CH 10 Response by Kira

Chapter 10 is about organizational culture. According to Chapter 10, there are six dimensions of organizational culture, which are 1.Process oriented vs. results oriented, 2. Employee oriented vs. job oriented, 3. Parochial vs. professional, 4. Open system vs. closed system, 5. Loose vs. tight control and 6. Normative vs. pragmatic. Learning theses six dimensions helps me to have a better understanding about culture.

I think this chapter is very useful and related to me because there is only one year before I graduate and start job hunting. Different companies have different culture, but I think they are more or less similar if they are in the same area or country. Learning and adopting the organizational culture are important tasks when first entering a company because it helps you to develop a good network and it plays an important role on whether you will successfully survive in in the company or not.
