Lens Three: Reviewing the Culture Theories [VILLAGE]
Use the following questions to describe, in a summative-narrative fashion, what the culture of
your organization looks like. Your summary is to be 3–5 pages, include 3–5 references (this can
include your textbook), have a title and reference page, and be formatted according to current
APA style (first person should not be used). Headings should be used for each section of the
paper.
1. Describe the culture of your organization and whether cultural differences exist within
the various units of your organization.
2. How does your organization develop consensus on mission, tasks, and goals?
3. What is your role within the organization and how is this different from your actual job
description? This section should be written from a neutral viewpoint much like a
consultant would view it.
