Through the report we will uncover how Corporate Culture is formed and how it affects the managers and employees of the organisation. Key elements that might affect corporate culture will be discussed and analysed in detail. Introduction to Organisational Culture Organisational Culture is a set of guidelines designed by the management to educate new employees and keep old employees aligned with the organisation’s goals. Corporate Culture is usually determined by the top management and briefed to the employees by the managers. The managers in turn need to become role models by practicing in theory and action the organizational values. The commitment in senior management to the culture is of utmost importance with rewards given out to employees who reinforce the organization’s values. However, Organizational Culture is like a double edged sword and can be used in time of need to deflect responsibilities from the higher management. A strong culture within the organisation will also downplay the importance of conflict among employees while protecting the decisions of the management.
