Organizational Culture
Managers play a vital role in influencing organizational culture. It is important that managers be able to identify and implement successful strategies to restore a dysfunctional culture to a functional one.
Recommend one key strategy or method (with supporting citations) that will restore functionality to a dysfunctional organizational culture, where internal distrust and competitive behavior flourish, sharing your recommendation with your peers. A reactive or retrenchment (not proactive) strategy is needed since the organization is on the verge of collapse due to this chronic dysfunction. Do not suggest establishing trust to resolve this crisis since this organization does not have enough time to build trust, which is a proactive strategy. A quick-fix reactive strategy is needed to save the company now so that long-term proactive strategies may be implemented later. Justify your reasoning with support from peer-reviewed literature and the Bible or Christian literature. Most of your discussion should concentrate on describing how you will implement this success strategy for maximum effectiveness.
Remember: This discussion and all assignments in this course have a management focus, not a leadership focus. There is a distinct difference between management and leadership. Discuss management, not leadership. The Contemporary Management text only provides basic topical information. As a research-intensive doctoral course, you will need to research current peer-reviewed literature. There is no assignment in this course that can be completed by relying on the text alone.
