Organizational culture is
an important form of organizational communication--it provides a context
which helps members define situations and determine how to respond to
those situations. Members of an organization which values
"efficiency" most will behave differently than those of an organization
which cares primarily about "customer service." |

R. L. Daft (2005)
defines culture as "The set of values, guiding beliefs, understanding,
and ways of thinking that is shared by members of an organization and is
taught to new members." Daft goes on to explain that
organizational culture serves to critical functions: internal
integration and external adaptation.set

is also a means by which organizational members defines its goals,
nonmember stakeholder groups, and how the organization addresses each of
