| Tiivistelmä: | The organization culture concept must demonstrate its capacity for useful application in practice. A project was carried out in a large-scale public bureaucracy in Britain, British Rail, for which culture provided the conceptual focus of a strategy for change. It was found that language is the primary cultural form of any organization. Dysfunctional cultural modes of thinking were identified and labels ("isms") were used to facilitate the intervention process. In conclusion it is argued that the culture perspective can be used to develop novel insights into organizational problems, new directions for change, and appropriate strategic processes. |
