Organizational culture is shaped by behaviors, beliefs, values, and practices. It can provide an advantage to businesses or undermine their success. The document discusses:
1. Building culture requires understanding the current culture and desired changes, focusing on a few critical behaviors, and evolving the culture over time through programs and measurement of progress.
2. Culture is influenced by vision, values, practices, people, narratives, physical space, and must align with business strategy to drive employee fulfillment and customer satisfaction.
3. A framework is provided for cultural evolution that identifies behaviors to change and groups to influence, using formal and informal mechanisms to drive new behaviors before new beliefs.

The Environment and Corporate Culture
1. Define an organizational ecosystem and how the general and task environments affect an organization’s ability to thrive.
The organizational environment consists of all elements existing outside the boundary of the organization that have the potential to affect and influence the organization. This environment consists of two layers: the task environment and the general environment.
The task environment is closer to the organization and includes the sectors that conduct day-to-day transactions with the organization and directly influence its basic operations and performance such as competitors, suppliers, and customers.
The general environment affects the organization indirectly. It includes social, economic, legal-political, international, natural, and technological factors that influence all organizations about equally.
2. Explain the strategies that managers use to help organizations adapt to an uncertain or turbulent environment.
The environment creates uncertainty for organization managers. Uncertainty means that managers do not have sufficient information about environmental factors to understand and predict environmental needs and changes. Two basic factors that influence uncertainty are the number of factors that affect the organization and the extent to which those factors change. Strategies to adapt to these changes in the environment include boundary-spanning roles, interorganizational partnerships, and mergers and joint ventures.
Boundary-spanning roles are assumed by people and/or departments that link and coordinate the organization with key elements in the external environment. Interorganizational partnerships are a popular strategy for adapting to the environment by reducing boundaries and increasing collaboration with other organizations. A merger is the combining of two or more organizations into one. A joint venture involves a strategic alliance or program by two or more organizations.
3. Define corporate culture.
Culture can be defined as the set of key values, beliefs, understandings, and norms shared by members of an organization. It can be analyzed at two levels. At the surface level are visible artifacts, which include things such as manner of dress, patterns of behavior, physical symbols, organizational ceremonies, and office layout. At a deeper, less obvious level are the expressed values and beliefs, which can be discerned from how people explain and justify what they do. These are values that members of the organization hold at a conscious level. They can be interpreted from the stories, language, and symbols that organization members use to represent them. Some values become so deeply embedded in a culture that members are no longer consciously aware of them. These basic, underlying assumptions and beliefs are the essence of culture and subconsciously guide behavior and decisions.
4. Provide organizational examples of symbols, stories, heroes, slogans, and ce.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Introduction to organizational culture
Culture is self sustaining patterns on behaving, feeling, thinking & believing
that determine “how we do things around here”
Self sustaining - culture has inertia
With out a really strong & persistent force, it won’t change its course
Culture can be an asset that enables, energizes and enhances human behavior
and when wisely utilized it can accelerate and sustain business results
At its worst, culture can be a drag on productivity and emotional commitment.
It can lead to under performance & undermine long term success
Every winning culture has a unique personality and soul that cannot be invented or
imposed. Company’s character needs to be discovered from within
A company’s key to success is in its heart and soul
4. Components of Culture (1/2)
Vision
Values
Practices
People
Narrative
Place
A great culture starts with a vision or mission statement
They guide a company’s values and provide it with purpose
A vision statement is a simple but foundational element of culture
A company’s values are the core of its culture
While a vision articulates a company’s purpose, values offer a set of
guidelines on the behaviors and mindsets needed to achieve that vision
Values lose importance unless they are manifested in a company’s practices
If an organization professes, “people are our greatest asset,” it should also be
ready to invest in people in visible ways
No company can build a coherent culture without people who either share its
core values or possess the willingness and ability to embrace those values
Greatest firms in the world have some of the most stringent recruiting policies
Every organization has a unique history / story
The ability to unearth that history and craft it into a narrative is a core element
of culture creation
Open architecture more conducive to certain office behaviors, like
collaboration
Place - whether geography, architecture, or aesthetic design - impacts the
values and behaviors of people in a workplace

7. How does culture matter in business? – (2/2)
Culture of an organization is the principle source of its competitive advantage & brand
differentiation
Value driven organizations are the most successful organizations
Values & behavior drive culture
Culture drives employee fulfillment
Employee fulfillment drives customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction drives shareholder value
8. Practical Approach to Culture building / Culture Evolution
Framework (1/2)
A deeply embedded culture does not change very much / very fast.
Major culture replacement requires extensive programs / structural re-design (often hard
and often fail)
In most cases you don’t need to worry about the entire culture in your organization
Whenever we deal with culture, we have to break down culture to the person level
Start with changing behaviors, not mind sets
Focus on those cultural elements that are most relevant to the specific performance
improvement behaviors with which you are concerned
Identify which Groups of individuals are likely to be in a position to influence the
relevant cultural priorities
Use formal & informal mechanisms to make people behave differently even before they
believe
Research suggests b/w 66% to 75% organizational culture change efforts fail
