Organisation culture
Omnipotent View of Management
Managers are directly responsible for an organization’s success or failure.
The quality of the organization is determined by the quality of its managers.
Managers are held accountable
for an organization’s performance
yet it is difficult to attribute
good or poor performance
directly to their influence
on the organization.
The cultural web
… represents the determinants of organisational culture
… considers taken-for-granted assumptions about the organisation and physical indicators of organisational culture
Organisational structure ...
… determines where the power will exist in the organisation
… simple structure - power rests with the owner
…functional structure - power rests with senior management
… divisional structure - power is spread throughout the organisation
… matrix structure - power rests with individuals in the matrix
Weak culture organisations
No clear and easily understood values
Employees will not know how to respond to particular situations in the workplace
External environment is poorly managed
Tend to be less successful than strong culture organisations
