A standard part of the training for method actors involves improvisation—creating scenes and characters without the security or structure of a script. In improvisation, characters draw on their creativity and inner experiences to create a reality with one another. The “integration” perspective focuses on consistency in cultural elements, organization-wide consensus on issues or policies, and has a negative orientation toward ambiguity. Those holding this perspective believe shared values come from inspirational leaders who unite organization members, often in response to the external environment. The “differentiation” perspective focuses on the differences in values and assumptions among members of the organization, and the tensions among subcultures competing to define organizational values and practices.
