Corporate
Culture Matters! Lessons From Real Enterprises
-- Anand
Agrawal and Sunil Bhardwaj
The
recent Enron collapse has sent shockwaves all over the financial
world and raised serious questions regarding corporate culture
and governance. However, on the other hand there are other
big houses that are not only surviving but also increasing
their worth and are becoming living examples of good corporate
culture. So, we submit that the corporate culture matters
a lot these days. It can either bring prosperity or disaster
to organizations, depending on whether the corporate culture
is toxic or healthy. The Enron executives created a culture
of greed, corruption and deception; eventually, the enron
collapsed because of the inevitable correction made by forces
of the market place. The Paper further progresses with the
classification of corporate cultures and ends with the stress
on importance of managing culture. Along with these it presents
some case highlights on corporate culture in some corporations
to understand the concept better.
