The Logic of Two Different Cultures: Control versus Development

Simon L. Dolan, Salvador Garcia and Bonnie Richley

Chapter 4 in Managing by Values, 2006, pp 69-94 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To what extent are the beliefs and values inspiring the organizations of the beginning of the 20th century the same as those persisting today in most companies? What are the new beliefs and values that will inspire the necessary changes in structures, processes and personnel policies so that companies can hold on to their markets and develop new ones in the 21st century? Do we cling to a culture of control, or do we cultivate an environment that fosters development throughout the organization? Ask yourself what is needed, control or development, in order not only to survive, but to thrive.
