Culture – Charles Handy Role culture – the temple metaphor  Organisations are structured along functional lines with clearly established lines of communication between the different functions coordinated by senior management Senior Management Lines of communication between the functional areas Role Culture Under what circumstances is a role culture beneficial?  When the external environment is highly stable - the market does not change and competitor behaviour is predictable  When the internal environment is also stable - the tasks undertaken are easily defined and the desired outcomes predictable  Employees are expected to no more and no less than that expected of them Role Culture What are the disadvantages of role culture?  Little innovation  Inflexible  Not a “learning organisation” How relevant is this to retail banks, give examples? Task Culture   Organisations that are The “matrix” structure task/project oriented are described as having a “task culture” Employees work in multi-disciplinary teams to complete a The thicker lines represent the sources of power, usually based specified task on key areas of expertise relevant to the task Task Culture Characteristics of a task culture organisation  Power is often based on expertise rather than formal position  Team work and performance is extremely important  Organisations tend to be flexible  Centralised control from the top can be problematic  The organisation will tend to emphasise the importance of its “people” rather than its “systems” Task Culture What are the strengths and weaknesses of a task culture based organisation?  Strengths - flexible, responsive, adaptable - a learning organisation suitable for an unstable external environment  Weaknesses - lack of central co-ordination, wasteful, difficult to manage and control, danger of “mavericks” “loose canons” In what ways is this relevant to retail banking? Person Culture  Rare in business - the organisation structure is largely irrelevant - each individual within the organisation has their own personal objectives and targets This normally applies to a social group rather than business group The “galaxy” diagram Members exist as individuals within a loose organisational setting Organisational Culture The “cultural web” (Johnson & Scholes 1991) organisation culture can be understood and defined through a web of inter-related formal and informal structures and relationship that exist internally and externally to the organisation  The combination of these defines the “cultural paradigm”of the organisation This can be understood in terms of:  What the organisation “feels like” Cultural Web Johnson & Scholes (1991) Stories Rituals & routines Symbols Paradigm Controls Power structures Organisation structure Cultural Web What would the cultural web of retail banks have looked like in the 1980s?  Stories - senior managers getting “chopped” or promoted for great failures or successes - the “heroes” and “villains”  Symbols - remote HO, executive dining facilities, size of silver coffee tray and office according to status, branch layout separating staff and customers Cultural Web     Power structures - formal: regional directors, managers, assistant managers etc informal: a long serving “Mafia”, “the old-boy network” Organisational structure - hierarchical, one-on-one reporting, autocratic, strict job grading Controls - heavy, standardised manual procedures, branch inspectors Rituals & routines - follow the procedures, not step out of line, grading & promotion rituals, mortgage relief .. .Stakeholder Analysis Stakeholders - who are they?  A stakeholder is anyone who has an expectation regarding the behaviour or performance of an organisation Stakeholder Analysis ... expectations of the stakeholders must be met - especially those stakeholders with substantial power and interest in the organisation  Stakeholder Analysis A word on culture:  The culture that exists... on time Payment Long-term relationship Safety & security Contribution to comm Improved competitiveness Compliance Stakeholder Analysis Stakeholder analysis represents the political context within
