The advantages and disadvantages of a strong organisational culture in business.
This paper explains how a strong organisational culture has emerged as a key concept in the management of organisations. It is recognised as an important aspect of organisations as they adapt to complex and dynamic markets and environments. The paper explains what an organisational culture is and how it can be implemented into the working environment. The writer explains that this form is still fairly new and being experimented with.
“The emergence of the importance of the concept of organisational culture has occurred in the post world war two global environment, where markets have become increasingly competitive. As organisational environments have become increasingly turbulent, the need for constant adaptation to create efficient and effective processes has increased. “When environments become unstable, then people need first to make meaning in order to see what, if anything, there is to decide” (Weick, 1994, p158), and organisational culture helps employees make decisions.”
