Joint venture: CPE has a Joint venture with ICAF in 2010, to perform their operations and provide quality education by gathering their supreme faculty and to achieve their common interests and goals. 11. Organizations Culture according to Hofstedes cultural model: Theres a culture of individualism because every individual has been assigned a task which he/she perform solely no team work exist. There is a lot of power distance in this organization because Directors and Dean can take decision for organization. Employees ideas are mostly not appreciated. Both male and female are working together. This organization has long term perspective and doing more and more things like branching and joint-venture for long run of business. 12. Structure: 12.1. Task specialization: Employees and faculty members are divided according to their specialized area of working and courses which they can teach. 12.2.

Professors are answerable to Principle of particular program.

Centralization and Decentralization: This organization is highly centralized as a group of people is only making decisions.

13. Other information: Informal meetings are held throughout the 6 months session between Directors and Deans. Any idea bought by Director or Management member is discussed in meeting whether formal or informal. Formal meeting is held twice in a 6 month academic session. Hierarchy is need based. Job has been assigned to every individual.
