Question: As we all are aware, the importance of a strong effective corporate culture is imperative for aligning with the strategic planning process as well as the "bottom line" of the organization. Analyze the following:
Characterize the culture of the organization in which you work. Discuss the culture and how it impacts and/or affects the work of middle managers?
In your organization or a previous organization, have you experienced deliberate interventions by senior management that were intended to refocus, refine or revise the culture of an organization?
Discuss to what degree these interventions were successful or unsuccessful? Why? [See Pearce and Robinson's information and the linked websites for background.]
