Answer to Question 2

A
Organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that actively influences the behavior of
an organization. Five primary components are values (the foundation for the organization, they guide
behavior and express the organization's philosophy), relative diversity (by having an organizational
culture, some degree of similarity is assumed, but the amount of deviation tolerated from this
similarity differs), resource allocation and reward (distribution of monies and resources tells people
what and who is valued in the organization), degree of change (fast-paced organizations differ from
slower-paced ones and how they react to change), and strength of the culture (how much influence the
culture exerts). Vision statement is not a component of organizational culture.
