Corporate Culture
1. Introduction
Culture is a set of norm, moral, value, and customs (rules) that belong to human that
used also for interpreting the environment and used to create the behavior. Corporate is a
community that consist group of people act as single entity and recognized as such in law,
where there is a border as the activities arena and there are some roles that followed by rules.
Corporate culture is a set of norm, moral, value, and rules conduct the behavior of individual
in the corporate.
Corporate culture is the personality of the organization. The primary goal of corporate
should have responsibilities to society at large and behave ethically. Negative publicity often
leads to negative impacts on a corporate. All of the members shared beliefs, values, and
behaviors, and then will be a default character and make the culture difficult to change. In
this paper I will explain about corporate culture from some opinions and the changes of
corporate culture.
and resulting with a vision that everyone understands to which everyone is committed.
values are manifest in behavior; and behavior gives meaning to the underlying philosophy.
Philosophy, values, and behavior describe an organizations culture and culture is the glue
It is dynamic and fluid, and it is never static. A culture may be effective at one time,
under a given set of circumstances and ineffective at another time. There is no generically
good culture. There are however, generic patterns of health and pathology. (Hagberg &
Heifetz, 2000)
Culture is the shared beliefs, values, and norms of a group and it includes: (1) the
way work is organized and experienced; (2) how authority exercised and distributed; (3) how
people are and feel rewarded, organized, and controlled; (4) the values and work orientation
of staff; (5) the degree of formalization, standardization, and control through systems there
is/should be; (6) the value placed on planning, analysis, logic, fairness, etc.; (7) how much
initiative, risk-taking, scope for individuality, and expression is given; (8) rules and
eccentricity, etc.; (8) differential status; (9) emphasis given to rules, procedures, specification
In my opinion corporate culture is set of written and unwritten rules that conduct the
members of corporate to behave and beliefs, which set by the leader of the corporate to
achieve the vision and mission. Corporate culture impacted by the environment (social,
politic, and leadership conditions). In many corporates, corporate culture usually changes
Some of the causes of profitability and responsiveness issues are found in the cultures
of the corporate. We need to identify and understanding key attractors and drivers of the
corporate culture to overcome the problems. Some of the issues that can be solved by
understanding the corporate culture are: (1) hiring the suitable employees for the corporate;
(2) creating policies and assignments; (3) making significant changes in response to real
threats to its continued existence; (4) facilitating mergers, joint ventures, and acquisitions; (5)
lightly. For change to be successful here needs to be a compelling reason to change, a clear
vision of what the change will be, and a sensible first step. (Tribus, 2001). Culture changes
require consistency of message, goal, direction, and leadership to succeed. This changes
requires a strong leader who knows where they want the company to go, why they want it to
go there, can articulate both these points, and who has the power to drive the change
behavioral guidelines so that growth and development are harmonious and congruent, and not
disequilibrium are the paradoxical dynamics for culture, development, and growth in
organizational life. (Stupak, 1998) Changing the corporate culture is an expensive and long
process without guaranteed results. The easiest way to change the corporate culture is to fire
everyone and hire the new staff, and implement the new culture to the new staff, because
change the mature staff is more difficult than teaching the new staff.
If the business of the corporate uses skilled-employees, the leader cant to replace the
employees with the new one. Because the value of the company from their employees. This
situation needs adaptability process and consistency goal set of the corporate. In my opinion,
every corporate should develop the employees to have the adaptability competence, resulting
flexibility. In other hand, every corporate should develop the employees to have the
consistency and understanding of the vision, mission, and value of the corporate. With these
consistency and understanding, the employees have the integrity to the corporate.

The changes of corporate culture should be causes of some important reason. Tan
(2001) outlines four instances: (1) when two or more companies of varied backgrounds
merge and continuous conflict among people of different groups are undermining their
performance; (2) when an organization has been around for a long time and its way of
working are so entrenched that is hindering the company from adapting to changes and
competing in the marketplace; (3) when a company moves into a totally different industry or
areas of business and its current ways of doing things are threatening the survival of the
organization; (4) when a company whose staff are so used to work under the favorable
conditions of economic boom but could not adapt to the challenges posed by an economic
slowdown.

performance of the corporate, because culture is set of norm, moral, value, and rules that will
be become the behavior of the employees to achieve the corporates goals. Goals set by the
condition. Changing corporate culture should be done carefully. We must identify exactly the
reason, the attractor, and the key of the corporate culture itself. The most important thing in
