This case study will be view from eight different features before I shall discern the company’s culture, and these views are as follow:

Ever since then there has been bonuses as proposed by the management which at a time approximated the company’s annual wages. The incentive management plan circle on how to make their employees feel happy in other to increase individual productivity.

I will first of all like to define what performance appraisal is before relating it to Lincoln organization.

THE BONUS PLAN
When James Lincoln became the manager in 1914 almost 30 percent of the Lincoln’s stock was set aside for key employees and in 1925 a stock purchase plan for all employees began. Furthermore, since 1923 Lincoln company employee gets two weeks paid vacation each year.

In view of all these features, it is so evident that Lincoln Company has multiple cultures which are outcome-oriented and stable.
Lincoln Company is said to be stable because authority is centered at the top, anything the management agreed on is final. Though, the organization through incentives to employee dealt with a constant output which is one of the factors of a stable culture. This is clearly proven in the management style of operation.
Outcome-oriented culture appears to be the dominating culture in Lincoln organization in that more emphasis is laid on achievement and result which tend to determine the employee
