Discussion Post: Contrasting Organizational Culture
For this discussion, select one of the following pairs of organizations:
1) American Airlines and Northwest Airlines
2) Anheuser-Busch and Coors
3) Hewlett-Packard and Xerox
You may need to use the any university library's resources to gather information about the companies' cultures.
Contrast the cultures of the pair of organizations you chose, using the following dimensions:
1) Strength of the culture
2) Fit of the culture with the industry's environment
3) Adaptiveness of the culture
Which of the two is the better performer? On what did you base your conclusion? How does the performance of each relate to its organizational culture?
