ABSTRACT
Why Be Concerned with Organization Culture? To answer this question, we must first answer another question: “How are security and culture linked?” The answer to that question lies not in what we know, but in what we don’t know. Although we take it for granted that security is an indelible part of individual and organizational life, the definition and extent of that need varies greatly across any population of people and organizations. After all, if it is simply “common sense” to ensure security, of what use is the answer to the question? We should simply implement as much security as we possibly can and consider the job done. Of course, such a simplistic application of common sense could lead an organization into excessive spending and crippling constraints on employee productivity.
