[2023-03-23 16:30:01]
In this article I will explain the organizational culture of Ukrops and Martins Grocery Store. The purpose of this white paper is to explain the similarities and cultural differences between the two organizations, such as employee and customer satisfaction, policies, and the benefits each company brings to its employees. Also in this paper Martins believes that the reason for the need to acquire Ukrops will be explained later. The reason for choosing this theme is that the Martins chain and the Ukrops chain have specific functions / symbols that can be used to define their respective chains.
In this context and in the study of Schein (1985), Martins (1987) developed a model to describe the organizational culture based on the typical ideal organization and the importance of leadership in the creation of an ideal organization culture Did. Martins' model is an organization's subsystem (goal and value, structure, management, technology, psychosocial subsystem), two survival functions: the external environment (social, industrial, and corporate culture) and the internal system System) that is based on interactions. Cultural relics, values, basic assumptions), and cultural aspects The cultural aspects are as follows (Martins, 1987, 1997).
The culture of an organization is expressed through its values, attitudes, philosophy. Once established, organizations and corporate culture can shape and change members' attitudes and behaviors, making it very difficult to change. Organizational culture and corporate culture are expressed in words in the myths, stories, and heroes of the organization and are not expressed in words in the distribution of space, money, and power (module 3). In response to traditional expectations, some people invented their own expectations. Jesse Hamonic, a student at the University of Manitoba, does not accept the deficit of having to volunteer for a local charity. So he started his own charity. Student Harvest relies on college students from all over Canada for donation and volunteer activities. Hamonic launched two other nonprofit organizations that rely on student volunteers and is building an organization that uses his fourth charity, high school volunteers.
If your organization does not have a healthy culture, or if you require any changes to the organization's culture, there is a possibility that the change of the process becomes difficult. Organizational culture may interfere with new transformation efforts, especially if you understand employee expectations and behavior within the organization. Mar (2016: 1) has confirmed this and they believe that 70% of the change efforts for organizational employee culture have failed. One of these changes is difficult The main reason is, organizational culture and it to the built-in organization structure is permanently reflect the "imprint" of the initial, because it often indicates the inertia of the considerable level. Reduction of employee turnover, impact on the behavior of employees, improvement of the company, re-adjustment and / or re-adjustment of the size of the organization goals of the company, improve customer service, and / or the target and the result of a specific company Cultural change is necessary to achieve.
