Expert Solution
Step 1

The founder's values and norms are a part of the organization culture. Values and norms determine how the employees in an organization should act. Values are the general see of beliefs and norms are the rules that everyone is expected to follow. In an organization, the value and norms are being deployed by the founders. Based on their vision the founders determine the norms and values for their respective organizations.

However, it takes time for the employees to get acquainted with the organizational norms and values. The leaders need to communicate their vision with their employees so that clarity can be developed. When the employees start believing the ideas then it becomes easy for them to respond in the cultural setting. They would know what is expected out of them and how they need to deliver. The organization culture can't be built overnight. It takes time for all the members to indulge in the cultural setting. The adaptability can be further improved with the help of trainings which will ultimately enforce the core values.
