Organizational Culture Analysis
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). For
example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for
Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an
artifact of culture is Ashford University’s shield that serves as
our logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead
paper. Submit a two- to three-page paper (excluding the title
and reference pages) describing the culture of either your
current or past place of employment.
Your paper should provide examples of and address each of the
following topics:
Observable artifacts
Espoused values (These are what organizational members say
they value, like ethical practice.)
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.
Your paper must use a minimum of two scholarly sources, in
addition to the textbook. Your paper must also follow the APA
Style guide.
Carefully review the

for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
