You’ll also learn that culture is a metaphor which can be used to explore the identity of a business.
In this course you’ll study Hofstede’s five Cultural Dimensions Resource, and a series of perspectives that we might use to achieve a different insight into business was introduced by Morgan (1986) in his book entitled Images of an Organization.
You will also receive working abroad resources.
Furthermore, you’ll be provided with definitions of organizational culture and culture as socialization.
You’ll learn about symbols within business resources, and how academics and managers attempted to diagnose these largely hidden aspects of business.
