Overview

Organisational culture is an extremely difficult issue to define since there are so many inter-relating components:

Power -- Who holds the legitimate authority and who makes the decisions in the organisation? These authority figures and decision makers may not be the same people.

Politics -- What types of different relationships exist in the organisation and whose views have unofficial influence?

Values and beliefs -- What do the decision makers believe in, and how well are these values accepted by the rest of the people in the organisation?

Ideologies -- What underlying philosophies influence management style and procedures? Is there a recognisable policy of how to deal with people?

Social influences -- What are the different social pressures on behaviour?

After participating in this course, you should be able to:

    explain the component parts of the culture of organisations
    understand the impact of each component on managers.

In working through this session, you will practise the following BTEC common skills:

    Managing and Developing Self
    Working with and Relating to others
    Communicating
    Managing Tasks and Solving Problems
    Applying Numeracy
    Applying Technology

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
