Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The characteristic described is commonly associated with strong organizational cultures, which are defined by shared values, beliefs, and behaviors. Strong structures may provide clear lines of authority and accountability, but they do not necessarily create a shared value system. Strong designs may be efficient and effective, but they do not necessarily foster a strong corporate identity or collective commitment. Strong artifacts, such as logos or slogans, can represent the organization but do not necessarily reflect a shared value system. Strong top managers may set the tone for the organization, but unless their values and beliefs are widely shared, they may not be sufficient to create a strong organizational culture.
