Organizational Culture Analysis

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 2: Organizational Culture and Diversity. Please use this text as your primary resource for this assignment.

Symbols of culture are called artifacts. Artifacts are the most visible and accessible level of culture. These include behaviors, stories, rituals (everyday practices that are repeated frequently), and symbols (e.g., company logos, company colors). For example, the president of a company volunteering at Habitat for Humanity is an artifact of culture. An example of symbols as an artifact of culture is the University of Arizona Global Campus’ shield that serves as the logo and is printed on transcripts, diplomas and letterhead paper.
