A. Company Culture | | | | |
(0) Unsatisfactory | (1) Does Not Meet Standard | (2) Minimally Competent | (3) Competent | (4) Highly Competent |
The candidate does not provide a logical comparison of each company’s culture before the merger to the 4 types of organizational culture, using the Competing Values Framework. | The candidate provides a logical comparison, with no detail, of each company’s culture before the merger to the 4 types of organizational culture, using the Competing Values Framework. | The candidate provides a logical comparison, with limited detail, of each company’s culture before the merger to the 4 types of organizational culture, using the Competing Values Framework. | The candidate provides a logical comparison, with adequate detail, of each company’s culture before the merger to the 4 types of organizational culture, using the Competing Values Framework. | The candidate provides a logical comparison, with substantial detail, of each company’s culture before the merger to the 4 types of organizational culture, using the Competing Values Framework. |
There are two components that should be included in your response to this prompt. First, you should categorize the symphony and the opera into one of the four cultures represented in the competing values framework (i.e. adhocracy, clan, market, hierarchy) and you should provide support from the case study why each belongs in that category. Second, you should compare the symphony and the opera with each of the other three cultures to make for a more comprehensive analysis and substantive response. Your submission might take the following format:
Slide A: CVF Cultures
Adhocracy-Describe and discuss the adhocracy culture and discuss commonalities (if any) that it shares with the symphony or the opera.
Market-Describe and discuss the market culture and discuss commonalities (if any) that it shares with the symphony or the opera.
Hierarchy-Describe and discuss the hierarchy culture and discuss commonalities (if any) that it shares with the symphony or the opera.
Clan-Describe and discuss the clan culture and discuss commonalities (if any) that it shares with the symphony or the opera.
Slide B: Symphony Culture
Identify the culture to which it most closely aligns. Identify key attributes the symphony has that supports your alignment (provide examples from the case study).
Slide C: Opera Culture
Identify the culture to which it most closely aligns. Identify key attributes the opera has that supports your alignment (provide examples from the case study).
To support your work on this prompt, you may want to download the Competing Values Framework (CVF) document, available in TaskStream. Within this document you will find a four quadrant graph representing each culture based on its attributes of external versus internal focus as well as its flexibility versus control. Using the information provided in the case study, you can identify where each organization stands with regards to these attributes. You will want to use supporting detail to show why each organization belongs in that category. Once you’ve categorized the companies using this graph, you can review the cultures to which you’ve assigned the two companies and search the case study for support for any claims you make about the companies.
A1. Company Structure | | | | |
