Group F Answer

Organizational culture is a critical aspect of a company's success, and its implementation can differ greatly from one organization to another. Organizational culture is defined as the structure of an organization such as a company and the values, sociology, and psychology of that organization. It is important because it defines the proper way to behave within the organization. In this report, we will explore two well-known companies' approaches to implementing organizational culture, including the reasons behind their choices and how they align with what we have learned in this module.

Nike places a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion as part of its organizational culture. To ensure that diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of its operations, the company has taken several measures, such as implementing diversity training for all employees, establishing employee resource groups focused on diversity and inclusion, and partnering with organizations that promote diversity and inclusion, like the Women's Sports Foundation and the Human Rights Campaign. Nike's emphasis on diversity and inclusion aligns with what we have learned in this module regarding the importance of a diverse and inclusive organizational culture. A diverse and inclusive workplace can lead to better decision making and increased creativity that include improved employee satisfaction. By prioritizing diversity and inclusion, Nike is creating a culture that supports innovation and creativity, as well as promoting fairness and equity. They achieve this by creating a culture where they gather perspectives from all, ranging from all professions such as scientists, athletes, designers, coders, and more. Nike has also demonstrated its commitment to diversity and inclusion through its advertising campaigns, which feature diverse athletes and address social issues. For instance, the company's "Dream Crazy" campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick sparked controversy, but it resonated with many consumers who appreciated Nike's bold stance. Nike illustrated their ongoing commitment to stand with/for the values that will continue to make an impact on the world through sports.

Tesla, on the other hand, places a strong emphasis on risk-taking and innovation as part of its organizational culture. The company encourages employees to take risks and experiment, and it has a culture of constant improvement and innovation. Tesla's founder, Elon Musk, is known for his willingness to take bold risks and pursue ambitious goals. Tesla's focus on risk-taking and innovation goes beyond what we have learned in this module about organizational culture. We have discussed the importance of innovation in shaping organizational culture, but Tesla takes this to a new level by encouraging employees to think outside the box and take risks. As well as placing an emphasis on constant learning and environmental consciousness. This approach has led to the development of groundbreaking products and technologies, such as the Tesla Model S and the Powerwall home battery.

One way that Tesla demonstrates its commitment to innovation is through its open innovation approach. The company has made some of its patents available to the public, allowing other companies to use Tesla's technology to develop their own electric vehicles and renewable energy products. This approach aligns with Tesla's goal of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy and demonstrates the company's commitment to innovation and collaboration. However, one disadvantage of Teslas organizational culture is its pressure on employees to constantly innovate.

In conclusion, Nike and Tesla have developed distinct approaches to promoting their organizational cultures, which are well-aligned with their business models and have played a vital role in driving their success. Nike's organizational culture prioritizes diversity and inclusion, which promotes equity and supports an innovative and creative work environment. On the other hand, Tesla places emphasis on risk-taking and innovation, enabling employees to think creatively and pursue the development of cutting edge technologies. These examples illustrate the significance of integrating organizational culture with business goals and how creative and unique approaches to organizational culture can lead to a company's success.
