Take Sainsbury’s and Tesco for example, they went to court for their price campaign, but now the new campaign, the customer service comparison, has been sparkled among supermarkets. The cheap prices they offer is not enough for customers, so they could not cut corners on customer service as another way to have bigger market shares and better goodwill. (Ogbonna & Wilkinson, 1990) the other factor is the industry-related environment. Technological factor will be used to illustrate how technological, legal, economic, political, demographic and ecological factors shape industries (thompson & mchugh, 2002). Just like Edgar H. Schein says, the future is unpredictable, we do not know which direction we are moving towards, but the world being more complex and fast fast-paced is for sure (Schein, 1985). In 1920, the single-purpose machine tools and assembly line were created by Henry Ford and implemented by various industries to boot their productivities. These creation changes almost everything, the fixed speed, the predictable productivity and self-generated supervision. When industrial mode of production and productivity move for forward, organizational culture, as a superstructure, have to keep pace with the economic…

culture: ‘it’s the way we do things around here.’ The unconsciously embedded assumptions are the most difficult to measure and evaluate, especially when Amazon’s employee turnover is at an ultimate high. According to former employees, the underlying assumption that guide behaviour and how members perceive Amazon are based on the idea that their hard work would pay-off, in hopes of becoming wealthy by the stocks awarded (BBC, 2014). Another underlying assumption is based on Amazon’s ‘Survival of…

It looked just like any other store. Then the other day in class when I was learning about organisational culture and values, it suddenly struck me that these were the things that I was looking at the previous day at the Warehouse. By looking at the way they worked at the Warehouse I was unknowingly experiencing their culture. Then as I learnt more about the Schein 's model of the 3 levels of an organisational culture, I started to connect the dots. All that I could see at the Warehouse the…

Culture isn’t a topic that is easily defined. This has been seen through the many different types of definitions from academics. For example Edgar, (2010) discusses that culture draws on themes from sociology, social psychology, cognitive phycology and anthropology (Edgar H, 2010). According to Kotter (2008) argues that culture is the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, beliefs, arts, and all other characteristics of a community or population. (Kotter, 2008). Moreover, Scahill,…

quote which founder and Managing Director Paul Woods used to describe how the culture benefits all those within the organisation. (Clegg, et al, 2008) notes that "culture is not displayed on the surface; instead, it is hidden and often unconscious". Schein (1997) on the other hand, goes a step further and describes organisational culture as the assumptions and beliefs that all the individuals within the organization collectively share. To add to this Schein refers to three levels of…

The Impressionist Movement: Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt Throughout history, art has acted as a medium of expression for many of the political and social issues that surrounded the artists. Artworks inspired new art movements, and other times it was the political and social circumstances that brought on a new range of artists and styles. The 19th century moved through many art movements, but one that dominated most of the late 19th century was Impressionism. Impressionism was an art style that…

The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…
