and mentoring share many similarities. According to the International Institute of Coaching (2012) coaching is a form of personal development where the client and coach form an alliance that promotes and sustains the client’s personal growth. Coaching is an interactive, results oriented process that brings about change. Mentoring on the other hand is the process of giving another person help and advice.
According to Psychology Today, overstressed managers are increasingly turning to coaches to avoid burnout and to maximize their chances of success.
Mentoring
Relationship building is another way of transmitting organizational culture. Mentoring at its best describes a reciprocal relationship between two or more individuals (Zachary, 2005). Mentoring allows information to be transmitted, helps with future career growth, and assists organizations in retaining productive employees. In many businesses employees are encouraged to form relationships with mentors. These relationships tend to instill a sense of membership in the company. However, the mentor/protégée relationship is not indefini.

Identifying Organizational Learning Issues
The concept of organizational learning is complex as it lacks a universal definition. In as much as various scholars define the organizational learning differently, there is no denying that a firm must understand the concept’s key aspects. An understanding of the concept is essential for effective transitioning of a firm from individual learning to organizational learning. Some of the key aspects worth understanding include, an organizations culture regarding knowledge sharing, organizational learning mechanisms, and the norms relating to organizational learning. Moreover, it is important to understand disconnect between organizational learning and culture based on mystifications of organizational learning.
Organizational Culture and Learning
ABC Company’s (my employer) culture mirrors teamwork and passion. Employers can freely share their opinion, ideas and views to support the organization and inspire growth. Management encourages generation of innovative ideas that can propel the organization to greater heights and enhance its competitiveness in the market. Moreover, the company’s culture embraces formation of healthy relationships among employees for the establishment of a knowledge sharing environment. At ABC Company, inclusivity and respect for diversity is of absolute importance. There is a policy that prohibits discrimination of employees on the basis of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation, religion, and disability. Hence, all employees can freely share their ideas without fear of victimization. Nonetheless, departments fear sharing knowledge with one another which hinders the company’s culture of teamwork. The disconnection is due to three mystifications organizational learning, namely-anthropomorphism, multiple parochial disciplines, and double loop learning concept.
According to Lipshitz, Friedman and Popper (2007), anthropomorphism is the act of treating firms like human beings by attributing human capacity of learning to an organization. But whereas people have the ability to share knowledge as well as learn from experiences, organizations cannot. At ABC Company, the organization’s culture is grounded on the assumption that organizational learning happens through employee training. But this leads to disconnection between organizational learning and organizational culture because learning of individual employees does not imply organizational learning.
Mystification of organizational learning is also attributed to multiplicity of viewpoints regarding the concept. Studies ...

Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in organizational settings. It examines how individuals, groups, and structures influence behavior within organizations for the purpose of improving organizational effectiveness. OB draws from various foundations including individual differences, whole person concepts, caused behavior, human dignity, organizations as social systems, and mutuality of interest among members. Understanding OB provides insights into organizational life and can help individuals, groups, and managers to be more effective. However, some argue that OB has not contributed to improved interpersonal relations and can breed competition instead of harmony.

This is a student presentation researched and designed by Organizational Communication graduate Lynette Clower during her senior year. The portfolio discusses the portrayed image and identiy of a UCO campus department over a five month period.
Organizational Communication is:
A dynamic area of expertise which encompasses the foundations of communication theories, policy and practice, and human understanding.
The document discusses organizational culture, describing it as a system of shared meanings held by an organization's members that distinguishes that organization from others. It explores how cultures originate from founders and are maintained over time through socialization, stories, rituals, and other practices. Effective cultures foster employee happiness, teamwork, and a sense that meaningful work is being accomplished.
Organizational culture has a powerful effect on the performance and the long-term effectiveness of organizations. Organizational culture has the power to influence employee behaviors and increase employee commitment and productivity. Therefore, a clear understanding of organizational culture and how to effect its change is important for business leaders because it influences the way that organizations react to the changing demands of the business environment. The goal of this paper is to explore what is meant by organizational culture, why it is important, and how to change an established culture so that it is better aligned with the organization’s strategy.

Will China Continue to Be a Growth MarketplaceChina is expected.docxgauthierleppington
Will China Continue to Be a Growth Marketplace?
China is expected to have some 200 million people in the middle-and upper-income categories by the early 2020s. This is a tenfold increase in people with significant purchasing power in China in the last decade, from only about 17 million people in these income brackets as recently as in 2010. China’s purchasing power for virtually all products and services has strong potential, and foreign companies now strategically try to take advantage of these market opportunities.
What have we learned culturally that can help companies establish themselves in China’s marketplace? What went wrong early on? The experience of well-known companies such as Best Buy and eBay can serve as a learning experience for others. From a retail perspective, the motivation for many foreign companies to enter China some years ago – beyond those companies that have been in China for decades to achieve low-cost production-was the triple growth of the Chinse economy that was seen from 2000 to 2010.
With this growth, China overlook Japan to become the second-largest economy in the world behind only the United States, and its large population makes for an enormous target market. Investment from foreign companies was the largest driver of China’s growth. Many companies also increased their exports to China. The United States, for example, saw its companies increase exports to China by 542 percent from 2000 to 2011 (from about $16.2 billion to $103.9 billion), while total exports to the rest of the world by U.S. companies increased by only 80 percent in the same time period. Exporting to China has become somewhat stagnant in the last few years, now representing about $113 billion.
Interestingly, domestic consumption as a share of the Chinese economy has declined from 46 percent to 33 percent. This consumption decline-coupled with slower growth globally-has raised questions about China’s momentum. Tight now, around 85 percent of mainstream Chinese consumers are living in the top 100 wealthiest cities. By the early 2020s, these advanced and developing cities will have relatively few customers who are lower than the middle-and upper-income brackets by Chinese standards. The expectation is that these consumers will be able to afford a range of developed nations’ products and services, such as flat-screen televisions and overseas travel, making the Chinese customer much more of a target for a wide variety of consumption.
But can the unprecedented Chinese growth really continue, and would it come from increased consumption? The resounding answer is yes, according to McKinsey & Company. McKinsey found that barring another major economic shock similar to what we saw in 2008, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) will continue to grow, albeit not at the historic levels seen between 2000 and 2010, when it grew about 10.4 percent annually. The growth in the 2020s is expected to be about 5.5 percent per year (until 2030), which is still far a.

Wikis for Learning and Collaboration
A wiki is a collaborative web site that collects and organizes content, created and revised by its users. The most well-known example is Wikipedia. Wikis are a way to grow a knowledge base around a particular content area, be it best practices in a particular field or how to use a specific piece of hardware/software. A hallmark of Web 2.0 is that it improves as more people use it and this approach underlies wiki-based learning. It is based on the idea that within any enterprise, a great deal of knowledge exists among the members. Sharing this knowledge and information can raise the organization’s intelligence level, be it a university, an association, a corporation or club.

Educational Administration: Concepts and Practices 6th Edition by Fred C. Lu...zulfiqaralibehan
This document summarizes key aspects of organizational culture as it relates to educational administration. It discusses various models and frameworks for understanding organizational culture, including Deal and Kennedy's four dimensions of culture, Steinhoff and Owens' typology of school culture phenotypes, and theories like Theory Z. It also covers the differences between organizational culture and climate, and analyzes constructs for conceptualizing school climate, such as Halpin and Croft's open vs closed climates and Hoy and Tarter's healthy vs sick schools. The document concludes with a discussion of the Comprehensive Assessment of School Environments and Willower, Eidell, and Hoy's concept of pupil control ideology.
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in organizational settings. It examines how individuals, groups, and structures influence behavior within organizations for the purpose of improving organizational effectiveness. OB draws from various foundations including individual differences, whole person concepts, caused behavior, human dignity, organizations as social systems, and mutuality of interest among members. Understanding OB provides insights into organizational life and can help individuals, groups, and managers to be more effective. However, some argue that OB has not contributed to improved interpersonal relations and can breed competition instead of harmony.

This is a student presentation researched and designed by Organizational Communication graduate Lynette Clower during her senior year. The portfolio discusses the portrayed image and identiy of a UCO campus department over a five month period.
Organizational Communication is:
A dynamic area of expertise which encompasses the foundations of communication theories, policy and practice, and human understanding.
The document discusses organizational culture, describing it as a system of shared meanings held by an organization's members that distinguishes that organization from others. It explores how cultures originate from founders and are maintained over time through socialization, stories, rituals, and other practices. Effective cultures foster employee happiness, teamwork, and a sense that meaningful work is being accomplished.
Organizational culture has a powerful effect on the performance and the long-term effectiveness of organizations. Organizational culture has the power to influence employee behaviors and increase employee commitment and productivity. Therefore, a clear understanding of organizational culture and how to effect its change is important for business leaders because it influences the way that organizations react to the changing demands of the business environment. The goal of this paper is to explore what is meant by organizational culture, why it is important, and how to change an established culture so that it is better aligned with the organization’s strategy.

WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes.docxgauthierleppington
WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources. All of this is done through cyberspace and breaches of cyber security. WikiLeaks’ website, initiated in 2006 in Iceland by the organization Sunshine Press, claims a database of 10 million documents in 10 years since its launch. The group has released a number of significant documents that have become front-page news items. During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, Wikileaks released e-mails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta. These releases are believed to have caused significant damage to the Clinton campaign. The U.S. intelligence community expressed "high confidence" that the leaked e-mails had been hacked by Russia and supplied to Wikileaks, while Wikileaks denied their source was Russia or any other state. During the campaign, Wikileaks and Assange regularly promoted and popularized conspiracy theories and falsehoods about Clinton and the Democratic Party. Wikileaks has drawn criticism for its absence of whistleblowing on or criticism of Russia, and for criticizing the Panama Papers' exposé of Russian businesses and individuals with offshore bank accounts. Wikileaks has also been criticized for inadequately curating its content and violating the personal privacy of individuals. Wikileaks has, for instance, revealed Social Security numbers, medical information, credit card numbers, and other sensitive personal information. Should officers of WikiLeaks, including Assange be prosecuted? Has WikiLeaks damaged the United States or has it performed a service by revealing information that the United States citizens had a right to know. Remember, nothing that WikiLeaks has ever published has been proven to be false.

It asks the reader to consider their stance on how far back the history of manga goes after reviewing several sources, and discusses factors like sequential art, style, and Japanese origins that are important in defining manga's history. It also questions why there is disagreement about the timeline of manga's history.
WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization which uses its website to publ.docxgauthierleppington
WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization which uses its website to publish governmental, private data, corporate or religious documents that had previously been secret. The website was started in 2006, and had over 1.2 million documents in its database by the time one year had passed. Usually, it does not give out the names and addresses of people who post documents. The site is based in Sweden. Though its name is similar to Wikipedia, it is not related to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. The name was chosen because WikiLeaks used a wiki model at first, where people could edit the site, but it has since changed and is no longer open for editing. In July 2010, WikiLeaks was in the news for publishing over 76,900 documents related to the War in Afghanistan. In October that same year, WikiLeaks posted almost 400,000 documents that were about the War in Iraq. This was the largest ever leak of documents about the US Army. It reported mainly on deaths of civilians, soldiers, and sightings of homemade bombs or armed civilians. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of the organization WikiLeaks, which he founded in 2006. He has won numerous accolades for journalism, including the Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism. Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 but came to global prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks, provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010), the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Following the 2010 leaks, the United States government launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and asked allied nations for assistance. In November 2010, a request was made for Assange's extradition to Sweden, where he had been questioned months earlier over allegations of sexual assault and rape. Assange continued to deny the allegations, and expressed concern that he would be extradited from Sweden to the United States due to his perceived role in publishing secret American documents. Assange surrendered himself to UK police on 7 December 2010 and was held for ten days in solitary confinement before being released on bail. Assange sought and was granted asylum by Ecuador in August 2012. Assange has since remained in the Embassy of Ecuador in London, and is unable to leave without being arrested for breaching his bail conditions. In 2016, WikiLeaks published the DNC leaks and the Podesta emails during the United States presidential election, 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange There are many who have credited WikiLeaks and its founder Assange for exposing the United States, and many in its government for many illegal and secret acts on the part of the United States. Others have claimed that Assange and WikiLeaks is a spy and traitor and has seriously damage.

Wikis for Learning and Collaboration
A wiki is a collaborative web site that collects and organizes content, created and revised by its users. The most well-known example is Wikipedia. Wikis are a way to grow a knowledge base around a particular content area, be it best practices in a particular field or how to use a specific piece of hardware/software. A hallmark of Web 2.0 is that it improves as more people use it and this approach underlies wiki-based learning. It is based on the idea that within any enterprise, a great deal of knowledge exists among the members. Sharing this knowledge and information can raise the organization’s intelligence level, be it a university, an association, a corporation or club.

a strong case for the formation of political parties.

The income statement is also known as the Profit and Loss Statement, P&L, Operating Statement, Earnings statement, and a few other names. At its most basic, this statement is a company’s revenues, expenses, and the difference between the two. The difference is called net income.
It is important to note that revenues and profits are not the same as cash. Revenues include amounts earned which may or may not have been collected from customers yet. There could be amounts that customers had paid at an earlier time but have just been earned. There could be estimates and assumptions included as well.
Expenses are not necessarily amounts that have been paid. They include expenses that have been incurred but may be paid later. There may also be amounts that were paid in an earlier time-period but are now being recognized due to the matching of revenues and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are also present in expenses.
Net income is sometimes called the bottom line. It is revenues minus expenses. If expenses are more than revenues, it is called net loss. There may be important subtotals presented in the income statement such as gross profit. This subtotal is sometimes called the line. Gross profit is net sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold are costs or expenses directly related to sales such as direct labor, direct materials and overhead.
Each statement will have a heading. It includes the company name, statement name and the time-period covered. An income statement covers a span of time. It is usually a company’s fiscal year but can be for shorter periods such as a month or quarter (three months).

Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, PoorerThe thesis o.docxgauthierleppington
Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer
The thesis of the Paper
The report " Why the Rich are Getting Rich and the Poor, Poorer opens the eyes of the audience by making them understand the unemployment that people are suffering from is because of lack of technology and education. The paper aims to make the reader understand why the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer (Heyward 40). The author gives an introduction of three boats sailing within the economy of America. One of the boats carries the symbolist analysis; another one is the in-person servers, and the last one carries the routine producers. The author states that the Americans were once in the same boat when corporations could sell goods and services globally as this increased the purchasing power of the Americans (Berry, 13). In this part, the author introduces the reader on its main ideas of the essay and what will be covered in the essay.
Supporting arguments
Robert Reich supports his thesis by giving various explanations to help in the understanding of the reasons behind his arguments. First, the author talks about increasing rates of the sinking of the boats that belong to the routine producers from the time the Americans began to construct companies in the developing countries. When this happens, the employees are hired from these countries and are given the exact payments that the Americans could have earned. Meaning, the minority who depend on these industries for their survival continues to suffer and remain poor. However, the only people who benefit are the symbolic Analysts.
The second argument is that the in-person server’s and the routine producers have lost their jobs because they have been replaced with modern technology. According to Reich, as much as the in-person servers suffer, they are protected from the direct impacts of global competition as compared to the routine producers who are directly affected by the issue (Heyward 16). The author states that only the symbolic analysts have their jobs in the rise as their services are demanded across the globe because they have problem-solving skills. The report also brings a clear understanding of the reason why the poor are getting poorer especially be talking about the companies replacing human efforts with the robots which are believed to be more efficient.
Another argument is that the author explains that the in-person servants become even more miserable when the routine producers lose their jobs and begin board ships carrying the In-Person servants. According to the author, these people are exposed to more risks of unemployment and are threatened by the increased number of high school graduates, the high rates of immigration and the labour saving machinery (Berry, 5). He believes that the world has only created more opportunities for the symbolic analysts and they end up getting more money from selling their knowledge to those who want to make a fortune. The customers that are served .

For the discussion, we will be reviewing the “For Your Consideration” box on page 122 of the Shi text. Shi states that we should care about vulnerable populations because of the following items:
Vulnerable populations have greater health needs.
The prevalence of vulnerability is influenced [by] and therefore should be remedied by social forces.
Vulnerability is fundamentally linked with national resources.
Vulnerability and equity cannot coexist.
After reviewing this and the required background reading (and doing any additional research) discuss your thoughts on these items. As Shi asks, “Are these points valid?” (p. 122) How does this affect health administrators?

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Introduction:
Apple Inc. is a globally known company for which manufactures
computers and its accessories. It has been noticed that the
company has been going through various changes in their
organizational culture as well a site organizational structure due
to various environmental changes and the need to stay in market
competitively. The company also is a fast growing and within a
little time; the management might become unable to keep and
maintain the operations of the organization's finance.
In this regards, the company has a need to evaluate its
organizational structure and most importantly their culture so as
to avoid acts of bankruptcy. In essence, with the company's
drive to perform very well in its market and to succeed in its
9. operations, the structure and culture ought to be transformed so
as to enable them to form a more competitive activity and
continue performing well in their market (In Meschtscherjakov,
In De, In Fuchsberger, In Murer, & In Tscheligi, 2016).
It is also quite coherent that Apple Company has undergone
major transformations in their critical time through various
restructuring processes which enable them to regain control of
their operations as well as finances which indubitably helps the
company in staying competitive on the global market.
Organizational Culture
The organizational culture of Apple is mainly based on the ideal
which entails self-motivated individuals who have the
willingness to work harder despite various issues which might
surround them. The unique apple company structure has
indubitably allowed the company to grow as well as react to
various quick changes when compared mainly to their
competitors. It can be denoted that the company’s culture which
had allowed the decisions to be made at the lower level enabled
them to grow fast as the changes were implemented whenever it
was deemed to be necessary offering them advantages.
Their policies as stipulated in their corporate headquarters
ensured that all the activities especially of the local employees
were made daily so as to ensure that the decisions being made
are in line with the needs of the company to satisfy their
customer's needs. By using this structure, the company had been
able to react to such quick issues which need quick responses
and enables the company to find solutions without involving the
corporate headquarters which would have taken a lot of time in
making such decisions (In Pelsmaekers, In Rollo, & In Jacobs,
2014).
With such cultural practices of the company in place, it is
coherent that the employees will maintain their acts of being
creative so as to ensure that they only produce the best and
unique products to enable them to be on top of the market and
win the entire market. Moreover, as the culture encourages acts
of innovations, the employees will have the abilities to explore
10. their talents fully in producing the unique goods for the
company which will be very appealing to the customers.
Apple Culture as a Descriptive Term
It is also quite coherent that the apple organization culture
mainly focuses on the employee's perception to their tasks and
whether they love being associated with the organization culture
or not. In ensuring that the employees are comfortable with the
culture, the employees are given freedom to come up with
policies which will enable them to carry out their duties
willingly and satisfactorily while ensuring that they achieve the
set organizational goals (Doshi, McGregor, & Kahlenberg,
2015).
In allowing the employees to work this way, they will be
encouraged to work together so that they can be able to come up
with a more acceptable and unique product of high quality
which will be appealing to the customers. This will indubitably
encouraged teamwork which will see the company improve its
productions and strengthened relationships among the
employees and the management. It as well leads to
encouragement of the innovations and inventions as they will be
putting together the different skills they have to come up with
the unique products (Alvesson, 2013).
Culture's Impact on Apple Inc.
The culture of Apple Inc. has been found to have various
impacts on both the employees and the management and to the
customers as well. It has generally impacted the organization
positively as it has enabled it to progress as the year’s moves.
With such cultures, the employees have come to understand
what they are expected of them and most importantly how to
handle various issues of the organization. This helps them in
achieving the set objectives of the company.
The culture as well as lead to establishing the major role of the
company and the methods which can be used in ensuring that
each role of the individuals are performed satisfactorily and
willingly so that it can be appealing to the customers. Notably,
by delegating some tasks to the employees as always being the
11. culture of the company, the employees will be able to have a
sense of identity and thus encouraged to work better and keep
such identity.
Notably, due to various activities which range from
decentralization in the various organizations, it can be noted
that Apple organizational culture has had positive impacts since
it ensures that the company despite any structural and
management changes, the organization culture is maintained and
keeps the company moving forward strong as always. This
ensures that the operations of the company do not tamper with
whatever the circumstances (Ehrhart, Schneider, & Macey,
2014).
Culture Creates Climate
With the organizational culture being depicted as the shared
perceptions of the organization by both the employees and the
management, the general environment of the organization as
well creates a place where it will determine if the employees are
comfortable not which will further have various impacts on the
production of the products in the company. In this regards,
creation of a good and appealing environment should be a
priority for the management so that the employees can be
motivated to work hard and achieve the set objectives. This will
also lead to customer satisfaction and most importantly a good
financial gain being realized by the company.
Creating and Sustaining Culture
Creating a culture is deemed to be a very good practice while
maintaining it moreover is very good. This is to say that
creating and maintaining a culture in an organization is very
important as it will dictate the direction in which the company
is operating to. In this regards, the creation of culture needs
serious thoughts as well as research analysis so as to understand
what exactly is needed and acceptable to the company in order
for it to continue performing very well. In essence, there are
measures which can also be put in place to ensure that the
culture is maintained and not just fade away days after its
creation.
12. Apple Inc.’s culture started when its founding fathers decided to
put into practice some of the activities they believed it would
help them to penetrate the market and become successful. Some
of the cultures were maintained while the being dropped, and
most importantly others being adopted into the company as it
proved to be very beneficial to the company and to the
customers as well. Generally, to come up with a new
organization culture, the management usually asks the
employees to come up with practices which they believe it will
help the organization to carry out its activities efficiently and
serve customers satisfactorily without straining so much. The
proposals sent will then be analyzed, and its applicability
checked so that the best ones are adopted and practiced. This
forms a basis of an organization culture (Anderson, 2012).
Notably, the employees as well are given times to visit the other
competitor's companies posing as the customers so that they can
keenly look at the way they are being served and then note
down such cultural practices practiced by the competitors. They
will then adopt some of the practices which look appealing and
then practice them also at their companies. Notably, they can
also be trained by the trainers hired by the organization
regarding the most acceptable practices which are mainly
anticipated of the employees of any company. In this regards,
such training will help the employees to understand the culture
which is associated with the most successful companies and in
that regards behave as expected.
Conclusion
In summing up, it is coherent that Apple Inc. culture is so
appealing and is evident in the fact that it had been able to
satisfy their customers and keeping them asking for more
products from them. The way they handled the customers are
professionally acceptable with the quality products make it even
more attractive to the customers. In this regards, it can be noted
that organizational culture is very beneficial since it enables the
employees to perform their tasks professionally and be able to
achieve the set organizational goals.
13. Recommendation
In order for the Apple Inc. to improve their organizational
culture as well, customers should be involved. This is to say the
customers should be asked on what they would like to see when
carrying out their business in the company and the interaction
they will like to experience while interacting with the
employees of the company. In this regards, the company will be
able to serve their customers well and in turn get sufficient
financial gains to expand into other regions.
