Question.4594 - Instructions for the Organizational Cultural Assessment Paper100 pts.Choose a work group (work team) you are familiar with, preferably the work group or a project team you are currently working with. Rate the OACI Now and then Preferred for this group according to your own perspective. (The form for this has been uploaded to Moodle. It is an Excel file and has been built so that when you enter data on the first page, the second page will automatically do the calculations for you). This exercise would be more meaningful if you are able to get the entire team to also complete the OACI and then create the CONSENSUS set of ratings (as described in the text). If that is not possible, for the purpose of this assignment, you can treat your individual ratings as though they were the outcome of the consensual process. Just keep in mind that any conclusions you draw cannot reasonably be applied to the whole group because you have just one sample. Create the Organizational Culture Profile graph and each of the six cultural dimension graphs (use the powerpoint slide deck that has been uploaded to Moodle.) You must either submit your powerpoint file or integrate your graphs into your paper. Either approach is acceptable as long as you make your graphs available for me to review. In your paper, analyze the data for: Type, Discrepancies, Strength, Congruence (between dimensions; and, discrepancies in dimensions – there should be several, highlight 3-5 that are most significant and explain what you speculate may be the source), Comparisons, and Trends. See pages 80 – 94 for additional help. Based on your analysis, complete the “What culture change means/does not mean” chart. This is located as the last slide in the OACI powerpoint graph slide deck. This can be submitted as part of your powerpoint file or integrated in your paper. Provide a summary of key findings. Paper needs to be written in a professional, objective tone, using one-inch margins, 12 pt. font, double-spaced and two pages minimum. PLEASE be sure to address EACH row of the grading rubric.
