Document Summary

It frames and shapes the decisions that managers and other employees should make and the actions they should take: organizational culture consists of two main components: shared values and assumptions. Shared values: values, are stable, evaluative beliefs that guide our preferences for outcomes or courses of action in a variety of situations, they are conscious perceptions about what is good or bad, right or wrong. Values are socially desirable, so people create a positive public image by claiming to believe in values that others expect them to embrace: enacted values represent the values people actually rely on to guide their decisions and actions. These values in use are apparent by watching people in action. An organization"s culture consists of these enacted values, not espoused values.
