Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An omnipotent view of management sees managers as directly responsible for the organization's success or failure, and thus building on this belief would be consistent with this type of organizational culture. A traditional view may emphasize stability and conformity to past practices, while a symbolic view may focus on the communication and interpretation of symbols within the organization. Standard and conservative are not specific views of management in the context of organizational culture.
