Organizations that tolerate or encourage subcultures with dissenting values

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By allowing subcultures with dissenting values to exist, an organization may eventually incorporate those values into their own dominant culture, leading to a new set of values that are more relevant and reflective of the current environment. This can lead to a stronger, more adaptable organization in the long run. Option A is incorrect because simply building a counter-culture may not necessarily address the underlying issues of dissenting values. Option C is incorrect as subcultures with dissenting values do not automatically lead to business failure. Option D is incorrect as all organizations have a culture, even if it is not explicitly defined. Option E is incorrect as the statement in option B accurately summarizes the potential impact of dissenting subcultures on an organization's culture.
