Briefly, define what organisational culture is and what organisational identity is.
ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE ORGANISATIONAL IDENTITY
• Basically, this is a set of adopted and accepted values, norms, customs, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours, traditions that govern the ultimate conduct of people within any given organisation or company.
• It reflects the mentality, work ethics, policies and procedures of the organisations.
• It is that which is ingrained in the behaviour, conduct and perceptions of employees in an organisation that brings out, shapes or moulds the “personality” of an organisation.
• Organisational culture is that strong unique component of culture that is created by an organisation that bears a distinct atmosphere that brings either a sense of belonging, can make someone what to be associated/identified with the organisation or vice versa. • Organisational identity is that component which is central, enduring and distinctive about and

• Organisational identity is the bridge between the organisation’s position on the outside environment or market place that is drawn on the foundation of the organisational culture.
• It lies on the internal views of its drivers, the human component of it all and the views or feelings of an encompassing atmosphere that attracts a spirit of association/belongingness and partnering with the organisation that employees and/or even outsiders feel drawn to.
• It reflects structure which encompass business registry, performance on the stock exchange, production of financial statements and tax liabilities or obligations.

What happened to the lost colony of Roanoke? It all began in 1587 when a group of Englishman settled in Roanoke. Food was scarce so Governor John White headed back to England to get them some supplies. It took him three long years to return and when he did much to his surprise no one was there to be found. Not even his wife and children. This has left a trail of theories throughout the years of what really happened but no one will ever really know.
Simon Saran is a forced to be reckoned with. His on-again-off-again relationship with Farrah Abraham has been documented through Teen Mom OG. The two are apparently off at the moment, though that doesn't mean there isn't a reconciliation possible. Because Saran has been a huge part of the MTV franchise, the show offered him his own special. This is a big deal because the ones who have been offered the same have all been married to or have had children with the star they were attached to while filming.

Organizational culture is the summation of the underlying organizational values manifesting as collective assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, expectations and norms. Grounded in the customs and
A belief in what the organisation is looking to achieve will allow individuals pride and drive to motivate them.
Defining the identity includes the businesses mission statement, philosophy, and how it wants to be seen by other companies and consumers. In order to find the information of a company to define it and create its mission statement, the information needed is already established by how the company does business. For example, a company who cares about the environment will recycle, use renewable energies, handle their waste properly, etc. The information provided about ToolsCorp is not actually enough information to provide the identity and mission statement.
A descriptive methodology will be used to determine the current culture of the Organisation, through research and survey from the Organisation’s website and from current employees. This is going to give us a general picture of the current culture and also analysed to determine how effective the current culture is.
The intent of this paper is to look closer at what the author, Chris Grey, describes how organizations are losing their link with the communities they are from.
Organizational culture is the personality of the organization. Culture is comprised of the assumptions, values, norms and tangible signs (artifacts) of organization members and their behaviors. Members of an organization soon come to sense the particular culture of an organization. Culture is one of those terms that are difficult to express distinctly, but everyone knows it when they sense it. For example, the culture of a large, for-profit corporation is quite different than that of a hospital which is quite different that that of a university. You can tell the culture of an organization by looking at the arrangement of furniture, what they brag about, what members wear.
One of the forces that corrupts the revolution on the farm is tyranny destroying history, culture, and language. While the animals are singing their favorite song, Orwell writes, [Squealer] announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, “Beasts of England” had been abolished... “Beasts of England” was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act.

By encouraging people to become part of the culture and making goals consistent, it brings about this idea of reshaping individuals within the work place. In this context, individual identity refers to ‘a work-based self-concept, constituted of a combination of organizational, occupational, and other identities that shapes the roles a person adopts and the corresponding ways he or she behaves when performing his or her work’ (Walsh and Gordon, 2008, p47). This highlights the idea that in different organisations, individuals will act differently in line with either the rules the company sets out or its culture. However, it is important to recognize that identity within the workplace is only one aspect of an individual’s identity. To further this, Watson, 2006, p96) highlights the concept of process-relational thinking and how this implies that identities are adaptable and tend to change ‘as the person shapes and reshapes
Based on the society of interdisciplinary business research, corporate identity has eight different determinants that are corporate design, corporate culture, corporate vision, corporate, industry identities and auditory. The term of CI design was first put forward by American in the 1960s,which means the enterprise management concept and spirit culture, using the whole communication system, especially the visual communication system, convey to the enterprise internal and public, and make it produce a consistent identity or values of the enterprise, so as to form a good corporate image and sales promotion product design system.

The shared characteristics and, in some cases, perception of employees create what is known as organizational culture. A strong culture constructs a unified employee atmosphere, whereas a weak culture lacks a shared sense of distinction between employees. An employee’s heritage or individual culture, although different than, affects the overall organizational culture of companies. Like society, sub-cultures exist within organizations. Formed by departmental function, geographical location, and/or the personalities of employees, sub-cultures include employees who continue to adhere to the organizations’ overall culture, but have additional independent characteristics. Employees’ individual heritage, along with the culture and
