Organizational Analysis: Defining Your General Organizational Realities for the Case Study
This portion of the case study assignment will require you to apply the Cultural Theories lens to your organization. This enables you to make sense of the organization in a general way before turning to the specific problem within the organization which you identified in Case Study: Problem Proposal Assignment.
Lens Three: Reviewing the Culture Theories [VILLAGE]
Use the following questions to describe, in a summative-narrative fashion, what the culture of your organization looks like. Your summary is to be 3–5 pages, include 3–5 references (this can include your textbook), have a title and reference page, and be formatted according to current APA style (first person should not be used).
Describe the culture of your organization and whether culture differences exist within the various units of your organization.
How does your organization develop consensus on mission, tasks, and goals?
What is your role within the organization and how is this different from your actual job description? This section should be written from a neutral viewpoint much like a consultant would view it.
