1. Using the competing values framework as a point of reference, how would you describe Verizon’s current organizational Culture? Provide examples to support your conclusions.
I think Verizon’s current organizational culture is a mixture of clan and market sections of the competing values framework.

3. Which of the 11 ways to change an organizational culture has Verizon used to create its current culture? Provide examples to support your conclusion.
I feel like Verizon has used number five, Role Modeling, Training, & Coaching. Yrizarry states in the article “We are focused on attracting and retaining the best talent from colleges and universities as we see this as critical to building our leadership funnel for the future.” They also in 2011 designed a new “Verizon Leadership Development Program” across the enterprise. They recruit the highest-performing college graduates at strategic partnership schools with 10-12 week Verizon internships and semester long co-ops as a primary feeder pool for the full time college hire. The program also currently sponsors Finance, Network Operations, Engineering, IT, Human Resources, and Marketing. Before they get hired they are expected to complete a minimum of two job rotations which could vary between two or three years in the program. They all experience a 24- month customized leadership curriculum road map focused on cultural immersion and self awareness, operational effectiveness, high performance, and leadership preparation.

As mentioned in the introduction of the mini case, Hobby Horse Company, Inc. (HH) experienced a tough year in 2011. HH opened up a number of new stores but experienced a poor Christmas season. Christmas season is the biggest sale period for retail stores. As a result, bad Christmas sales performance played a big part of HH’s loss for year 2011. As we computed the financial ratios for HH, we can see the effects from new stores openings and poor sales performance.

Verizon Communications has well defined values and goals in the presence of the traditional mission and vision statements.

This rule is not inflexible. As Heffernan explained: “Notwithstanding its merit in excluding unreliable evidence and enhancing adjudication, the rule against hearsay suffers from the disadvantage that it is overly broad in its application. Because the rule can and does lead to the exclusion of probative evidence, it has been constrained over the years in the UK and Ireland by numerous common law and statutory exceptions.”
Now, although the data above provides a broad gauge as to the most successful channels, the report further investigates if these two channels continues to be the best options on the basis of two income group levels—by dividing the data set into a low-income and a high-income group.

In the early 2000’s, D&B realized that in order to transform their business, they needed to transform their culture. Similar to many other traditional companies, D&B was too risk averse and slow moving in responding to a market that was changing so quickly. Their first step was to recreate the hierarchies and bureaucracy of the company that had developed over many years (Digital, 2015). The second step was defining the behaviors that were expected in this new culture (Digital, 2015). D&B’s “Winning Culture” model defined how employees should interact with each other day-to-day including the principals of the organization who were now open to communication, honest opinions and decisive action. Finally, D&B created a new physical environment that supported their
The year 2006 was a time where the global economy was shifting rapidly. Nokia noticed this change and realized they had to change their strategy in order to remain sustainable. The company took initiative and incorporated every employee during their process of change. Nokia engaged their most important stakeholders (their employees) to help shift and change the culture to accommodate the fast-paced, changing world. Employees actively participated by giving their opinions, values, and how they’d like to see Nokia change. They even took it to the next level by creatively presenting the new values they formed.
