Description
Final Project Part 1:Culture Analysis Paper
You will be asked to analyze an organizational culture. This could be the organization you work with, or it could be some other organization to which you have access. Remember that clubs, associations, and churches can be considered organizations.
Research (data gathering) should include (but does not need to be limited to) mainly primary sources.
Primary data is the data collected by the researcher themselves, i.e.
- interview
- observation
- action research
- case studies
- life histories
- questionnaires
- ethnographic research
Secondary sources are data that already exists
- Previous research
- Official statistics
- Mass media products
- Diaries
- Letters
- Government reports
- Web information
- Historical data and information
Collect your data and analyze it. Describe how you collected the data (observation, interviews, surveys).
Then, analyze the organizational culture along three dimensions: artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions. Give examples of behavior, speech, or symbols that illustrate your findings. This paper should be 5-8 pages in length. Any data used (interviews, surveys, websites, etc.) should be attached as appendices.

Purpose of the Report
The Seventh Day Adventist Church Organizational Culture
Organisational culture is among the key elements that analysts use to study and determine the
interaction mechanisms within an institution. The issue of culture cuts across organisations of
diverse nature, for instance, the business environment, clubs, societies and religious institutions. The
ultimate success of these organizations lies largely on how smooth the organisational culture helps
the members to execute their mandate and responsibility within the confines of the organisational
structure or towards the external players. It is important to note that there are no defined
expectations of what kind of culture would be most appropriate for an organisation (Glisson, 2015).
The reason is simply that the aspect of culture in an institution is something that develops from the
members and is therefore owned and appreciated by the involved parties. In this discourse, we will
delve into a discussion of the organisational culture of a church institution ad that is the Seventh Day
Adventist Church. The Seventh Day Adventist Church Organizational Culture
