Organisational Culture

Organisation Culture:

Orange’s materials emerge solely not only on visible display, but also in the social, temporal, and theoretical relations that define the invisible. From what I saw from Orange’s shop every display catches the eye and it’s constant of orange labels everywhere designed into boxes, writing and the main thing is the phone and sim card they are selling.
Orange has designed their shop according to the name its called by (Orange).


Power culture means a web. This power culture is for family owned business. It can be large or small. This can be soap; example Eastenders the Mitchell family, and the pup.


Role culture means a Greek temple it has been stereotyped as portraying bureaucracy in its purest form. This is over seen and co-ordinated by a small group of senior managers. The individual and position isn’t as important as the role or job description.





Task culture means the characteristics of an organisation. Staffs feel motivated because they are empowered to make decisions within their team, they will also feel valued because they may have been selected within that team, and been given the responsibility to bring the task to a successful end.

Person culture means the characteristic of the consensus model of its management. Individual almost have full control of all autonomy and influence over them will be related backed to basics of personal power.





Culture is the most important factor accounting for success or failure in an organisation therefore classifying power culture with culture will make these problems occur especially lack of consultation can lead to staff feeling undervalued and de-motivated, which can also lead to high staff turnover. Another problem is power is not rewarding staff for their work effort.
McDonald's is the largest food service company in the world. They look upon themselves as ‘the leading global food service retailer’. Globally they have more than 30,000 restaurants serving more than 47 million people each day in 121 countries. The first McDonald’s in the UK was opened in 1974, however, on the 31 December 2001 they where recorded to have 1,184 restaurants (including there franchises)

After researching various sources I found that McDonald's were structured along functional lines. Their Chief Executive oversees five major areas of activity:
• Operations (equipment and franchising)
• Development (property and construction)
• Finance (supply chain and new product development)
• Marketing (sales marketing)
• Human Resources (customer services, personnel, hygiene and safety)
I chose this company because I believe they’re the leading global food service in the world.

Conclusion:
This subject matter looked at organisational culture and in an organisation. It led to four main areas being found out which were Person Culture, Task Culture, Role culture and lastly Power culture. These are all used in any organisation so there has to be the right mixture in any company. I realise that they McDonalds chose a structure which suited their organisation and helped with their operations on a local and global scale.
