5. Process Of Creating
Organizational Culture
To create an Organizational
Culture is not easy task. At the
time of formation of an
organization, the promoters are
fully concentrated on designing
the process of the organization
and distributing goods & services.
It is after the completion of these
that they start thinking about the
culture of the organization. The
process of creating an
Organizational Culture involves
setting the tone of organizational
activities with the external
environment.

6. It also includes establishing implied rules for the behavior of its
members. On the basis of these rules , it is judged whether the pattern
of their working behavior is acceptable or not. The set of values &
norms determined by the promoters indicates the vision of the
organization for the future.
Examples

Organizational Culture
is “ Progress is our most
important product”
2. Delta Airlines – “ The
Delta Family feeling”
3. IBM - “ Service”

8. Types of Organizational Culture

9. u Academy
An Organization that provides
employees opportunities to master
many jobs & move on to others can
be called an academy
E.g. :- coca-cola, IBM

10. u Club
Organization that lay emphasis on
getting people to fit in & be loyal &
values the age & experience of
employees can be called clubs

11. u Baseball Team
Organization in high-tech fields ( E.g.
:- Between department firms &
biotech companies ) & professional
fields ( E.g. :- Investment, Banking,
Law & Accounting ) have highly
skilled employees who tend to take
risks are handsomely rewarded for
their success. They have a culture
that can be compared with the
culture of a professional baseball
team with stars who are welling to
be traded to another baseball team
if the compensation is right.

12. u Fortress
An organization that is facing hard
times & is preoccupied with survival
fits into the “fortress culture”. A
fortress may be a stimulating place to
work for those who thrive on the
challenges of turning around a
company.
