intangible asset of such organization Culture helps the organization to reduce the conflict, coordinate and control, motivate the employees and enhance the competitive advantages By reducing the conflict, culture cements the organization’s members who may be unified in terms of understanding, evaluation, and selection and action orientation When the organization is faced with conflict tends, members are unified by the culture When a complicated decision is required, culture helps the organization to narrow down the options to be considered, motivate the employees so that they may master their job objectives and orientation, creating the good relationship between the employees and a convenient and healthy working environment Organization culture plays an important role not only for
