  3. Evaluate the role of culture on employee
  4. Evaluate how the company could use the culture of the organisation to further enhance its success.

This is a 2,500 word report. Secondary and primary research should be used.

This assignment has been designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of the following module learning outcomes:
Define theories, models and concepts relating to the study of human behaviour in the workplace  
Demonstrate an understanding of how these theories can explain the way that people behave and interact at work at, group and organisational levels  
Demonstrate an understanding of the impact that organisational culture can have on the success of that organisation  
Task requirements
This task will involve you carrying out some PRIMARY and SECONDARY research

Secondary research should include:-

  • Theories of organisational culture
  • Theories/models of communication
  • Theories of motivation
  • You need to find at least TEN SOURCES of information (e.g. from books, academic journals, internet etc) to define, describe and explain these theories/models in detail.

Primary research

  •  Identify and illustrate the culture of the organisation using primary research.
  • Link this to models or theories.

The purpose of the primary research is to explore how the topic is applied in practice. You are expected to undertake some PRIMARY research into the companies, if possible, to analyse their organisational culture, their communication methods and their approach to motivating staff. This may involve interviewing some managers and employees to ascertain their views, or interviewing a friend or neighbour who works/worked for the companies.  If this is not possible, then try to identify case studies or information from the company websites which will help you to evaluate the differences between the companies.
