Abstract :
Shows two methods for achieving organizational results. If an organization focuses only on the strategic side of the model, and if there is little congruence between the strategic and cultural side, the organization will stagnate and develop the characteristics of an entrenched bureaucracy. In contrast, if a company focuses only on the cultural side, the organization will quickly become a wonderful place to work but, unfortunately, it will soon close its doors because it lacks the ability to achieve long-term results. All models tend to generalize and cannot by their very nature take into account exceptions. Models tend to simplify complex issues. This, of course, is both a positive and a negative. The simplicity may help you see things you would otherwise have missed, but models do not answer all questions that may be posed relative to the given model´s intended purpose. We also have to concern ourselves with the reality that these behaviours are motivated by shared values.
