2. Find one company – preferably one that garners frequent media
attention – whose organization culture you think is exemplary. Explain the
components of the company’s culture and why you think it’s an ideal place to
work.
3. If you were a remote employee for a small book publishing company
that was 200 miles from your home, how would you work to ensure you were still
part of the organizational culture? Or do you think remote employees who never
come to the office can’t be a part of the organization’s culture? Explain your
viewpoint in detail.
4. You run a small app development company that has 9 employees: 3
of whom work in the office and the others work remotely but come to the office
for quarterly meetings and team building activities. All 9 of your employees
have been with you since day one and all are very satisfied with their job and
the organization. You’re organizational culture is a relaxed one, where people
have freedom to set their own hours, learn on the job, and always stretch their
abilities. You think of your staff as your family. Due to rapid growth you are
thinking about hiring 3 employees in Mumbai, India. If you do this, how could
you work to export your organizational culture in a way that those employees
have the same experience as your employees in the U.S.?
