Abstract
Organizational culture is recognized as an important tool in controlling and coordinating the activities of organizational members
(e.g., executives, managers and employees), facilitating communication among them and providing incentives for them to act in ways which
the leaders of the organization consider necessary to achieve and sustain organizational effectiveness and comply with the requirements and
expectations of the organization’s external environment. It is therefore incumbent on organizational leaders to understand what organizational
culture means, how it develops, and, more importantly, how it can be assessed and changed in order for the organization to adapt and evolve
successfully.
Keywords: Organizational Culture, Corporate Culture, Culture Change, and Organizational Values
