Organizational culture
While it may not be possible to define an ideal
culture or to prescribe how it can be developed, it
can at least be stated with confidence that embedded
cultures exert considerable influence on organiza-
tional behaviour and therefore performance. If there
is an appropriate and effective culture it is desirable
to take steps to support or reinforce it. If the culture
is inappropriate, attempts should be made to deter-
mine what needs to be changed and to develop and
implement plans for change (approaches to culture
management are described in Chapter 12). HR
innovations need to take account of the culture in
which they will operate. They are likely to fail if
they are countercultural.
