PREFACE

BBA is a stepping stone to management career. In order to achieve practical, positive and concrete results, the theoretical knowledge must be supplemented with exposure to real environment.

Theoretical knowledge without practical knowledge is of little value. Theoretical studies in classroom are not sufficient to understand the functioning of a complex and large organisation. Therefore, it becomes necessary to undergo practical training. It supplements the theoretical studies and covers what is left uncovered in the classroom. It exposes a student to invaluable treasure of experiences.

I took my project with Ballarpur Industries Limited, Yamuna Nagar. The project report entitled "corporate culture with reference to Ballarpur industries limited , Yamuna Nagar. the report will provide all the information regarding the corporate culture .

I also hope that this report will be beneficial for my next batches and those who are related to this topic.

Your own business's culture may be based on beliefs spelled out in your mission statement. It could consist in part of a corporate symbol, like the rainbow-colored apple that symbolizes Apple Computer. Whatever shape it takes, your corporate culture plays a big role in determining how well your business will do.If you're not happy with your current culture, there are things you can do to start changing it now. Look for a symbol, story, ritual or other tool you could use to bring out the values and practices you want for your company. Your cultural tool might be a new corporate logo symbolizing your company's personality. Or you could choose a story to embody your approach and make it part of your culture. If you can't find a tool, make one. For example, you can turn an admired former employee into a symbol by giving an award named after that individual, complete with ritual ceremony.The beliefs and behaviors that determine how a company's employees and management interact and handle outside business transactions. Often, corporate culture is implied, not expressly defined, and develops organically over time from the cumulative traits of the people the company hires. A company's culture will be reflected in its dress code, business hours, office setup, employee benefits, turnover, hiring decisions, and treatment of clients, client satisfaction and every other aspect of operations.Related Corporate culture refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that characterize members of an organization and define its nature. Corporate culture is rooted in an organization's goals, strategies, structure, and approaches to labor, customers, investors, and the greater community. As such, it is an essential component in any business's ultimate success or Closely related concepts, discussed elsewhere in this volume, are corporate ethics.which formally state the company's values) and corporate image (which is the public perception of the corporate culture). The concept is somewhat complex, abstract, and difficult to grasp. A good way to define it is by indirection. The Hagberg Consulting Group does just that on its Web page on the subject. HCG suggests five questions that, if answered, get at the essence: What 10 words would you use to describe your company? Around here what's really important? Around here who gets promoted? Around here what behaviors get rewarded? Around here who fits in and who doesn't?As these questions suggest, every company has a culturebut not all cultures (or aspects of them) help a company reach its goals. The questions also suggest that companies may have a "real culture," discernible by answering these questions, and another one which may sound better but may not be the true oneThe concept of corporate culture emerged as a consciously cultivated reality in the 1960s along-side related developments like the social responsibility movementitself the consequence of environmentalism, consumerism, and public hostility to multinationals. Awareness of corporate culture was undoubtedly also a consequence of growth, not least expansion overseaswhere corporations found themselves competing in other national cultures. As corporations became aware of themselves as actors on the social scene, corporate culture became yet another aspect of the business to watch and to evaluatealongside the "hard" measures of assets, revenues, profits, and shareholder return.Corporate culture by definition affects a firm's operations. It is also, by definition, something that flows from management downward and outward. In many corporations, the "culture" was set very early on by the charismatic activity and leadership of a founder. But as major tendencies become deeply institutionalized, corporate culture also becomes an institutional habit that newcomers acquire. In actual practice "reinventing" the corporation from the top down, therefore, is difficult to achieve, takes time, and happens only under strong leadership. failure.

Origin of the report:

But without practical orientation it is somewhat difficult to grasp the core concept. Organisational Behavior is entirely based on practical situation. So in order to enhance the understanding of the core concept, we are required to prepare a report on practical situation to understand how to implement and practice the theoretical part in real life situation.

Objectives of the study:

General Objective:

The general objective of preparing this report is to know about the Corporate Culture in India & fulfill the requirement of the subject 'Organizational Behavior. Specific Objective:

The specific objective of preparing this report is -

They provide necessary instrument and employment to setup different industries essential for a nation to build strong economy. This report has been done basically on analyzing the theoretical and practical practices of Corporate Culture.& how employee employees get effected from it.

Methodology: The report in this study is basically an inductive one. Two different types of systems have been selected here based on convenience. The report is based on both primary and secondary information.

Primary Information: The primary data have been collected from our class lecture, various types of individual professionals.

Secondary Information: The secondary information has been extracted from various textbooks of Entrepreneurship Development. Other notable information that was used for this report was the information gathered from websites which is mention in bibliography

The study is based on the analysis of Corporate Culture But this allocated time is not enough for a complete and fruitful study.

Lack of Experience:

Due to lack of experience, there is a chance of having some mistake in the report though best effort has been applied to avoid any kind of mistake.

INDIAN CORPORATE CULTURE:-Indias success in entering and building a strong presence in the information technology and business process outsourcing markets has often been attributed to the fact that a majority of Indias educated workers speak English. This has been characterized as a unique advantage of the Indian economy relative to other low cost areas in Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. However, language is one of just many factors that shape the corporate culture within a country. Will Indias broader corporate culture become a source of competitive advantage in the way that the widespread ability of Indians to speak English .other research indicate that corporate culture does have the potential to become a source of competitive advantage for the Indian economy. There are robust signs of emerging entrepreneurialism, professionalism, and strong governance within Indias corporations. These traits are similar to those that the American economy has exhibited over the last fifty years through rapid company formation, the growth of professional managers, and good (though improving) governance through boards and public shareholders. This contrasts with slower growing European economies where entrepreneurialism has been dampened due to cultural and legal factors and some Asian companies where poor governance has resulted in some large companies with hidden and deep financial problems. Governance in IndiaThe issue of governance and its impact on Indias corporate culture is primarily relevant to Indian companies as multi-national companies have global governance structures. Within India, governance can be considered for three sets of companies: Indian public companies with foreign ADR listings such as Infosys or Wipro. These companies face the broadest and deepest set of legal requirements regarding governance since they must comply with SEC regulations. However, what is impressive is that companies such as Infosys have gone beyond typical requirements in promoting a higher level of transparence in their governance and reporting. Infosys has a board with a majority of outside directors, reports results in compliance with eight different accounting standards, and discloses its compliance with ten external governance codes. Infosys premium valuation is providing a clear signal to other India companies that good governance has tangible benefits. In fact, a McKinsey survey revealed that Indian investors are willing to pay a 23% premium for companies with good governance structures. Indian public companies. These companies need to comply with Indian regulations which were described by ICICI executives as being fairly robust. A McKinsey analysis also found that Indias regulations and enforcement of accounting standards for Indian companies are fairly strong as they were ranked fourth in Asia and ahead of countries such as China. In addition, the incentive of being able to list shares overseas acts as a motivator to ensure good governance. However, as state owned enterprises are partially privatized, it is possible that the role of the government in the governance structures of such companies could act as an impediment to executing certain business strategies. Indian family controlled conglomerates such as Godrej and Tata. These conglomerates are often a mix of private and public holding structures. Some of these conglomerates have been well managed, but the quality of governance may still be low due to tight control by family members. The need to raise public capital will clearly enhance the governance of some of these organizations. However the competition for Indian management talent that will lead these companies to improve governance to be perceived as attractive places for long-term career relative to other opportunities in India. CULTURE IN SMALL BUSINESSESCulture can be a particularly important consideration for small businesses. A healthy company culture may increase employees' commitment and productivity, while an unhealthy culture may inhibit a company's growth or even contribute to business failure. Many entrepreneurs, when they first start a new business, quite naturally tend to take on a great deal of responsibility themselves. As the company grows and adds employees, however, the authoritarian management style that the business owner used successfully in a very small company can become detrimental. Instead of attempting to retain control over all aspects of the business, the small business owner should, as consultant Morty Lefcoe toldNation's Business, strive to "get everybody else in the organization to do your job, while you create an environment so that they can do it."In a healthy culture, employees view themselves as part of a team and gain satisfaction from helping the overall company succeed. When employees sense that they are contributing to a successful group effort, their level of commitment and productivity, and thus the quality of the company's products or services, are likely to improve. In contrast, employees in an unhealthy culture tend to view themselves as individuals, distinct from the company, and focus upon their own needs. They only perform the most basic requirements of their jobs, and their mainand perhaps onlymotivation is their paycheck.Since every company is different, there are many ways to develop a culture that works. Following are several main principles that small business owners should consider in order to create a healthy corporate culture:Prevailing corporatePrevailing corporate culture begins at the top. Entrepreneurs need to explain and share their vision of the company's future with their workers. "Let your vision for the company become their vision for the company," stated John O'Malley in his article "How to Create a Winning Corporate Culture." He goes on to say that "a company without a vision is reactive in nature, and its management is seldom confident addressing competitive threats and stepping into the future." In addition, small business owners should be aware that their own behavior and attitudes set the standard for the entire workforce. Small business owners who set poor examples in areas such as lifestyle, dedication to quality, business or personal ethics, and dealings with others (customers, vendors, and employees) will almost certainly find their company Treat all employees equally. Entrepreneurs should treat all employees equally. This does not mean that business owners cannot bestow extra rewards on workers who excel, but it does mean that interactions with all employees should be based on a foundation of respect for them. One particular pitfall in this area for many small business owners is nepotism. Many small businesses are family-owned and operated. But bloodlines should be irrelevant in daily operations. "Successful ' businesses constantly place 'you are no different' expectations on family members they employ," noted O'Malley. "Doing otherwise quickly undermines employees' morale'. Showing favoritism in the workplace is like swimming with sharksyou are destined to get bitten.es defined by such characteristicsTreat all employees equally. Entrepreneurs should treat all employees equally. This does not mean that business owners cannot bestow extra rewards on workers who excel, but it does mean that interactions with all employees should be based on a foundation of respect for them. One particular pitfall in this area for many small business owners is nepotism. Many small businesses are family-owned and operated. But bloodlines be irrelevant in daily operations. "Successful ' businesses constantly place 'you are no different' expectations on family members they employ," noted O'Malley. "Doing otherwise quickly undermines employees' morale'. Showing favoritism in the workplace is like swimming with sharksyou are destined to get bitten."Hiring decisions should reflect desired corporate culture. The wise small business owner will hire workers who will treat clients and fellow employees well and dedicate themselves to mastering the tasks for which they are responsible. After all, "good attitude" is an essential component of any healthy corporate culture. But entrepreneurs and their managers also need to make sure that hiring decisions are not based upon ethnic, racial, or gender issues. Besides, businesses typically benefit from having a diverse workforce rather than one that is overly homogeneous.Two-way communication is essential. Small business owners who discuss problems realistically with their workforce and enlist employees' help in solving them will likely be rewarded with a healthy internal environment. This can be an important asset, for once a participatory and engaging culture has been established, it can help propel a small business ahead of its competition.On the other hand, problems with the corporate culture can play a major role in small business failures. When employees only perform the tasks necessary to their own jobs, rather than putting out extra effort on behalf of the overall business, productivity declines and growth comes to a halt. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs tend to ignore the developing cultures within their businesses until it is too late to make needed changes.In an article forEntrepreneur, Robert McGarvey outlined some warning signs of trouble with the company culture, including: increased turnover; difficulty in hiring talented people; employees arriving at work and leaving for home right on time; low attendance at company events; a lack of honest communication and understanding of the company mission; an "us-versus-them" mentality between employees and management; and declining quality and customer satisfaction. A small business exhibiting one or more of these warning signs should consider whether the problems stem from the company culture. If so, the small business owner should take steps to improve the culture, including reaffirming the company's mission and The Importance of Ethics in Organizations

Ethics are the principles and values an individual uses to govern his activities and decisions. In an organization, a code of ethics is a set of principles that guide the organization in its programs, policies and decisions for the business. The ethical philosophy an organization uses to conduct business can affect the reputation, productivity and bottom line of the business.Leadership EthicsThe ethics that leaders in an organization use to manage employees may have an effect on the morale and loyalty of workers. The code of ethics leaders use determines discipline procedures and the acceptable behavior for all workers in an organization. When leaders have high ethical standards, it encourages workers in the organization to meet that same level. Ethical leadership also enhances the companys reputation in the financial market and community. A solid reputation for ethics and integrity in the community may improve the companys business.Employee EthicsEthical behavior among workers in an organization ensures that employees complete work with honesty and integrity. Employees who use ethics to guide their behavior adhere to employee policies and rules while striving to meet the goals of the organization. Ethical employees also meet standards for quality in their work, which can enhance the companys reputation for quality products and service.Ethical Organizational CultureLeaders and employees adhering to a code of ethics create an ethical organizational culture. The leaders of a business may create an ethical culture by exhibiting the type of behavior they'd like to see in employees. The organization can reinforce ethical behavior by rewarding employees who exhibit the values and integrity that coincides with the company code of ethics and disciplining those who make the wrong choices.Benefits to the OrganizationA positive and healthy corporate culture improves the morale among workers in the organization, which may increase productivity and employee retention; this, in turn, has financial benefits for the organization. Higher levels of productivity improve the efficiency in the company, while increasing employee retention reduces the cost of replacing employees. goals and establishing a more open relationship with employees.

The Role of Ethics in StrategyFinancial excellence results when a corporation's values and its ethics support its strategy. Ethics is a component of strategy because every business secures its future by making a contribution. The act of making a contribution is fundamentally an ethical activity. Identifying that contribution and maximizing its value is the field of strategy. Profit is the value the market attaches to an organization's contribution and the efficiency with which it makes that contribution.Employees who see their company making a valued contribution (with profits as the outcome), rather than merely generating shareholder wealth, commit to their work with greater passion. This leads to a partnership between employees and corporate leadership that boosts innovation and uplifts performance. Ethics play a vital role in the preservation of this priceless partnership, which can thrive only in an atmosphere of trust and integrity. Trust and integrity result from integrating an organization's disparate value systems and aligning them with the organization's strategic objectivesCSR :- INDIA"Corporate Social Responsibility is no longer just an addition, it is a key differentiator." Prasad Chandra, CMD, BASF South AsiaBusinesses today have realized that, in order to continue thriving, they have to adopt a more holistic and inclusive business model which has a direct correlation with business performance. This includes a system of triple bottom-line reporting - economic, social and environmental - and a focus on transparency and accountability. Companies are now expected to discharge their stakeholder responsibilities and societal obligations, along with their shareholder-wealth maximisation goal. Even much before the issue became a global concern, India was aware of corporate social responsibility (CSR), due to the efforts of organisations such as the Tata Group.Corporate companies like ITC have made farmer development a vital part of its business strategy, and made major efforts to improve the livelihood standards of rural communities. Unilever is using micro enterprises to strategically augment the penetration of consumer products in rural markets. IT companies like TCS and Wipro have developed software to help teachers and children in schools across India to further the cause of education. The adult literacy software has been a significant factor in reducing illiteracy in remote communities. Banks and insurance companies are targeting migrant labourers and street vendors to help them through micro-credits and related schemes. In June 2008, a survey was carried out by TNS India (a research organization) and the Times Foundation with the aim of providing an understanding of the role of corporations in CSR. The findings revealed that over 90 per cent of all major Indian organizations surveyed were involved in CSR initiatives. In fact, the private sector was more involved in CSR activities than the public and government sectors. The leading areas that corporations were involved in were livelihood promotion, education, health, environment, and women's empowerment. Most of CSR ventures were done as internal projects while a small proportion were as direct financial support to voluntary organizations or communities. In a survey carried out by the Asian Governance Association, which ranks the top 10 Asian countries on corporate governance parameters, India has consistently ranked among the top three along with Singapore and Hong Kong, for the last eight years. In another study undertaken by automotive research company, TNS Automotive, India has been ranked second in global corporate social responsibility. State-owned Bharat Petroleum and Maruti Udyog were ranked as the best companies in India. Bharat Petroleum and Maruti Udyog came on top with 134 points each, followed by Tata Motors (133) and Hero Honda (131). The study was based on a public goodwill index and India received 119 points in the index against a global average of 100. Thailand was at the top slot with 124 points. The Indian corporate sector spent US$ 6.31 billion on social expenditure during 2007-08, up from US$ 3.68 billion spent during the previous fiscal. The Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), the country's largest steel company, spent US$ 21.05 million on CSR last year; Tata Steel Ltd, (which runs a 850-bed hospital and rural projects in 800 villages around Jamshedpur), spends about US$ 31.58 million as part of its annual revenue expenditure. Now there are plans to also introduce CSR in the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector to increase its reach in remote areas. CSR Initiatives and Green MeasuresIndia Inc has joined hands to fine-tune all its activities falling under CSR. For this, it has set up a global platform to showcase all the work done by Indian firms. Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the TVS Group have collaborated to form the CII-TVS Centre of Excellence for Responsive Corporate Citizenship. The outfit, based in Chennai, will provide consultancy services and technical assistance on social development and CSR. CII's 'Mission on Sustainable Growth' has set up a code which was formulated in 2006. It provides consultancy services and technical assistance on social development and CSR. The mission's aims are to promote the reduction of excessive consumption of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases. The code had started with 23 new signatories and the total number of code signatories had gone up to 102, by September 2008.

Literature review Blockholdings in Europe:: An international comparison Marco BechtaWe preview empirical work by the European Corporate Governance Network on the size of block shareholdings in Europe. The most salient finding is the extraordinarily high degree of concentration of shareholder voting power in Continental Europe relative to the U.S.A. and the U.K. Thus the relationship between large controlling shareholders and weak minority shareholders is at least as important to understand as the more commonly studied interface between management and dispersed shareholders.2 Cross-Cultural Management Research: The Ostrich and the Trend.1Nancy J. Adler1The trends in cross-cultural management papers published in 24 journals during the last decade, 1971 to 1980, are examined. Less than 5 percent of organizational behavior articles published in top American management journals focused on cross-cultural issues. The majority of the cross-cultural articles were single culture studies; less than 1 percent investigated the interaction between employees of different cultures. No increase was seen in the number of international organizational behavior articles over the decade.3 Organizational Culture and Marketing: Defining the Research AgendaRohit Deshpande and Frederick E. Webster, Jr.Journal of MarketingContemporary work on marketing management is grounded implicitly in a structural functionalist or contingency perspective of organizational functioning. However, the field of organizational behavior from which such a perspective derives has recently developed a major thrust into theoretical modeling and empirical research on organizational culture. The authors survey this emerging literature on organizational culture, integrate it in a conceptual framework, and then develop a research agenda in marketing grounded in the five cultural paradigms of comparative management, contingency management, organizational cognition, organizational symbolism, and structural/psychodynamism.4 Corporate Culture and Economic Performance: A French Study1. Roland Calori2. This paper is based on an exploratory field study of the relations between corpor ate culture and economic performance. The method of assessing a company's culture is presented, then hypotheses on relations between values, management practices and economic performance are proposed and discussed.3. 1. Donna J. Wood1This article defines corporate social performance (CSP) and reformulates the CSP model to build a coherent, integrative framework for business and society research. Principles of social responsibility are framed at the institutional, organizational, and individual levels; processes of social responsiveness are shown to be environmental assessment, stakeholder management, and issues management; and outcomes of CSP are posed as social impacts, programs, and policies. Rethinking CSP in this manner points to vital research questions that have not yet been addressed.6 Concepts of Culture and Organizational AnalysisLinda SmircichThis paper examines the significance of the concept of culture for organizational analysis. The intersection of culture theory and organization theory is evident in five current research themes: comparative management, corporate culture, organizational cognition, organizational symbolism, and unconscious processes and organization. Researchers pursue these themes for different purposes and their work is based on different assumptions about the nature of culture and organization. The task of evaluating the power and limitations of the concept of culture must be conducted within this assumptive context. This review demonstrates that the concept of culture takes organization analysis in several different and promising directions.7 Cultural complexity in organizations: Inherent contrasts and contradictions.Sackmann, Sonja A. (Ed)Thousand Oaks, CA, US: Sage Publications, Inc Cultural complexity in organizations: Inherent contrasts and contradictions.1. The multiple perspectives through which culture is explored in this volume show that culture in organizational settings is more complex, pluralistic, diverse and contradictory than previously acknowledged. Addressing culture at various levels, including national, industrial, organizational, and sub-organizational, this book provides broad, yet concise, analysis representing the latest research.Using empirical data based on multi-method research approaches, this book makes recommendations on how to better deal with cultural complexity in organizations. It is intended for students and professionals in organization studies, management, gender studies, sociology, and psychology. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)8 Developing corporate culture as a competitive advantage ,,, goldez sadriDefines the concept of corporate culture and shows how it affects organizations (both positively and negatively). Corporations that have been successful in establishing and fostering positive cultures are profiled. The authors find that an effective culture must be aligned with employee values and be consistent with the environment in which the organization operates. While it is best to establish a positive culture with which employees can identify during an organizations infancy, it is possible to change an existing culture. Such change is best accomplished by modeling desired behavior at all levels of management and by planning events that foster frequent interaction among crossfunctional employees. Concludes that a positive culture can provide a significant competitive advantage.9 The nature of safety culture: a review of theory and research F.W Guldenmund This paper reviews the literature on safety culture and safety climate. The main emphasis is on applied research customary in the social psychological or organisational psychological traditions. Although safety culture and climate are generally acknowledged to be important concepts, not much consensus has been reached on the cause, the content and the consequences of safety culture and climate in the past 20 years. Moreover, there is an overall lack of models specifying either the relationship of both concepts with safety and risk management or with safety performance10 Understanding organisational culture and the implications for corporate marketingAlan m.wilsonThe actions of employees such as service personnel are seen as being important in communicating a companys corporate values and goals, particularly where they interact directly with customers and other corporate audiences. Their beliefs, norms and values derived from the organisational culture influence their actions and the informal messages that they communicate. A mystique still exists around the concept of organisational culture.
