7. Organizational culture and strategic management
Culture has long been on the agenda of management theorists. Culture change
must mean changing the corporate ethos, the images and values that inform action
and this new way of understanding organizational life must be brought into the
management process. There are a number of central aspects of culture:
• There is an evaluative element involving social expectations and standards;
the values and beliefs that people hold central and that bind organizational groups.
• Culture is also a set of more material elements or artifacts. These are the signs
and symbols that the organization is recognized by but they are also the events,
behaviors and people that embody culture.
• The medium of culture is social interaction, the web of communications that
constitute a community. Here a shared language is particularly important in
expressing and signifying a distinctive organizational culture.
8. Culture and the management of change
If real change is to occur in organizations rather than cosmetic or short – lived
change, it has to happen at the cultural level. Corporate culture has many
powerful attractions as a lever for change. The problem is how to get a hand
on the lever.
• Firstly, cultures can be explicitly created –we have to be aware of what it
takes to change an existing culture.
• Culture is frequently counterpoised to formal rationality .
• Culture helps to resolve the dilemma of bureaucracy.
• The ability of companies to be culturally innovative is related to leadership
and top management must be responsible for building strong cultures.
• Leaders construct the social reality of the organization, they shape values
and attend to the drama and vision of the organization.
• formal procedures are necessary for business integrity but they also stifle
autonomy and innovation.
9. Functions of Organizational Culture
• Cooperation - by providing shared values, culture
may enhance goodwill and mutual trust,
encouraging cooperation
• Decision Making - shared beliefs gives members a
consistent set of basic assumptions which may
lead to a more efficient decision-making process
due to fewer disagreements
• Perception - what an individual sees is
conditioned by what others sharing the same
experience say they are seeing
10. Continued
• Communication - culture reduces communication
problems in two ways: 1. no need to communicate in
matters for which shared assumption already exist
(things go without saying) 2. shared assumptions
provide guidelines and cues to help interpret messages
that are received
• Commitment - strong cultures foster strong
identification which causes commitment
• Justification of behavior - culture helps organization
members make sense of their behavior by providing
justification for it.
