Abstract

Corporate culture is the most important and central success factor for sustainably successful organizations. If one understands corporate culture as a reality of life within companies which can be formed and developed, it becomes a key management tool. In practice, however, there is often a lack of concrete models, methods and approaches on how to directly change and shape the corporate culture. This is the aim of this practice-oriented book: After a brief introduction to the relevant terms and concepts of corporate culture, its importance for corporate success is elaborated. An integrated architecture model of corporate culture sets the framework for strategy, operational implementation and conscious, culture-compliant daily action. A six-phase process is then presented, which starts with the determination of the most important factors of the individual corporate culture, enables a maturity classification, presents possible methods and intervention options and outlines a change process via a roadmap with which a successful culture change can be monitored. An accompanying illustrative example clarifies the individual phases and demonstrates the possible implementation in one's own corporate practice. The importance of leadership and recommendations for the successful implementation of corporate culture projects round off the book. This book is a translation of the original German edition Unternehmenskultur gestalten by Josef Herget published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. The content Integrated architecture model – a framework for corporate culture design Developing your own culture model – determining the central factors of your corporate culture Implementation and monitoring - designing the change process Dos and Don'ts in culture change projects - ensuring success The author Prof. Dr. Josef Herget combines many years of experience in academia with international consulting activities. He has taught and researched at various universities in Europe and managed several companies. He is the director of the Excellence Institute - Research & Solutions in Vienna.

Abstract

"Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings reveals for the first time the unorthodox culture behind one of the world's most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies. There's never before been a company like Netflix. Not only because it has led a revolution in the entertainment industries; or because it generates billions of dollars in annual revenue; or even because it is watched by hundreds of millions of people in nearly 200 countries. When Reed Hastings co-founded Netflix, he developed a set of counterintuitive and radical management principles, defying all tradition and expectation, which would allow the company to reinvent itself over and over on the way to becoming one of the most loved brands in the world. Rejecting the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate, Reed set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous severance and hard work is irrelevant. At Netflix, you don't try to please your boss, you practice radical candor instead. At Netflix, employees never need approval, and the company always pays top of market. When Hastings and his team first devised these principles, the implications were unknown and untested, but over just a short period of time they have led to unprecedented flexibility, speed, and boldness. The culture of freedom and responsibility has allowed the company to constantly grow and change as the world, and its members' needs, have also transformed. Here for the first time, Hastings and Erin Meyer, bestselling author of The Culture Map and one of the world's most influential business thinkers, dive deep into the controversial philosophies at the heart of the Netflix psyche, which have generated results that are the envy of the business world. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees from around the globe and never-before-told stories of trial and error fro m his own career, No Rules Rules is the full, fascinating, and untold story of a unique company making its mark on the world"-- When Hastings co-founded Netflix, he developed a set of counterintuitive and radical management principles which would allow the company to reinvent itself over and over on the way to becoming one of the most loved brands in the world. Rejecting the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate, he set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. This culture of freedom and responsibility has allowed the company to constantly grow and change as the world, and its members' needs, have also transformed.

Abstract

This book seeks to explain the nature of discrimination and exclusion and why these are so prevalent in our societies. The continued failure to overcome these obstacles prevent organisations from taking advantage of the significant benefits and returns that come from being inclusive in the face of diversity. It explores the key drivers of non-inclusive behavior and how they can be countered before providing guidance on how organisations can successfully pursue inclusive culture change. With a mix of applied academic theory, practical examples and real-world experiences, the book examines the topic of D&I from four perspectives: (I) Why diversity and inclusion matters. (II) The forces of exclusion and isolation. (III)The imperative conditions of change. (IV)The organisation of the culture transformation process. In doing so, the book meets the diverse needs of those involved in corporate governance, board members, executives, and even consultants who want to understand the intricacies of cultural diversity and inclusion and why so many programmes fail. For academics in organisational behavior, equity, diversity, and inclusion, trained in the social sciences and anthropology, the book offers a guide to the practical application of theory and the implementation of policies that cannot rely on the assumption of stability and consistency. This book is an invitation to anyone who wants to take on the challenge of making a difference and organisational change a reality.
