Changes in a company and organisational culture

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to present the relations between the changes in a company caused by the changes of its environment and the company's organisational culture. The base of all the changes in an enterprise is the organisational culture and its change. Considering the organisational culture from the perspective of the process of implementing changes in an enterprise, we can conclude that the culture of an enterprise becomes as a "two-edged weapon". Culture is a unique image of an enterprise through each we can identify it in the light of its history, behavioural models, system of values and policy applied. If we do not understand the tradition, which constitutes the core of each company, we can advocate changes which completely misfit the enterprise and are doomed to be rejected. On the other side, many organisations quite deliberately use the change of the organisational culture as a factor supporting the change process.
