ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE: CASE OF ASDA

INTRODUCTION

Culture can refer to the environment which surrounds people every time. It is an important element which shapes the atmosphere at the workplace that is the relationships between the employees or the relationships vis- a- vis the organisation. But culture is a concept so it cannot be seen. But in an organisation, the term culture can be interpreted in a different manner especially when there are employees coming from various backgrounds and it affects the way people act at the workplace. Even though every organisation has its own culture that is expects employees to embrace and to follow, each member of the organisation can perceive it differently and apply it in a different manner. Within the organisation, each unit or department can have its culture because of the way the managers perceive it. That is how the term organisational culture has been created and has put the emphasis on the fact that the organisation’s employees can be productive and improve their skills with the help of the culture and thus help the organisation achieve its objectives. Indeed, organisational culture is made of rules, languages, ideologies which help organisations members in their day-to-day working experience. The focus of this report is thus to define the role that the culture plays in an organisation like ASDA and how it impacts the employees and the organisation as a whole.

Organisational culture can be defined as the environment designed as the acts of the member of the organisation and while the senior executives play a huge part in the definition of organisation culture, employees as a whole group also participate to the organisational culture. Organisational culture is thus the link that connects the component of an organisation and helps it achieve its goals and objectives.
