1.1 Analyse culture in an organisation Organisational culture are the values, attitudes and practices that contribute to the “unique social and psychological environment” within a business, or organisation (“organizational culture” 2016). Needle (2004) notes that this is a complex process of creating collective values through shared history, understanding of market, hiring and firing of employees, management style, vision, norms, systems, symbols, language use, beliefs and habits. This allows for a set of shared assumptions, which increase the sense of teamwork, and establishes the pattern of collective behaviours and behavioural expectations within an organisation (Ravasi and Schultz, 2006).

Introduction

Changing a mindset is extremely difficult, especially for a person who is juggling all of the commitments of a busy life—a full-time job, family obligations, showing up for social occasions, and the like. It seems to be simple human nature to go along in life making incremental changes, but never really examining the underlying assumptions that our days are based upon. Entrepreneurs may have certain character attributes that give them the capacity to distance themselves from the urgent—what to wear, who to hire, how to soothe the boss—to focus on the truly important—what is meaningful, ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things.

Introduction

If any organisation were to succeed in achieving its objectives and targets, it is at the mercy of the strategies that it develops for itself.

Plans should match what the company envisions for itself in the light of its finances and operations. Such plans work in the long run. The more changes occur in them, the more difficult it is for them to move ahead. Realistic yardsticks can be ...

Such factors in organisational culture are envisioned by the leaders, and primary stakeholders of an organisation, and shared with employees, thereby ensuring that the organisation’s members are on the same page. Moreover, a culture that promotes learning increases ...
