Introduction p p Any attempt to bring changes in organization usually involves changing the Introduction p p Any attempt to bring changes in organization usually involves changing the organization’s culture. If rapid changes were to take place, the basic assumptions and transformation of the current culture may be altered if it is to have a realistic opportunity to succeed.

A deep understanding of organizational culture is vital in managing and implementing a change initiative.

Definition of Organizational Culture p p There are numerous scholarly definitions and opinions in Definition of Organizational Culture p p There are numerous scholarly definitions and opinions in defining culture in the context of organization. However, culture inevitably is described as an intangible asset in organizations (Itami, 1987)[1] which is shared, learnt, and transmitted (Beaumont, 1993)[2]. Schein (1985) [3] depicts organizational culture as the set of values, beliefs, and assumptions shared by the members of the organization. This is further supported by Morgan’s (1986) [4] definition of organizational culture as a vital tool in establishing ideas, values, norms, beliefs, and customs in creating an organization as a social unit.

Definition of Organizational Culture p p Sackman (1991) [1] is of the opinion that Definition of Organizational Culture p p Sackman (1991) [1] is of the opinion that culture acts as a control mechanism that can increase commitment towards the organization, achieving integration between firms and assist in adapting towards the desired change. A strong organizational culture acts as a compass, exhibits controlled guide, and serves as a balanced force among members of the organization. It can also act as a glue to bond people together in the organization. [1] Sackman, S. A. (1991). Cultural Knowledge in the Organization: Exploring Collective Mind. California: Newbury Park.

Definition of Organizational Culture p p Hofstede (1991)[1] defines culture as the collective programming Definition of Organizational Culture p p Hofstede (1991)[1] defines culture as the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one human group from another. According to Flanagan (1995)[2], corporate culture demonstrates how practices are manifested and how problems are solved in an organization. Comprehensively, corporate culture is the pattern of basic assumptions created, discovered, and developed by an organization when confronted with problems of external adaptation and internal integration. These basic assumptions evolved into beliefs, artifacts and rituals / norms (Schein, Martin, and Meyerson, 1986)[3]. [1] Hofstede, G. (1991). Culture and Organizations: Software of The Mind.

Basic assumptions These are the basic precepts or principles that characterizes an organization in Basic assumptions These are the basic precepts or principles that characterizes an organization in terms of what it is, what it stands for and what it is all about. p It is what drives the organization and determines how its members perceive, think, feel and behave. p It underlies the various aspects of organizational activity and represents the core ideology. p

More definitions of assumptions p “An assumption is an assertion about some characteristic of More definitions of assumptions p “An assumption is an assertion about some characteristic of the future that underlies the current operations or plans of an organization”

Types of assumptions. There are multiple types of assumptions. p The most known derivation Types of assumptions. There are multiple types of assumptions. p The most known derivation is between explicit and implicit assumptions. p

Explicit assumptions are assumptions of which the intention that is fully revealed or expressed Explicit assumptions are assumptions of which the intention that is fully revealed or expressed without vagueness, implication or ambiguity. p Explicit assumptions are often not hard to find, since they are explicitly stated in the business plan. p Examples of parts in the business plan full of explicit assumptions are the financial forecast and the business system and organization. p

Callout 1: Deriving assumptions out of an explicit statement • “If we are later Callout 1: Deriving assumptions out of an explicit statement • “If we are later than 12 months, we will start losing opportunities”. If so… • The product will be available • The competitors have the capability to close the deals in 12 months • There must be an opportunity for us to lose, if so… • A customer is identified • The customer will feel a need to buy “If we are later than 12 months, we will lose the opportunity”. You can probably restate this statement, based on the underlying assumptions to “For each month delay in product availability, beyond the 12 th month, we will lose a market share of 3%”. This way you can calculate the financial impact of changes in the assumptions and start determining the criticality of the assumptions made.

Implicit assumptions are assumptions that are capable of being understood from something else though Implicit assumptions are assumptions that are capable of being understood from something else though they are not expressed. p The problem is that some important implicit assumptions in a plan go undetected. p And if no precautions are taken for a scenario where implicit assumptions prove to be wrong, this might lead to unpleasant surprises. p

Callout 2: Some Dangerous Implicit Assumptions List copied from Mc. Grath & Mac. Millan Callout 2: Some Dangerous Implicit Assumptions List copied from Mc. Grath & Mac. Millan (1995) 1. Customers will buy our product because we think it’s a good product 2. Customers will buy our product because it’s technically superior 3. Customers will agree with our perception that the product is “great” 4. The product will sell itself 5. Distributors are desperate to stock and service the product 6. We can develop the product on time and on budget 7. Competitors will respond rationally 8. We will be able to hold down prices while gaining share rapidly 9. We will have no trouble attracting the right staff 10. Customers will run no risk in buying from us instead of continuing to buy from. Mac. Millan (1995). Discovery-Driven Planning. Harvard Mc.

Values These are the social principles, goals, or standards held by members of an Values These are the social principles, goals, or standards held by members of an organization individually or collectively. p Values form the core of the culture, reflecting what is important in the organization and determining how the organization ought to be. p
