Case regarding the creation of the organization culture at
Falcon…
CASE DETAILS
Falcon Computer was a new firm in the Silicon Valley area of California (USA)..
‘FALCON VALUES’ document was created by the management of the firm..
Software trainer Peter Richards noticed the wide discrepancy between the values expressed in the document and the actual managerial behaviour..
Falcon Computer finally filed for bankruptcy..
Organisational Culture and Managerial behaviour
What is more important –
A - Statement in Corporate culture document.
OR
B - Actual managerial behavior.
Why did the Falcon executives act as they did?
They wanted to maintain their supremacy in the organization by virtue of the positions held
At the same time also wanted to create and maintain such an organizational culture that every employee in the organization could identify with
Whistle Blow..
Employees became a part of the prevalent Organizational Culture and became habituated in it.
Blowing whistle is the previous stage of change
Changes are always prevented in an Organization
Changing the old values:
Whistle Blowing by the executives whenever they come across any such organizational culture which is not relevant
Should be the first [person to start the change & should also take the higher authorities in confidence.
Should uphold the culture which u think is right. As truly said that ‘Almost anything u do will seem insignificant. But its very important that u do it. You must be the change you want to see in this world.’- Mahatma Gandhi.
Conclusion..
All the employees of the company should be interviewed to confirm the company’s true condition.
The extent of the study needs to be stipulated. In a real study, it should be noted what the
management and employees perceive to be the real values or lack of values.
Management should be interviewed and sources cited as they have no cited spokesperson and Richards is new to the company.
