This chapter
talks about the organizational cultures. Organizational culture refers to
culture in any type of organization that could be school, university, non-profit
groups, government agencies or business entities.
Organizational
culture is the collective behavior of humans who are part of an organization
and the meanings that the people attach to their actions. Culture includes the
organization values, visions, norms, working languages, systems, symbols,
beliefs and habits. It is also the pattern of such collective behaviors and
assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of
perceiving, and even thinking and feeling. Organizational culture affects the
way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with
stakeholders.
Organizational
culture is a set of shared mental assumptions that guide interpretation and
action in organizations by defining appropriate behavior for various
situations. At the same time although a company may have "own unique
culture", in larger organizations, there is a diverse and sometimes
conflicting cultures that co-exist due to different characteristics of the management
team.
