Document Summary

Values: stable, evaluative beliefs that guide our preferences for outcomes or courses of actions in a variety of situations (we focus on shared values) Organizational culture consists of shared assumptions- are nonconscious, taken-for- granted perceptions or ideal prototypes of behaviour that are considered the correct way to think and act towards problems and opportunities: espoused vs. enacted values. Espoused: the values that companies what want others to believe guide the organization"s decisions and actions. Usually socially desirable and present a positive public image. Employees and top management do have conflicts with the organization"s espoused values. Corporate culture consists of shared enacted values the values that most leaders and employees truly rely on to guide their decisions and behaviour- apparent by watching executives and other employees in action. Differ in their cultural content, that is the relative ordering of shared values. Oc models oversimplify the diversity of cultural values and combinations of values. Oc includes shared assumptions, not just shared values.
