Organizational Culture sits in the background of an organization: Collective patterns of behavior: its habits and rituals. It’s like the organization’s personality. • 📘 Get the Book of the Course! • The Nature of Organizations: A Management Courses Introduction • ================================================== • We work in organizations.

(Mclean, A. Marshall, J. 1993) • We describe organizational culture as strong if the shared values and routines are valued deeply and shared widely. • It has big consequences: • • Staff motivation • • And hence, productivity • • Interactions with third parties (customers, suppliers, partners, competitors, society) • • Influences choices and decision-making • • Creates modes of control, blocking or facilitating certain communication channels • • Shapes public perception of the org • • Organizational culture is often a broad reflection of the wider culture within which it sits. But it will usually amplify some aspects of that wider culture - and sometimes subvert or invert them. • • ‘How we do things around here’ will become the culture. By shifting behaviors, you can shift the way people think and feel about your organization. • • Often, there are a few, informal leaders, whose actions have a disproportionate impact on the people around them, and can cause a shift in the culture; for good or for ill. • • Organizations do not always have a uniform culture. Different sub-cultures are due to differences in regions, departments, or functions. They reflect problems common to a distinctive subset of organizational members. • The saying (attributed with very little evidence to Peter Drucker) that ‘Culture eats strategy for breakfast’ suggests that a good strategy can be destroyed by a bad culture. • • RECOMMENDED EXERCISE • ====================== • Think about the cultures within your organization... • 1.
