CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT



WHAT IS CULTURE?

the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses:

Excellence of taste in the fine arts and humanities, also known as

high culture

An integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behaviourthat depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and sociallearning

The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices thatcharacterizes an institution, organization or group



CONT…..

eighteenth and nineteenth-century--as in agriculture or horticulture

nineteenth century--betterment or refinement of the individual,

especially through education, and then to the fulfillment of

national aspirations or ideas

mid-nineteenth century-- some scientists used the term "culture" to

refer to a universal human capacity

twentieth century, "culture" emerged as a concept central to

anthropology, encompassing all human phenomena that are not

purely results of human genetics

Following world war II, the term became important, in other

disciplines such as cultural studies, organisational psychology and

management



ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

An idea in the field of organisational studies and

management

psychology, attitudes, experiences, beliefs and

values (personal and cultural values) of an

organization



the specific collection

of values and norms

that are shared by

people and groups in an

organization

organizational

values, also called as"beliefs and ideas about

what kinds of goals

members of an

organization



FOUR ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS





GROUP THINK

"a quick and easy way to refer to a mode of thinkingthat people engage when they are deeply involved in

a cohesive in-group, when members' strive forunanimity override their motivation to realisticallyappraise alternatives of action"

Innovative organizations need individuals who are

prepared to challenge the status quo —

be it group-think or bureaucracy, and also need procedures toimplement new ideas effectively

Corporate culture is something that is very hard to change andemployees need time to get used to the new way of organizing

Corporate culture is the total sum of the values, customs,traditions, and meanings that make a company unique

Organizational culture and corporate culture are often usedinterchangeably but it is a mistake to state that they are differentconcepts

All corporations are also organizations but not all organizationsare corporations

Organizations include religious institutions, not-for-profit groups,and government agencies
