JUSTIFICATION
Corporate entities tend to have distinct or specific shared characteristics or organizational behaviour which makes for differentiation and identity. Given the fact that organisations in the same sector are likely to have similar process, however the salient factor which makes for attitudinal differentiation is corporate culture This can be observed in the values, norms, traditions and service orientation of organisations
ELEMENTS
ASSUMPTIONS: These refer to the unconscious rationale for continuing to apply certain beliefs or specific behaviours PHILOSPHY: This refers to policies set forth by organisations to guide behaviour, whether expressly stated (mission statement) or not RULES: These refers to strict guidelines on how to get along in an organisation ORGANISATIONAL CLIMATE: This represents the general environment and sociopsychological atmosphere within which organisational members interact
MANIFESTATION
DOMINANT CULTURE: This is a set of core values shared by a majority of organisational members. This could include concerns for quality, customer service, loyalty etc. SUB-CULTURE: This is a set of values shared by a small minority. Sub- cultures can weaken and undermine organisational goals if they conflict with the dominant culture
Two major factors that determine the strengths of corporate culture are:
The orientation of members to group goals Reward structure prevailing in the system
Todays business environment is described as turbulent, unpredictable and rapidly changing. This type of business environment has established a compelling need for cultural change The challenge which corporate culture poses for organisations is to manage it effectively, create change or adapt to change and do so quickly or lose ground Studies have shown that many business organisations have failed in their bid to introduce strategic changes dictated by economic realities. The causes of such failure in effectively managing corporate culture for long term business goals
