Organizational Culture
“What an organization quietly rewards may outweigh its printed values.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Organizational culture is studied through shared patterns of meaning, practice, symbols, and assumptions. One organization may contain subcultures and contradictions rather than one collective mind.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A handbook praises collaboration while promotions reward individual results gained by withholding information.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
Culture is not a slogan, a national personality, or a cause that can explain every outcome after the fact.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Compare stories, routines, and rewards with the values the organization declares.
