Corporate Cultures Are Not Totally Homogeneous

Companies, especially large, complex organization, have more than one culture operating. Although the core values of the organization should be the same across the entire organization. Functional departments, divisions, and business units tend to develop distinct subcultures of their own. Historically, skills, practices, and policies valued in one area not necessarily valued in another.

Talent admired and respected by scientists in R&D, for example, are likely to completely different from those admired and respected by staff member in public relations or by plant workers in manufacturing. Perceptions, assumptions, and beliefs can vary, depending on the context of each environment. What’s important for organization, however, is to create a unified vision that everyone can see and embrace and a mission tha everyone understands and can work toward.
