Identifying Organizational Cultures (Pp. 488-492)Double S Cube - system of categorizing four types of organizational
culture using two dimensionsSociability - degree of friendliness among an organization’s membersSolidarity - degree to which people in an organization share a common
understanding of job-related tasks and goals- both dimensions have a positive and negative aspect
Four Organizational CulturesNetworked culture - extremely friendly and light-hearted in style
- people become acquainted quickly and feel part of the groupMercenary culture - focused on pulling together to complete the job
- intolerant of anything that interferes with getting the job doneFragmented culture - likely to have little contact with associates
- identify with their profession rather than their organizationCommunal culture - get along personally and professionally
Points to Remember About Organizational CultureOrganizations contain several culturesOrganizational cultures may change over timeNo one culture is better than another

events and actionsTools for Transmitting Culture - several mechanisms
Symbols - objects that connote meanings beyond their intrinsic contentStories - illustrate key aspects of an organization’s culture

helps sustain cultureCeremonies - special events that celebrate an organization’s valuesStatements of principle - explicitly written to describe the principles
and beliefs that guide an organizationCode of ethics - statement of organization’s ethical values

Time pressures - must instill some sense of urgency withoutcausing people to simply offer routine solutions inorder to meet deadlines
Resources to innovate - organizations must possess certain basicresources (e.g., human and financial) to make innovation possible
