Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Organizations with strong cultures are characterized by a clear philosophy about how business is to be conducted, considerable time spent on communicating values and beliefs, explicit statements made that describe the organization's values, a set of values/norms that are shared widely and rooted deeply, and careful screening of new employees to ensure that they fit the culture.

Strong organizational cultures are likely to be found in newer organizations that have fewer employees. Perhaps, as organizations grow, the effects of culture become diffused. In addition, organizations are more successful financially when their leaders hold views that are in keeping with the organizational culture than when the views of leaders are at odds with the prevailing culture. Together, these findings suggest that strong cultures shape the preferences and actions of people in the organizations that have them.
