	Organizational Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

		The OCP has been identified as a measure of culture (and values as one facet of culture) at the organizational level (Agle and Caldwell, 1999:345), and as one of the top ten culture instruments in use today (Agle and Caldwell, 1999:367; Howard, 1998; Judge and Cable, 1997).

	Downsizing And Organizational Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

	Building Organizational Culture--Word by Word -- Tamara Woodbury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If the culture within an organization fails to evolve and change as rapidly as the social conditions in the community and society, the organization's culture often loses sight of the commitment or purpose that brought people together in the first place.
		Sustaining positive and meaningful changes in an organization requires the perseverance of leadership throughout the organization at both the staff and volunteer levels: leaders who recognize, model, coach, and reward the behaviors that reinforce the culture they and their organization are seeking to build.
		However, even the matriarchs of the organization, who often acted in the past as the gatekeepers of the old organizational culture, are beginning to find their own pathway to personal growth during this process of transformation in our organization.

	Organizational Culture
		The beliefs and ideas that organizations hold about who they are, what they are trying to do, and what their environment is like have a much greater tendency to realize themselves than is usually believed.
		Since organizations do have a shared history, there will normally be at least a few values or assumptions common to the system as a whole.
		Because culture is so deeply rooted in an organization’s history and collective experience, working to change it requires a major investment of time and resources.
