ABSTRACT

This scenario or culture determines the output of the organization more than any other factor including education and skill of the people working in the organization. It is because of this factor that organizational culture must be considered in any effort toward strategic planning. Strategic planning for a particular organizational culture is possible only if the future direction is either consistent with that culture and the direction it is heading, or the culture feels such a pressure on its possible continuation that it is willing to break with its past in order to have a future at all. Some organizations, of course, would rather perish than to change to something inconsistent with the values in that organizational culture.
