The context of everything an organization is dealing with is formulated through organization culture. For example, Coca-Cola and Monster Beverage may have a significant difference in their operations; hence there is a need to formulatea culture template that can support the merging of both organizations. Therefore, there exist different steps necessary for building a strong foundation in the organization.ORGANIZATION CULTURE 4Step 1 – Evaluate the current performance and culture: the organization needs to set critical performance priorities such as profitability, growth, customer satisfaction, among others.
