SUMMARISATION

Culture is conveyed in both explicit and implicit ways.

Newcomers to an organisation must quickly assimilate a

great deal about the culture.

Veteran employees must remain aware of cultural change

too, especially when the leadership changes.

Organisational culture is the shared

assumptions, beliefs and values held

by most members of an organisation.
