Respond to... Every organization will naturally develop a dominant culture and likely a subculture as the organization grows. First, an organization will have a dominant culture. A dominant culture within an organization is the core values that a majority of the members share (Baack, 2012). As the organization gets larger, it is likely a subculture will develop. A subculture is a smaller group within the organization that aligns values in terms of shared problems, situations, or experiences (Baack, 2012). Often times the dominant culture and subcultures will work together to drive the organization’s overall core values. While there may be exceptions to this that management must monitor for, often times the two cultures will work together to drive the personality of the organization (Baack, 2012). It is important for an organization to have an understanding of how these cultures affect the overall function of the company. These cultures make the organization distinct, create a sense of identity, build the social system, and drive inclusion (Baack, 2012). When there is a positive culture, there are also many additional benefits. The successful implementation of a positive culture will lead to stability, employee self-management, and a comfortable and secure workplace (Baack, 2012). The organization that I work for has a culture that focuses on the importance of inclusion and embracing diversity. This focus on a need to accept others regardless of their differences drives a culture that understands diversity. In order to accept and welcome others, one needs to understand and respect diversity. While the group that I work with has a dominant culture, there is also a subculture. Regardless of the situation, both groups are able to voice and share their opinions and thoughts in relation to a topic. Those beliefs are appreciated and as a group, we decide on what the best outcome for the specific situation will be. Resources Baack, D. (2012). Organizational behavior.

This document discusses corporate culture and its importance. It defines corporate culture as the shared beliefs, values and behaviors of a group. Understanding an organization's culture is important for executives to ensure success, for potential employees to assess fit, and to enable significant changes when needed. Corporate culture can be identified by examining artifacts like the physical workspace, communication styles, and reward systems. While difficult, corporate culture can be changed through consistent leadership driving a compelling vision for transformation.

A culture can be divided into two different settings that include dominant culture or subculture. A dominant culture reveals the core values of the organization and a subculture is a smaller group inside the dominant culture that share common problems and situations (Baack, 2012). Understanding the effects of these cultures is important as it provides insight on how an organization operates, its identity, and its social system.
I am currently working with a church organization to help establish their mission, vision, values, and other key messaging. As I have undertaken this process, I have come to realize there are a number of subcultures at work. In most cases, these subcultures are a result of relationship being built over time and in other situations, these subcultures are a result of groups looking to control the church. Regardless of the subculture group, what is clear to me is that the lack of a dominant culture driven by purpose through the use of a mission and vision is missing in this organization. Author Donald Baack describes a strong culture when he states, “A company with a strong culture employs members who intensely hold and readily share the organization’s core values” (Baack, 2012). In the case of the church I’m working with, it survives with a weak culture largely based on the structure of the church that has been handed down over generations. However, providing a purpose to the organization may help deliver a dominant culture that offers parishioners stronger core values to hold on too.

In my example of the church I’m working with, diversity plays a large role in a number of aspects. For example, the church is currently looking for members to nominate for next year’s church council. The committee performing this task is looking at things like gender and age that will allow a council to make decisions based on a broad perspective. I embrace what the church nominating committee is looking to achieve because diversity in any organization is important for organizational growth.

Section 8.1 Leadership and Organizational Culture
Introduction
Seth Goldman could be described as a “thirsty” man. As a college student, he became frus-
trated with the products available on the market to quench a person’s thirst. Some had too
much sugar, some had too much water, and others had weak flavors. He shared his disillusion
with his professor at the Yale School of Management, Barry Natebuff, in a class discussion
about major soft drink products in 1988.
In 1997, Goldman was playing with different beverage combinations when he became deter-
mined to create a new product ideal for rehydrating and quenching thirst. He reconnected
with Natebuff, who had recently traveled to India and discovered that many bottled tea prod-
ucts were brewed from the dust and fannings left over from whole tea leaves that had been
designated for other uses. The two joined forces and started brewing Honest Tea from whole
leaves.
After a successful start-up sale to Fresh Fields (Whole Foods Market), the company was
launched. A strong, ethically driven culture has always been at the forefront of the firm’s oper-
ation. The mission statement states: “Honest Tea seeks to create and promote great-tasting,
healthier, organic beverages. We strive to grow our business with the same honesty and integ-
rity we use to craft our products, with sustainability and great taste for all.”
The mission represents more than words. The firm has been well known for seeking out sup-
pliers of flavors and other items from impoverished areas, thereby helping low-income farm-
ers, even in remote locations, build thriving businesses. Since .
Creating Corporate Culture
This document discusses creating and diagnosing organizational culture. It begins by defining organizational culture as the shared assumptions and beliefs that influence how an organization functions. Leaders play a key role in shaping culture through what they emphasize, reward, and role model. The document outlines different types of organizational cultures and how culture impacts decision-making and performance. It provides methods for diagnosing an organization's existing culture and introduces strategies leaders can use to establish and reinforce a new culture.
Downsizing And Organizational Culture
The document discusses organizational culture and downsizing. It begins by defining organizational culture and downsizing. There are many variations in how downsizing can be implemented, from involuntary reductions to resignation incentives, and this makes it difficult to draw a direct link between downsizing and organizational culture. Organizational culture is influenced by many factors within an organization.
Health & Safety Conf Culture Change
The document discusses culture change and transformation within an organization. It defines culture as shared beliefs, values and assumptions of a group. It identifies three levels of culture - artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. True culture transformation requires changes to the group's basic assumptions. The process involves unfreezing old assumptions, learning new concepts, and refreezing with internalized new assumptions. Elements of a successful culture transformation include defining goals, identifying restraining current cultural aspects, determining an ideal future state, creating a change plan, and engaging people through cultural change teams in an ongoing looped process.

It explores how cultures are formed and exist at various levels, from macro to micro. The document discusses how leadership plays a key role in both defining and shifting organizational culture. It analyzes theories of organizational culture and models for creating culture change, such as Lewin's three-step model of unfreezing, moving to a new level, and refreezing. The author seeks to understand the culture of their own organization, a medical radiography program, in order to strategically create a culture shift through leadership.

The document discusses the costs organizations may incur due to a lack of cultural diversity in the workforce. It identifies social costs like increased intolerance and perpetuation of stereotypes. Economical costs include missing opportunities in diverse markets and difficulties expanding business internationally. Opportunity costs relate to lost creativity from a lack of diverse perspectives and understanding of other cultures. Promoting cultural diversity yields benefits like new ideas, tolerance, and insights into diverse customer markets that help organizations succeed globally.

This document discusses organizational behavior, culture, and development. It defines organizational behavior as looking at how structures, groups, and individuals impact behavior within an organization. Organizational culture refers to the collective behaviors and values that are shared within an organization. The author aims to understand the current culture of the Medical Radiography Program at their university in order to potentially create a culture shift. They conducted surveys of students and faculty and are working with a new administrative team to analyze the culture and determine how to influence behaviors and potentially change the culture. The document reviews various theories about organizational culture and attributes that define an organization's culture.
chapter 16
This document discusses organizational culture and how it develops and is sustained within organizations. It defines organizational culture as shared meanings represented through patterns of beliefs, symbols, rituals and practices. A dominant culture expresses core values shared by most members, while subcultures can form around common experiences. A strong culture is characterized by intensely held and widely shared core values that align with strategy, environment and technology to increase effectiveness. Culture acts as a substitute for formal controls by influencing employee behavior. Founders and top management impact culture through actions and decisions, while socialization and learning through stories, rituals, symbols and language transmit culture to new employees over time.
Toyota Organizational Culture
Toyota has a strong organizational culture that is focused on streamlining work processes and creating autonomous business units. The company recently restructured into nine product- and region-based business units to improve competitiveness and encourage learning across divisions. This new structure gives each business unit more control over operations and makes them less dependent on separate functional areas. Toyota believes this approach will significantly improve value creation through competition and knowledge-sharing among the autonomous units.

Discussion Board 4: Chapter 10 Question· Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning.
In 1980s, an American management professor named Edgar Schein developed an organizational culture model to define and reveal organizational culture as a powerful force in an organization (Hogan & Coote, 2014). Schein (1995) considered organizational culture as a set of assumptions that are a social force in a company. This social force is largely unseen yet extremely powerful (Hogan & Coote, 2014).
Daft (2016) describes culture as a “set of values, norms, guiding beliefs, and understandings that is shared by members of an organization and taught to new members as the correct way to think, feel, and behave (p. 386). Organizational culture is the intangible, informal, social behavior of the organization. Organizational culture is reflected in the image, inner dealings, and interactions with outside organizations and customers, and expectations. Although employees may come from different social backgrounds and have different education and experience levels, the organizational culture binds and shapes the organization. It is the written and unwritten rules and the shared attitudes, beliefs, customs of the employees and impacts the efficiency and performance of the organization. Organizational culture is evident in the following ways:
(1) the ways the organization conducts its business, treats its employees, customers, and the wider community,
(2) the extent to which freedom is allowed in decision making, developing new ideas, and personal expression,
(3) how power and information flow through its hierarchy, and
(4) how committed employees are towards collective objectives. (“Organizational Culture,” 2018, para. 1)
Organizational culture significantly influences innovation, change, effectiveness, and, ultimately company success.
Organizational culture is viewed at two levels: observable and underlying. The observable level are the visible, surface elements of the organization. At this level, external parties are able to view the symbols, ceremonies, stories, behaviors, dress, and physical setting of the organization (Daft, 2016). At the observable level, behavior patterns and outward manifestations of culture can be seen and heard. Artifacts, logos, slogans are typically used by organizations to portray to company’s values to the external public.
At the unseen, underlying level of organizational culture, the deeper values, assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, and feelings of the organizational members are unconsciously at work defining the culture (D.

nsions have been made, and some preliminary support for the above hypotheses has been forthcoming (Feldman, 1976, 1988; G. R. Jones, 1986). Insofar as cultural evolution is a function of innovative and creative efforts on the part of new members, this line of investigation is especially important. Cultural Dynamics: Natural Evolution Every group and organization is an open system that exists in multiple environments. Changes in the environment will produce stresses and strains inside the group, forcing new learning and adaptation. At the same time, new members coming into the group will bring in new beliefs and assumptions that will influence currently held as- sumptions. To some degree, then, there is constant pres- sure on any given culture to evolve and grow. But just as individuals do not easily give up the elements of their identity or their defense mechanisms, so groups do not easily give up some of their basic underlying assumptions merely because external events or new members discon- firm them. An illustration of "forced" evolution can be seen in the case of the aerospace company that prided itself on its high level of trust in its employees, which was reflected in flexible working hours, systems of self-monitoring and self-control, and the absence of time clocks. When a number of other companies in the industry were discov- ered to have overcharged their government clients, the government legislated a system of controls for all of its contractors, forcing this company to install time clocks and other control mechanisms that undermined the cli- mate of trust that had been built up over 30 years. It remains to be seen whether the company's basic assump- tion that people can be trusted will gradually change or whether the company will find a way to discount the el- 116 February 1990 • American Psychologist

Organization culture and climate
Cross-cultural organizational behavior is the study of how culture relates to behaviors and processes in organizations across cultures. It examines phenomena at the individual, group, and organizational levels and how they interact across cultures. Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management. Hofstede's model of culture identifies factors like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance that influence organizational culture and employee behaviors differently across cultures. Managing cross-cultural challenges requires understanding different communication styles, cultural values, and effective cross-cultural communication strategies.

This document discusses organizational culture and its impact on creativity and innovation. It defines culture as shared values, beliefs, and behavioral norms that are learned by organizational members. Certain cultural norms like idea generation, risk-taking and tolerance of mistakes promote creativity, while others like teamwork and flexibility support innovation implementation. Strong cultures can help drive innovation if they foster these types of norms and allow for social cohesion, but not if they overly demand conformity. In summary, an organization's culture plays a key role in shaping its creative processes.

Macy's organizational culture is built around excellent customer service. The company's culture can be observed through three levels - observable artifacts, espoused values, and enacted values. Observable artifacts include employee name tags noting years of service and the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Espoused values that are explicitly stated include community involvement through various nonprofit partnerships. Enacted values exhibited by employees include the "Magic Selling" technique used by sales associates to make each customer feel individually valued. The alignment of these three levels of culture helps define Macy's culture and provides clarity for employees.

CASE STUDY
Select a significant event or a situation in a developing country setting that you have observed e.g. through the media or read about; and identify a prominent response to that event or situation, which you observed or read about. Note that the event or situation might include, for example, an emergency, security threat, development crisis, social or political unrest, discovery of valuable natural resources, among others. These are just a few examples.
The case study should address the following points:
o Assess the event or situation, the key issues involved and the impact on the society
o Discuss the key goals and results sought by the society in this situation
o Determine whether and how a leader emerged in that context and what factors demonstrated this
o Analyze the leadership process outlining the following:
▪ Whose ideas shaped the responses to the situation. ▪ What evidence supported these ideas and how were they received by the society? ▪ The nature of the relationship between emergent leaders and the rest of the group or society ▪ Who provided guidance toward the defined goal(s)? ▪ What leadership qualities were useful in that situation?
o What outcomes were produced from the responses to that situation? Were these outcomes consistent with the goals initially expressed by that society?
o Did this event or situation and the response to it produce a new situation?
o Would you say that the society was better or worse off as a result of the responses to this event or situation?
o What overall conclusions can you draw from this experience about leadership and the leadership process?
Diversity at Workplace
The issue of workplace diversity has been at the center of battles and conflicts at many companies when doing recruitment. Some organizations believe that diversity is achieved by simply meeting the necessary proportions for the gender and race of the employees. However, there is more to this issue than meets the eye. Companies need to know that diversity at places of work is a multifaceted subject and needs the attention and comprehensiveness that it deserves. True diversity in most organizations has been a challenge to realize since many companies feel that they are good to go once they have a given number of employees from a certain gender, race, or religion.
Misconceptions about workplace diversity: what it is and what it is not
Diversity at places of work cannot be complete if there is no respect, acceptance, and collaboration regardless of the differences in gender, race, religion, political beliefs, native language, styles of communication, or sexual orientation among workers. Unfortunately, many organizations think that they have embraced diversity once they have employed people from different ethnicities, religious backgrounds, nationalities, races, sexual orientations, and gender. It should be understood that while this is a good step, it is just one of the ma ...
ten things (april 2012)
Diversity means difference, and difference takes many forms including identity, cognitive, affective, and behavioral diversity. Diversity is relational and exists between people, not within individuals. When difference is included through inclusion, it generates change and is a catalyst. However, inclusion requires sharing power dialogically and being willing to accommodate difference. When done effectively, inclusion can foster creativity, activism, and provide value through competitive advantage and innovation.
Organizational Culture Change
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.
Discuss ONE risk that a company faces when trying to diversify inte.pdf
Discuss ONE risk that a company faces when trying to diversify internationally. Provide
examples, and also discuss how this risk can be mitigated
Solution
One very significant risk that a Company faces when trying to diversify internationally is the
cultural risk because there are certain Dominant cultures that express the core values that are
shared by a majority of the organization’s members while there are also certain subcultures
which could be regarded as the minicultures within an organization, typically defined by
department designations and geographical separation. Hence in terms of implications, both these
cultures impact the tolerance level of the people belonging to different cultures in a major way.
Here, it is a rare ability to bridge such a perception gap which has already been rooted down into
the beliefs of the people hailing from different culture. Further, the National culture has all more
greater impact than the Organizational culture on the minds of the people. In certain culture,
there is a facilitation of commitment to something larger than self-interest that enhances the
stability of the social system. However, it may not get along well with that of the other cultures
where social commitment does not form an intrinsic part of the culture. This is where the
ideologies clashes between the cultures and there arises the challenge of tolerance. Here, if the
leaders are not intellectually brilliant, the diversity management issue will fail. Further, when the
Company goes international, the diversified team ethical issues are more critical to barriers to
change and diversity which also comes in the way of welcoming or accepting another culture in
harmony with that of one culture. The gestures and cultural characteristics are one culture may
be complete inverse from that of the other, which may again pose as a barrier to tolerate other
cultures. Some cultures are liberal while some are way too conservative hence arises the issue of
tolerance to other cultures. Hence despite investing in multicultural teams training, some

Benefits and Drawbacks of Organizational Diversity
An organization will have many needs in order to work at its peak performance. Part of this process is
understanding the organizational culture as well as that of individuals, groups, and teams and how they
interact socially. In order for there to be a sense of unity, there should be an understanding of what it takes for
individuals who have their own unique differences to accept others or at least find a way to interact and
collaborate (Shen, Chanda, D’Netto, & Monga, 2009). This does not mean forcing someone to accept or
adopt someone else’s beliefs and heritage as his or her own. Gaining understanding to appreciate these
unique backgrounds and characteristics provides a broader comprehension that can assist in facilitating
improved innovation and outcomes.
The organization and its components can continually improve through gaining this greater understanding of
the different cultures and backgrounds of its individual members. Along with this can be issues of time
relevance in addition to the value placed on interaction, relationships, and work completed. How work is
completed and under what conditions can also be a part of our diversity (Bell, 2017). An individual who is very
self-focused and time-conscious will have challenges in working with an individual or team members who do
not have the same time relevance and do not hold the same value for individual achievement. An individual

1) Organizational culture refers to the shared assumptions, values, and beliefs that influence behavior within an organization. It is an important but often invisible aspect of an organization.
2) There are three levels of organizational culture - surface level artifacts, deeper values, and unconscious basic assumptions. Understanding an organization's culture involves analyzing all three levels.
3) A commonly used framework identifies seven dimensions that characterize organizational culture, including innovative, aggressive, outcome-oriented, and stable cultures. Understanding these dimensions can help analyze and manage an organization's culture.DISCUSSIONDiscuss how Platos four cardinal virtues might help m.docx

Discussion1 : Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.

The document discusses the costs organizations may incur due to a lack of cultural diversity in the workforce. It identifies social costs like increased intolerance and perpetuation of stereotypes. Economical costs include missing opportunities in diverse markets and difficulties expanding business internationally. Opportunity costs relate to lost creativity from a lack of diverse perspectives and understanding of other cultures. Promoting cultural diversity yields benefits like new ideas, tolerance, and insights into diverse customer markets that help organizations succeed globally.
3 c organizational behavior, development, culture paper final
This document discusses organizational behavior, culture, and development. It defines organizational behavior as looking at how structures, groups, and individuals impact behavior within an organization. Organizational culture refers to the collective behaviors and values that are shared within an organization. The author aims to understand the current culture of the Medical Radiography Program at their university in order to potentially create a culture shift. They conducted surveys of students and faculty and are working with a new administrative team to analyze the culture and determine how to influence behaviors and potentially change the culture. The document reviews various theories about organizational culture and attributes that define an organization's culture.
chapter 16
This document discusses organizational culture and how it develops and is sustained within organizations. It defines organizational culture as shared meanings represented through patterns of beliefs, symbols, rituals and practices. A dominant culture expresses core values shared by most members, while subcultures can form around common experiences. A strong culture is characterized by intensely held and widely shared core values that align with strategy, environment and technology to increase effectiveness. Culture acts as a substitute for formal controls by influencing employee behavior. Founders and top management impact culture through actions and decisions, while socialization and learning through stories, rituals, symbols and language transmit culture to new employees over time.
Toyota Organizational Culture
Toyota has a strong organizational culture that is focused on streamlining work processes and creating autonomous business units. The company recently restructured into nine product- and region-based business units to improve competitiveness and encourage learning across divisions. This new structure gives each business unit more control over operations and makes them less dependent on separate functional areas. Toyota believes this approach will significantly improve value creation through competition and knowledge-sharing among the autonomous units.

discussion Board 4 6Discussion Board 4: Chapter 10 Question
Discussion Board 4: Chapter 10 Question· Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your reasoning.
In 1980s, an American management professor named Edgar Schein developed an organizational culture model to define and reveal organizational culture as a powerful force in an organization (Hogan & Coote, 2014). Schein (1995) considered organizational culture as a set of assumptions that are a social force in a company. This social force is largely unseen yet extremely powerful (Hogan & Coote, 2014).
Daft (2016) describes culture as a “set of values, norms, guiding beliefs, and understandings that is shared by members of an organization and taught to new members as the correct way to think, feel, and behave (p. 386). Organizational culture is the intangible, informal, social behavior of the organization. Organizational culture is reflected in the image, inner dealings, and interactions with outside organizations and customers, and expectations. Although employees may come from different social backgrounds and have different education and experience levels, the organizational culture binds and shapes the organization. It is the written and unwritten rules and the shared attitudes, beliefs, customs of the employees and impacts the efficiency and performance of the organization. Organizational culture is evident in the following ways:
(1) the ways the organization conducts its business, treats its employees, customers, and the wider community,
(2) the extent to which freedom is allowed in decision making, developing new ideas, and personal expression,
(3) how power and information flow through its hierarchy, and
(4) how committed employees are towards collective objectives. (“Organizational Culture,” 2018, para. 1)
Organizational culture significantly influences innovation, change, effectiveness, and, ultimately company success.
Organizational culture is viewed at two levels: observable and underlying. The observable level are the visible, surface elements of the organization. At this level, external parties are able to view the symbols, ceremonies, stories, behaviors, dress, and physical setting of the organization (Daft, 2016). At the observable level, behavior patterns and outward manifestations of culture can be seen and heard. Artifacts, logos, slogans are typically used by organizations to portray to company’s values to the external public.
At the unseen, underlying level of organizational culture, the deeper values, assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, and feelings of the organizational members are unconsciously at work defining the culture (D.

nsions have been made, and some preliminary support for the above hypotheses has been forthcoming (Feldman, 1976, 1988; G. R. Jones, 1986). Insofar as cultural evolution is a function of innovative and creative efforts on the part of new members, this line of investigation is especially important. Cultural Dynamics: Natural Evolution Every group and organization is an open system that exists in multiple environments. Changes in the environment will produce stresses and strains inside the group, forcing new learning and adaptation. At the same time, new members coming into the group will bring in new beliefs and assumptions that will influence currently held as- sumptions. To some degree, then, there is constant pres- sure on any given culture to evolve and grow. But just as individuals do not easily give up the elements of their identity or their defense mechanisms, so groups do not easily give up some of their basic underlying assumptions merely because external events or new members discon- firm them. An illustration of "forced" evolution can be seen in the case of the aerospace company that prided itself on its high level of trust in its employees, which was reflected in flexible working hours, systems of self-monitoring and self-control, and the absence of time clocks. When a number of other companies in the industry were discov- ered to have overcharged their government clients, the government legislated a system of controls for all of its contractors, forcing this company to install time clocks and other control mechanisms that undermined the cli- mate of trust that had been built up over 30 years. It remains to be seen whether the company's basic assump- tion that people can be trusted will gradually change or whether the company will find a way to discount the el- 116 February 1990 • American Psychologist

Organization culture and climate
Cross-cultural organizational behavior is the study of how culture relates to behaviors and processes in organizations across cultures. It examines phenomena at the individual, group, and organizational levels and how they interact across cultures. Understanding cultural differences is important for effective cross-cultural communication and management. Hofstede's model of culture identifies factors like power distance, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance that influence organizational culture and employee behaviors differently across cultures. Managing cross-cultural challenges requires understanding different communication styles, cultural values, and effective cross-cultural communication strategies.

This document discusses organizational culture and its impact on creativity and innovation. It defines culture as shared values, beliefs, and behavioral norms that are learned by organizational members. Certain cultural norms like idea generation, risk-taking and tolerance of mistakes promote creativity, while others like teamwork and flexibility support innovation implementation. Strong cultures can help drive innovation if they foster these types of norms and allow for social cohesion, but not if they overly demand conformity. In summary, an organization's culture plays a key role in shaping its creative processes.

Macy's organizational culture is built around excellent customer service. The company's culture can be observed through three levels - observable artifacts, espoused values, and enacted values. Observable artifacts include employee name tags noting years of service and the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Espoused values that are explicitly stated include community involvement through various nonprofit partnerships. Enacted values exhibited by employees include the "Magic Selling" technique used by sales associates to make each customer feel individually valued. The alignment of these three levels of culture helps define Macy's culture and provides clarity for employees.

CASE STUDY
Select a significant event or a situation in a developing country setting that you have observed e.g. through the media or read about; and identify a prominent response to that event or situation, which you observed or read about. Note that the event or situation might include, for example, an emergency, security threat, development crisis, social or political unrest, discovery of valuable natural resources, among others. These are just a few examples.
The case study should address the following points:
o Assess the event or situation, the key issues involved and the impact on the society
o Discuss the key goals and results sought by the society in this situation
o Determine whether and how a leader emerged in that context and what factors demonstrated this
o Analyze the leadership process outlining the following:
▪ Whose ideas shaped the responses to the situation. ▪ What evidence supported these ideas and how were they received by the society? ▪ The nature of the relationship between emergent leaders and the rest of the group or society ▪ Who provided guidance toward the defined goal(s)? ▪ What leadership qualities were useful in that situation?
o What outcomes were produced from the responses to that situation? Were these outcomes consistent with the goals initially expressed by that society?
o Did this event or situation and the response to it produce a new situation?
o Would you say that the society was better or worse off as a result of the responses to this event or situation?
o What overall conclusions can you draw from this experience about leadership and the leadership process?
Diversity at Workplace
The issue of workplace diversity has been at the center of battles and conflicts at many companies when doing recruitment. Some organizations believe that diversity is achieved by simply meeting the necessary proportions for the gender and race of the employees. However, there is more to this issue than meets the eye. Companies need to know that diversity at places of work is a multifaceted subject and needs the attention and comprehensiveness that it deserves. True diversity in most organizations has been a challenge to realize since many companies feel that they are good to go once they have a given number of employees from a certain gender, race, or religion.
Misconceptions about workplace diversity: what it is and what it is not
Diversity at places of work cannot be complete if there is no respect, acceptance, and collaboration regardless of the differences in gender, race, religion, political beliefs, native language, styles of communication, or sexual orientation among workers. Unfortunately, many organizations think that they have embraced diversity once they have employed people from different ethnicities, religious backgrounds, nationalities, races, sexual orientations, and gender. It should be understood that while this is a good step, it is just one of the ma ...
ten things (april 2012)
Diversity means difference, and difference takes many forms including identity, cognitive, affective, and behavioral diversity. Diversity is relational and exists between people, not within individuals. When difference is included through inclusion, it generates change and is a catalyst. However, inclusion requires sharing power dialogically and being willing to accommodate difference. When done effectively, inclusion can foster creativity, activism, and provide value through competitive advantage and innovation.
Organizational Culture Change
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.
Discuss ONE risk that a company faces when trying to diversify inte.pdf
Discuss ONE risk that a company faces when trying to diversify internationally. Provide
examples, and also discuss how this risk can be mitigated
Solution
One very significant risk that a Company faces when trying to diversify internationally is the
cultural risk because there are certain Dominant cultures that express the core values that are
shared by a majority of the organization’s members while there are also certain subcultures
which could be regarded as the minicultures within an organization, typically defined by
department designations and geographical separation. Hence in terms of implications, both these
cultures impact the tolerance level of the people belonging to different cultures in a major way.
Here, it is a rare ability to bridge such a perception gap which has already been rooted down into
the beliefs of the people hailing from different culture. Further, the National culture has all more
greater impact than the Organizational culture on the minds of the people. In certain culture,
there is a facilitation of commitment to something larger than self-interest that enhances the
stability of the social system. However, it may not get along well with that of the other cultures
where social commitment does not form an intrinsic part of the culture. This is where the
ideologies clashes between the cultures and there arises the challenge of tolerance. Here, if the
leaders are not intellectually brilliant, the diversity management issue will fail. Further, when the
Company goes international, the diversified team ethical issues are more critical to barriers to
change and diversity which also comes in the way of welcoming or accepting another culture in
harmony with that of one culture. The gestures and cultural characteristics are one culture may
be complete inverse from that of the other, which may again pose as a barrier to tolerate other
cultures. Some cultures are liberal while some are way too conservative hence arises the issue of
tolerance to other cultures. Hence despite investing in multicultural teams training, some
alliances still fail. If the leaders are not intellectually brilliant, they would find it difficult to
manage these barriers because their own culture has not taught to see the other cultures in such
details hence this intellect needs to be cultivated as well.
Usually the Companies fail in persuading and controlling people when the Company diversifies
because of the faulty applications of the management theories due to:
Therefore, in order to mitigate the same, one needs to understand the behavior of the employees
working at some other international location and thereby attempting to create a more efficient
organization on the basis of such a study. This strategy could help in applying various scientific
theories to study these individuals working in a Corporate set-up in order to optimize the

You then examine a workflow model that is meant to reflect that process and analyze the model’s accuracy based on the information in the case study. You also analyze the importance of accurate workflow modeling and consider strategies for creating accurate workflow models for health care processes.
Case Study:
Deerborne Dialysis is a local dialysis clinic that is part of a larger health care network, Buckeye Health. Buckeye Health executives have recently been examining the processes by which organizations within the network manage their supplies. Deerborne Dialysis was identified as an exemplary model of efficient supply management, and Buckeye Health executives have requested a workflow model of how Deerborne Dialysis handles their supply management process.
Sharon is the nurse who oversees the process of ordering and stocking supplies for Deerborne Dialysis. She knows the process well and developed a description of the steps in the supply management process. First, Sharon conducts a daily check of the supplies in the storage room. If there is a supply that is running low, Sharon submits an order to the medical supplier. When the clinic receives the shipment, Sharon unpacks the shipment and cross-checks the supplies that were shipped with the supplies that were ordered. If there is a discrepancy, the entire shipment must be returned to the medical supplier, who then rushes a new shipment to the clinic to be received the next day. If there is no discrepancy, or once the new shipment is received, unpacked, and cross-checked, Sharon stocks the shelves in the storage room and gives the supply bill to the clinic’s accountant, who ensures that the medical supplier receives payment.
Sharon has created the following workflow model to reflect the steps she goes through to manage the clinic’s inventory of supplies:
To prepare:
Review the case study above and examine the workflow model that is meant to reflect the process described in the case study.
Identify problems with the workflow model. How could the model be revised to be more accurate, clear, and effective?
Reflect on the importance of creating an accurate workflow model of health care processes. What are the challenges involved in workflow modeling? What are the consequences of inaccurate workflow models?
Consider strategies that you can use to ensure that workflow models are effective and accurate.
With these thoughts in mind:

Discussion 1: Title Protection and Licensure
When one pictures a doctor sitting at her office desk, it seems natural to imagine multiple diplomas on the wall nearby. The notion of doctors displaying their credentials seems indisputable when one considers the importance of professional credibility in instilling trust in patients.
Just as medical practitioners are responsible for achieving and maintaining proper licensure, so are social work professionals. Those who receive the title of “social worker” have met the criteria developed to demonstrate proficiency in meeting the demands associated with the profession.
For this Discussion, research the criteria for assuming the title of social worker in your state or country. Consider benefits offered by title protection and maintenance of licensure standards. Also think Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr. (2012).
Understanding generalist practice
(6th ed.). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning.
Chapter 3, “Practice Skills for Working with Groups” (pp. 94-126)
about the challenges that title protection and licensure standards may pose.
Post by Day 3
a description of strengths and challenges associated with title protection and licensure. Describe two strengths and two Although students of social work have not yet satisfied the criteria to earn the title of “social worker,” they are bound by the same ethical requirements as titled social workers. Social workers regularly face ethical issues of varying magnitude, and social work students may as well. Some issues seem obvious, while others may emerge in subtle ways.
For this Discussion, select one of the following scenarios. Consider the dilemma described, and imagine how you might feel if you found yourself in a similar situation. Think about the ethical obligations you would have as a social worker or social work student.
Scenario 1
You are a social worker in a public health department providing services to pregnant women. As part of your duties, you provide parenting education, support, and connection to community resources, and you follow up with the families and their newborns for six months after birth. Ms. C has been a client of yours during two pregnancies in the last three years. She has a 15 year-old, a nine year-old, a three year-old, and a newborn. On this day, you are making a routine visit to Ms. C, who lives in an older mobile hom.
Discussion Social Work CompetenceThe term competence connotes.docx
Discussion: Social Work Competence
The term
competence
connotes a level of preparedness for addressing issues and maintaining a high standard of practice with clients. Competent social workers have completed adequate preparations for licensure, and they are appropriately credentialed. They adhere to ethical practices by maintaining professional boundaries and honoring commitments to confidentiality. How might you demonstrate your competence as a social worker? How can you recognize competence in other social workers?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Readings. Think about elements in the articles that denote competence.
Post a description of at least two criteria that define competence in social work.
Give an example of each criterion of competence and justify your selection.

Discussion The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Infor.docx
Discussion: The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Informaticist
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a model for planning and implementing change within an organization. It is important for many individuals to be represented in the process, especially the end users of the system or the employees who must live with the change. As informatics become more and more widespread throughout the health care field, collaboration between information technology (IT) professionals and health care practitioners is becoming increasingly important. The nurse informaticist is able to combine the perspective of the information technology side with the clinical nursing perspective.
While the titles and specific responsibilities of nurse informaticists vary across organizations and practice settings, the fundamental purpose of the role remains the same. Nurse informaticists synthesize their knowledge of how technology can improve health care with an understanding of clinical practice and workflow. This is why nurse informaticists can be instrumental in facilitating the SDLC for informatics in health care. For this Discussion, you examine the relationship between the nurse informaticist and the use of the SDLC.
To prepare:
Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources on the SDLC and the role of the nurse informaticist. Reflect on Chapter 1 of the Dennis, Wixom, and Roth course text and consider how the information about the systems analyst role translates into nursing and health care.
Consider a recent change in your organization related to the implementation of a new technology or system. How was this change handled? What was the general SDLC process? Who was involved, and what were the outcomes?
Identify whether your organization (or one with which you are familiar) has a formal title or position for the nurse informaticist. This position may be called by a different name, such as nurse informatics specialist or informatics analyst, so be sure to review the position description.
If your organization has a position for the nurse informaticist, what are the responsibilities of that position? If your organization does not have such a position, conduct research in the Walden Library and at credible online sources on the role of the nurse informaticist.
Reflect on the role of the nurse informaticist in the overall health care field. How is this position connected to the SDLC? Assess the benefits of having this specialized position within health care organizations and involving the nurse informaticist in the SDLC.
Post by tomorrow 8/30/16 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list provided under Required Readings. Apply the level 1 headings as numbered below:
1) A description of how the systems development life cycle is utilized in your organization (Hospital), or in one with which you are familiar, and assess its effectiveness.

Discussion QuestionWomen have a long history of being considered i.docx
Discussion Question
Women have a long history of being considered inferior to men. However, during the middle to the late 20th century, the women’s rights movement began to improve the plight of women in Western society by granting them access to societal positions previously held only by men.
Some people claim that women have finally achieved equality with men in the 21st century; others are not convinced.
How will you describe the status of equality between men and women in contemporary Western culture?
Do you see any major areas where women are still discriminated against on a large scale? If so, give at least two examples. If not, rationalize your views.

Discussion Respiratory AlterationsIn clinical settings, patients .docx
Discussion: Respiratory Alterations
In clinical settings, patients often present with various respiratory symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and wheezing. While identifying a symptom’s underlying illness can be challenging, it is essential because even basic symptoms such as persistent coughing can be a sign of a more severe disorder. Advanced practice nurses must be able to differentiate between moderate and severe respiratory disorders, as well as properly diagnose and prescribe treatment for their patients. For this reason, you must have an understanding of the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders.
Consider the following three scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Ms. Teel brings in her 7-month-old infant for evaluation. She is afraid that the baby might have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) because she seems to be coughing a lot, and Ms. Teel heard that RSV is a common condition for infants. A detailed patient history reveals that the infant has been coughing consistently for several months. It’s never seemed all that bad. Ms. Teel thought it was just a normal thing, but then she read about RSV. Closer evaluation indicates that the infant coughs mostly at night; and, in fact, most nights the baby coughs to some extent. Additionally, Ms. Teel confirms that the infant seems to cough more when she cries. Physical examination reveals an apparently healthy age- and weight-appropriate, 7-month-old infant with breath sounds that are clear to auscultation. The infant’s medical history is significant only for eczema that was actually quite bad a few months back. Otherwise, the only remarkable history is an allergic reaction to amoxicillin that she experienced 3 months ago when she had an ear infection.
Scenario 2:
Kevin is a 6-year-old boy who is brought in for evaluation by his parents. The parents are concerned that he has a really deep cough that he just can’t seem to get over. The history reveals that he was in his usual state of good health until approximately 1 week ago when he developed a profound cough. His parents say that it is deep and sounds like he is barking. He coughs so hard that sometimes he actually vomits. The cough is productive for mucus, but there is no blood in it. Kevin has had a low-grade temperature but nothing really high. His parents do not have a thermometer and don’t know for sure how high it got. His past medical history is negative. He has never had childhood asthma or RSV. His mother says that they moved around a lot in his first 2 years and she is not sure that his immunizations are up to date. She does not have a current vaccination record.
Scenario 3:
Maria is a 36-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke. She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately 3 weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-produci.
Discussion Racism and PrivilegeIn many societies certain groups p.docx
Discussion: Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.
To prepare: Review the case study "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary."
Post by Day 3
an explanation of the relationship between racism and privilege. Furthermore, explain how the concepts of racism and privilege relate to "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary." Explain the impact of racism and privilege on social work practice. Provide recommendations for how you as a social worker might use an empowerment perspective when responding to Mary. Be specific and provide examples from the case. Also, identify specific skills social workers might employ.

Discussion QuestionsUser-interface design techniques and human-com.docx
Discussion Questions
User-interface design techniques and human-computer interaction (HCI) evolved from studies of human interaction with machines. The field of human factors was first associated with engineering, as engineers designed machines. However, engineers used precise specifications and predictable behavior and often found the human factor frustrating. Dialogs are used to define a menu hierarchy that allows the user to navigate to each dialog. Each dialog is based on a use case documented early during the inception phase that is classified as requiring a user interface. Discuss the following questions:
What are dialog designs?
Within an iteration, can analysis and design activities occur simultaneously?
Why or why not?
How does a developer know when to do analysis and when to do design?
The definition of interface design standards states that “general principles and rules must be followed….”
Do user interface design standards restrict creativity?
Many researchers create analysis and design techniques that place the user interface at the center of the development process because they recognize the importance of the user interface to system developers and users alike. Complete the following assignment:

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. Respond to... Every organization will naturally develop a dominant culture and likely a subculture as the organization grows. First, an organization will have a dominant culture. A dominant culture within an organization is the core values that a majority of the members share (Baack, 2012). As the organization gets larger, it is likely a subculture will develop. A subculture is a smaller group within the organization that aligns values in terms of shared problems, situations, or experiences (Baack, 2012). Often times the dominant culture and subcultures will work together to drive the organization’s overall core values. While there may be exceptions to this that management must monitor for, often times the two cultures will work together to drive the personality of the organization (Baack, 2012). It is important for an organization to have an understanding of how these cultures affect the overall function of the company. These cultures make the organization distinct, create a sense of identity, build the social system, and drive inclusion (Baack, 2012). When there is a positive culture, there are also many additional benefits. The successful implementation of a positive culture will lead to stability, employee self-management, and a comfortable and secure workplace (Baack, 2012). The organization that I work for has a culture that focuses on the importance of inclusion and embracing diversity. This focus on a need to accept others regardless of their differences drives a culture that understands diversity. In order to accept and welcome others, one needs to understand and respect diversity. While the group that I work with has a dominant culture, there is also a subculture. Regardless of the situation, both groups are able to voice and share their opinions and thoughts in relation to a topic. Those beliefs are appreciated and as a group, we decide on what the best outcome for the specific situation will
