Assignment: This paper should have a minimum of two single-spaced pages covering the following elements.

Define the culture using the Dimensions of Organizational Culture Profile (OCP)/Interaction and Change Framework.

Illustrate how people (yourself and others) are socialized and participate in this culture (e.g., behaviors, ideas, gathering places, etc.). What are the culture's most symbolic or significant rituals? Why is the meaning assigned to them? What is the group's social hierarchy, and how is it organized and maintained? What objects are present, how are they typically used, and what significance is attached to them? What role does language play in creating and maintaining the culture?

Are there any noticeable sub-cultures within the organization?

Conclude with a critical assessment of the organizational culture. What are its strengths and limitations? Does it support the diversity and inclusion of all organizational members? Are there elements that can be improved to support increased motivation, organizational commitment, or empowerment of the organizational members?

To complete this assignment, you will:

Select an organization to which you belong (workplace, team, or club). Let me know if you need help identifying an appropriate organization for this assignment.

Do a series of field observations to understand, analyze and write about the culture of your selected organization. Suggestions for this fieldwork include taking pictures of the physical spaces that the organization uses, making notes of how meetings are conducted, creating a list of particular jargon or acronyms that the group commonly uses, interviewing other group members, reviewing written materials (e.g., training documents, websites, etc.).

Use your fieldwork to write up your analysis that covers the topics above.
