Chapter 3 in Managing by Values, 2006, pp 50-68 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Organizational culture develops over a period of time and is largely entrenched in the values embraced by the organization. Ed Schein, a noted scholar on organizational culture from MIT, defines organizational culture as: A pattern of basic assumptions, invented, discovered or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integration that has worked well enough to be considered valid and therefore is to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems. (1985, p. 9)
