organisational culture

All of these feed into collective, unspoken judgement as to what is relevant, acceptable and/or important within an organisation.

The core elements of organisational culture are implicit; they are practised in daily routines, give a common direction to the members of an organisation, and are the result of learning and internal coordination within an organisation. Furthermore, they constitute a specific view of the world.

Individuals do not consciously learn an organisational culture, but they internalise it within a process of socialisation. This shows that institutional transformation can occur only if organisational culture is taken into account.
