Corporate/Organisational Culture
This concept explores how organisations build up their own culture through tradition, history and structure. It also suggests that culture provides organisations with a sense of identity.
Technique Overview
Corporate/Organisational Culture Definition
Organisational culture is a pattern of basic assumptions invented, discovered or developed by a given group within an organisation as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integration. The pattern has worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore is to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel in relation to problems (Schein, 1988; 1996).
