Assignment: Leading Strategic Change Management Case Analysis
Read the Cultures at Work: The Case of Home Care Service.
Answer the questions:
• How many subcultures co-exist within Home Care Service, and how do they compare and contrast?
• How useful is Bloor and Dawson's characterization of the different types of subcultures?
• Is there an organizational culture? What is it, and how does it differ from the professional subcultures that exist within HCS?
• How is it possible to manage cultural change in such an organization? What are the problems and issues that you are likely to encounter?
• Consider Alvesson and Sveningsson's (2008, p. 39) claim that, "the concept of culture is often used to refer to top management beliefs of organizational culture (ideas of a specific culture can often be seen as a senior management subculture) that marginalize the (sometimes contrasting) meaning creation of other groups in an organization."
• Reflect (and if possible, discuss) how this case may have been rewritten if the authors had adopted a fragmentary or integration perspective.
