Components of Culture: Nature, Interconnections, and Relevance to the Decisions on the Organization Structure
从逻辑上分析文化组成部分的性质和联系,论证组织结构与文化环境之间存在有意义的匹配概念,并讨论匹配优劣的理论。
Culture is defined in terms of components and parts. The logical nature of the components and of the connections between them are identified and analyzed. These connections are used as a basis for the argument that there is a meaningful concept of the fit between the components of the organization structure and those of its cultural setting. This concept of fit is defined and the values it may logically take are identified. A theory on the goodness and badness of fit between structure components and culture components is discussed and two of its many pieces are developed in detail.
