Problem
Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors).
Describe the culture of either your current or past place of employment.
Provide examples of and address each of the following topics:
a) Observable artifacts
b) Espoused values (These are what organizational members say they value, like ethical practice.)
c) Enacted values (These are reflected in the way individuals actually behave.)
In addition, describe how each item listed above impacts the values and culture of the organization.
