Abstract: Organizational members responded to four open-ended questions about the organizationÕs culture at two times, six years apart. Results of a content analysis of the responses indicated that organizational values remained stable, despite extensive changes in the top leadership of the organization coupled with environmental forces that were pushing for change in the organizationÕs culture. The categories of responses that emerged from the survey were explored and discussed as depictions of the organizationÕs culture.
