The management in the making / influencing of a decision. In accordance to these criteria, the Competing Values Framework identifies four categories of organizational cultures:
Hierarchy, in which a strict chain of command is implemented
Market, in which control is sought, but emphasis is placed on customers
Clan, in which greater emphasis is placed on flexibility, rather than control, and fourth
Adhocracy, in which emphasis is placed on independence and control.
Finally, the Denison Culture Model is less structural and less focused on the creation and identification of specific types of culture. It is in fact constructed on a quarter of a century of research and its focus is that of aligning the organizational culture to the organizational features and goals. The Denison Culture Model is based "on the link between organizational culture and bottom-line performance measures such as return on investment, sales growth, quality, innovation and employee satisfaction" (Denison Consulting).
Unlike the previous two models which create several culture categories, the Denison Model creates two surveys which are used to ensure an alignment between organizational values, features and objectives and the organizational culture. These two surveys are:
The organizational culture survey, and the leadership development survey.
Their scope is that of correlating leadership and culture at four distinct dimensions -- mission, adaptability, involvement and consistency. The analysis goes even further to test the four dimensions,...
It strives to define and create culture by understanding all of its impacts within the organizational climate. Also, it creates opportunities for economic agents to develop their own cultures, based on at least 12 dimensions of their operations. These reasons constituted the rationale behind TUIU's decision to use the Denison Culture Model.

Management: Organizational Behavior American workers have been brought up in a society that emphasizes individuality, thus it will be difficult for them to readily accept the notion that group-based rewards are as beneficial as individual ones. Though Americans are used to the 'team' work concept, many still prefer receiving individual recognition for their achievements. This is due in part to the emphasis on individual achievement and competition evidenced in many organizations. Job
