Organizational Culture Analysis Project
Organizational culture is a system of shared values, norms, and assumptions that guides members’ attitudes and behaviors and influences how they perceive and react to their environment (Griffin et. al, 2017). Because culture is predicated upon perception, there will be multiple views.
As you view organizations for employment or seek to learn more about your current organization, it is important to evaluate the culture within an organization. The purpose of this assignment is for you to analyze a company and to determine its organizational culture.
