Impact of Globalization on Organizational Culture

Question: Discuss about the Impact of Globalization on Organizational Culture. Answer: Introduction Globalization, in the recent few years is seen to have redefined the structure and trend of organizational culture. With the changing employee demographics and market globalization the organizational culture had to adapt certain changes in order to survive the overall effect of globalization on the internal environment of the organizations (Bushe and OMalley 2013). The study aims to evaluate how globalization has been causing major changes in the organizational values and ethics. Aims and Objectives This project attempts to investigate the areas where globalization has imposed significant transformations changing the traditional values. The aims and objectives as proposed in the following will assist in achieving this aim: To probe into the reasons why globalization caused a transition in the organizational culture. To identify the areas where the changes have taken place. To evaluate whether these impacts are positive or unfavorable for the new-age organizations. A Brief Methodology In order to analyze and investigate the above mentioned objectives, a brief methodology needs to be followed. The undertaken methodology will consist of the following measures: Literature Review Organizational culture is viewed as the eventual way to address all the problems of the organization. Many of the researches conducted on the organizational change have been management-centric; however, the ideal approach to find out the truth is to observe meanings of change, experiences and actions of all engaged. Due to globalization, the term universal civilization is in vogue, which if referred to here, conveys the blend of eastern civilization of western culture (Cavusgil et al. 2014). Besides, with growing grievances against discrimination within the organizations, the corporate cultures have become tolerant in the recent few years. Another impact of globalization almost impossible to avoid is that globalization has significantly given rise to global visions in the corporate cultures (Alvesson and Sveningsson, 2015). Since, at present all the major companies have become multinational, the cultural barriers have dissolved and organizations strive to adopt a global outlook inste ad. Besides, due to globalization, many obscuring regional values have been resurrected to take a place in the organizational culture so that the companies can easily establish their identities in the local market (OReilly III et al. 2014). Surveys and Collecting Data The research will be conducted based on qualitative data analysis through surveys and interviews. To acquire qualitative data several persons in the management level of some renowned multinational companies will be interviewed to obtain their experience of changing organizational values and ethics. Next, a survey will be conducted on the employee opinion on how they feel about the changes taken place in their respective organizations. In addition, the survey will attempt to generate an overall opinion whether globalization has had positive impact on the companys performance (Crane and Matten 2016). Observing Key Changes in the Organizational Culture Estimating critical information about the companies altering organizational culture from their CSR reports the specific trends of change will be identified. These reports will also explain how the organizations have been adaptive to these changes and have successfully survived the market risks. There will be one method used for analyzing the data collected i.e. qualitative. However, the data will be collected through two different ways, surveys and interviews (Pieterse 2015). These measures will be examined based on analytical model of organizational culture, which is also referred to as indeterministic model. In addition, Edgar Schein model will also be employed in order to analyzed the acquired qualitative data.
