Solution
Organizations are, in a way, small or large ecosystems, within which its members interact under
certain codes of conduct. Organizational culture is then all these formal and informal rules which
take the members of the organization to establish and accepted behaviors that generate
disapproval, and in general, the expected behavior of each of the members.
Recent studies have found that, generally, there is a culture that is identified as dominant,
because most of the members of the organization accept and follow it.
However, it is also true that the dominant culture is not homogeneously accepted by all
members, some of them create rules and codes as a reaction to it, thus forming more specific
subcultures.
Thus, the dominant culture revolves around the core values of the organization or that group of
people in particular, and are widely shared.
Instead, subcultures go around problems, experiences or specific realities of a smaller group of
people, values are not massive, but share few people in response to specific situations, such as a
high school subculture or Latinos African Americans.
In the dominant culture deprive the philosophical values that inspire the masses, in the subculture
specific needs of this group are imposed, it is more pragmatic, that is a fundamental difference.
