Consulting Scenario for Universal Oil and Gas To correctly address the problems facing Universal, an examination of the current business culture within the company is necessary. Business culture refers to cultural differences, and expectations of the way companies conduct business according to the cultural values associated with a company. The problem facing Universal is a lack of a unified culture. With an overemphasis on collaboration, but lacking in directional leadership; previously, the company has relied on acquiring new businesses during times of expansion. A lack of a unified culture, however, has led to lengthy debates and discussion, which has currently placed Universal at a competitive disadvantage. Presumably, a lack of a unified culture and the overemphasis on collaboration has become a culture within itself for Universal. Culture should at least

When reviewing Rasmussen’s policies of academic integrity, the first very important step is to ensure that each student is informed as well as equipped to take on the assignments that are asked of them. As the instructor, it is important to continually make sure expectations are placed before the students in a clear, understandable, and attainable manner. Additionally, that resources are made available to help them meet these expectations.

Every organization has values and beliefs that define what they do and how they do things in the organization. These values have significant influence on how the employees behaves and the general performance of the organization – it is these set of values and beliefs, rooted deep in the company’s organizational structure that depict the “dos”, “don’t” and the “hows”, of the organization and these unequivocally represents the culture of the organization. This concept became popular in the 1980s when Peters and Waterman in their book: “In search of Excellence” presented the profound argument that, the success of any organization is inextricable linked to the quality of its culture. (Carpenter, M., Taylor, B., Erdogan, B. 2009 p183). The purpose of this paper is an attempt to analyse the impact diverse cultures played in the success of the Lincoln Electric Company.

Many of the executives had already been involved in several efforts towards change and many of those efforts fell short. The

The modern business culture must, by necessity, be fluid if it is to succeed globally. There is interaction between employees, between stakeholders, and between global environments. In fact, this environment is formed through multiple interactions between the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities presented through the organization's unique culture. Since truly the one constant in business is change, it is how we adapt to such changes; as individuals and part of groups, that helps manifest behaviors as he culture evolves. Indeed, many believe that one of the templates that make up this fluidity is the concept, even more popular in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, of mergers and acquisitions (Horibe, 2001).
What is the culture's position on important issues facing the corporation (that is, on productivity, quality of performance, adaptability to
Academic integrity is the code of academic conduct that is set forth by educational institutions. It is the catalyst for the mission of most institutions. The expectation is that students will be honest and responsible as it pertains to academia. It defines the academic rigor in research and academic publishing and gives value to the institution (Spain & Robes, 2011). Academic integrity also applies to the way that an individual behaves both personally and professionally, and is a true measure to the worth of the degree that is earned.
