BUSINESS CULTURE IN VIEW


Business culture is not just about how others see a business but also about how the individuals within an organization understand it. The cultural perspective has become popular in business studies because it offers a way of explaining performance and understanding differences.


FACTORS THAT SHAPE THE CULTURE OF A BUSINESS
  • The Influence of a dominant leader- The vision of management style and personality of the founder or leader in a business often has a significant influence on the values that the business tries to promote.
  • The history and tradition of the business; how things have always been done and why.
  • Which industry or sector the business is in and how much and what type of competition it faces.
  • The customers of the business, who they are and what they expect.
  • Company expectations; based on a large extent on past performance.
  • The types of information and control system used.
  • The legislation and wider business environment.
  • The procedures and policies within the business: Ever-evolving but often a good indicator of underlying values.
  • The reward system and the measurement of performance
  • How the business is organized and resourced.
  • Goals, values and beliefs- reflected in objects, actions and language.


Keyword to note: Have a business approach to everything you do in life.

Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the f...

WAYS TO LOSE A JOB BEFORE YOU'RE INTERVIEWED

The internet is filled with all the things you have to do to get your job but no one ever talks about all the things you have to not do to get a job. So here are some important “don’ts” of job hunting. Don’t use one method of job hunting: Ok, we get that social media and online applications are the in-thing now but never forget or underestimate the power of plain ol’ physical applications submissions, recruiting agencies and “connect” referrals. Don’t do mass applications with the same CV: No really, do not do that. Don’t apply for every job (you really cannot do “anything”) and if you’re going to apply to a lot of jobs in your field, ensure each application is tailored to the job description and company. Don’t “play yourself”: As noted in point 1, social media is the in-thing right now and it can cost you major opportunities. Do not post anything you don’t want a prospective employer to see.
