Factors of Organizational Culture Change
Introduction
Organizational
culture is one of the most important factors of a company's success of
failure. Each company has an organizational culture, and depending on
its strength, the organizational culture may have a prominent impact on
the members of the organization,
their values and behavior.
Organizations can be flexible or stagnant,
innovative or conservative, focusing on their external or internal
environment. In researching organizations, scientists have recently come to realize the important role of organizational culture in the lives of organization members and in general the
contribution of organizational culture into the company's successful
performance. Nowadays due to the changes of micro and macro environments
the formation of strong, integral, based
on common values organizational culture becomes increasingly relevant
to ensure the success of the whole company. That is why a number of
companies conduct research of their own organizational culture, and
their leaders attempt to manage their organizational
culture consciously - to form, develop and change it, if necessary.
The purpose of the research is to investigate the organizational culture (the case of furniture manufacturing company), to make comparative analysis of organizational culture in the years 2006 and 2008, to identify and describe the changes of organizational culture and the factors that had impact on it, to create a matrix of organizational culture management.
