This document discusses organizational culture and how to diagnose and benchmark a company's culture. It defines organizational culture as a set of shared values, beliefs, understandings, and ways of thinking among members. It outlines four dimensions to assess: power orientation, role orientation, achievement orientation, and support orientation. An organization's existing culture index and preferred index can be calculated and the culture gap determined to identify areas for change.
