Week 1 Discussion
Describing Organizational Culture
What does organizational culture mean to you? Has it been an important factor when deciding where you want to work? Has the culture of an organization ever caused you to want to leave an organization? Or is it a term that has little meaning for you or that you have not seen evidence of in the real world?
In this Discussion, you will first describe and analyze the culture of an organization you know well, using the concepts and frameworks provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review this week’s Learning Resources, particularly the Lochner (2020, March 5) video and the Schorin and Wilberding (2020, January 21) readings.
Identify an organization with which you are very familiar—perhaps one where you currently work (or have previously worked). As you consider this organization, think about how you would describe the culture of this organization, being sure to identify specific examples to support your description and reflecting on how this culture did or did not help the organization achieve and sustain success.
By Day 3
Post an analysis of the culture of an organization you know well, to include the following:
Briefly (in 1–2 sentences) describe the organization you have selected.
Identify one or two examples from this organization for each of the three levels of culture described by Lochner (2020, March 5): what we see, what we say, and what we believe.
Next, indicate whether the organization’s internal and external cultures matched or were different, providing supporting examples.
Finally, compare the organization’s vision and values to its actual culture and explain how managerial behaviors did or did not deliberately help shape culture for organizational success.
Refer to the Week 1 Discussion Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this grading rubric to assess your work.
Important Note About Discussion Rubrics: In the peer-to-peer engagement section of the Discussion, the focus of your posts and responses should be to promote quality interaction with your colleagues and Instructor, to further the dialogue on the particular topic, to deepen your mutual understanding of concepts, and to draw out new ideas. Although you are encouraged to provide support for ideas you bring in from other sources, which is appropriate for discourse within a master’s-level classroom, emphasis is placed on the quality of the engagement as noted in the Discussion rubrics, with 40% of your score based on your level of engagement in the ongoing conversation with your colleagues.
