Corporate culture
Types of corporate culture
Role culture
Where authority is defined by job title
Tend to have poor communication between departments so respond slowly to change
Change is quite rare as organisations tend to avoid risk for fear of failiure.
Person culture
Power culture
Centralised structure and decision making limited to a small number of people
Power cultures may struggle as the business grows and it cannot be run from the centre.
Employees may be more resistant to change as they feel managers are out of touch with the business.
Task culture
What is corporate culture?
The way people do things in a firm and the way they expect things to be done.
Shapes the attitude and expectations of staff and managers
Reinforced by business rules, managerial attitudes, managerial behaviour, and recruitment policies that recruit people who 'fit in'.
Strong or weak corporate culture
Strong culture
When employees agree with the corporate values of the business.
Employees will need less supervision as their beliefs will fit with the business's values.
Staff are more loyal to the business so turnover is lower and it increases motivation
Weak culture
Employees dont share the business's culture / values
They are instead forced to fit in with them.
