what is culture web used for? does it mean we need to change the culture that we are operating?
June 3, 2014 at 6:04 pm #173339It’s used to analyse the culture of an organisation. See Frigate, Q3 Dec 2101.
June 3, 2014 at 7:07 pm #173398but why do we need to analyse the culture? is it so we can make changes to the current culture?
June 3, 2014 at 8:04 pm #173427It has to be analysed to see if it suits the company strategy. If not, it has to be changed. If it can’t be changes, then perhaps the strategy can’t be followed.
There is a world of difference between the culture in a cut-price airline (watch the costs, minimal customer service) and a full price operator (emphasis on great service to differentiate them from the competition).

June 5, 2014 at 1:35 pm #174179can you use handy to talk about the culture rather than the cultural web?
June 5, 2014 at 3:13 pm #174229Yes. Cultural web sets out what influences or determines culture; Handy suggests that cultures end up as one of four types.
June 5, 2014 at 3:55 pm #174271ok thanks. im reading the pass papaer 2011 june Mahem. does initiation stage means the beginning of the project and the problems arising in the new project?
1. objectives
is it the project sponser job to ensure that the budget and time has been met? in case study it states ” she had delivered value for money by chaalenging the construction company”, this is not part of her role is it? i dont understand in the solutions that it states the project sponser failed to recognise the business obj and project obj, i cant pick out points in the case study that shows the objectives were unclear? if the project fails who is to take responsibilty?2. what is the difference between project manager and sponser.im confused. does the sponser support PM, where PM undertakes this new project and reports to sponser?
3. constraints- talks about time and cost?
4. im not sure of what the authority is, involve in making decisions?
5. resources- does the sources of finance, as i intially thought it was. dut think im wrong.
June 5, 2014 at 4:16 pm #174297sorry another question, where in the case study does it show that the sponser failed communicate to employees?
