Organizational Culture and Cultural Diversity

The Organizational Culture is some sort of group in which different people could relate with each other. For example, in a company there is a "sub-culture" where their employees feel that could be identified as members of that organization, sharing beliefs, customs, rules, goals and ways of behaviour.

In order to be accepted, people would do whatever they need to belong to one particular group, even showing the best or worst qualities of them. They have to be careful in the power management, because it is not easy to have the others by my side and this could turn into bad consequences. People need to feel that they are an important part of the organization, they need to be respected and have always in mind the common thoughts and decisions of the group, because they should be integrated and coordinated in all of its work. 

They should also have in mind that there are differences at the inside, that everybody must respect the others' culture and understand their attitudes in order to strenghten the organization an achieve the common goals. 

¿What can we do to improve the way corporations behave?

As globalization changes the way we see corporations and the market itself, we find harder every day to make contributions in terms of changing some companies' behaviors ethically speaking. I mean, when some global companies do things innapropriately (for the environment, for their employees, for the costumers they're selling...) is very difficult to just demand them and have sufficient power to change that.

So, I think that in this situation, first we can speak with some people of the company involved in order to let them know we are worry for some of the things they're doing and try to make them understand that their costumers (we) are not going to continue aquiring goods or services from them if they keep behaving like that. Second, we can promote and publicize those wrong actions in our personal networks (as facebook, twitter, mails, etc.) and spreading them around the people we know to create a powerful voice to make corporations react and take some action.

By this, I just want to let the people know that if corporations feel threatened by anybody that could create a "bad voice" from the company's name, they would probably take some action on the issues and try to correct their behaviors in order to keep having a good image and satisfying their costumers.
