ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE INSTRUCTIONS
Managers perform a vital role in influencing organizational culture. Organizational culture influences the interactions between individuals and groups in achieving organizational goals. It is important that managers be able to identify and implement success strategies to restore a dysfunctional culture to a functional one. In this assignment, students will recommend a strategy and an implementation method to transform a dysfunctional culture.
Remember: This assignment and all assignments in this course have a management, not leadership focus. There is a distinct difference between management and leadership. Discuss management, not leadership. The Contemporary Management text only provides basic topical information. As a research-intensive doctoral course, you will need to research current scholarly literature. There is no assignment in this course that can be completed by relying on the text alone.
Assignment Requirements
This 1000 minimum word compilation paper will be discussing the following:
1. Recommend at least one key strategy or method that will restore functionality to a dysfunctional organizational culture, where internal distrust and competitive behavior flourishes. Justify your reasoning, with support from scholarly literature and the Bible, stating why this strategy is better than other alternative strategies through comparison and contrast with other strategies. Also discuss how you will implement this success strategy for maximum effectiveness. Be sure to mention some factors that cause dysfunction. (at least 900 words)
2. Provide new, personal thoughts related to this topic of organizational culture. Give your opinion in the form of new insights that you gained about this topic, demonstrating a synthesis of biblical principles and secular knowledge. Some suggested (not required) questions for reflection: How can spirituality be part of the culture in a non-Christian organization? What are some biblical examples of shaping a customer responsive culture? (at least 100 words)

I believe that Professor Lynch saying ‘global must be made and delivered local’ means that in order for MacDonalds to experience high levels of success, they need to adapt to their local environment. By doing this, they would have had to have come up with a strategic response to the local environment. By doing this, they could look and trends like consumer behaviour in order to meet the needs of the cultural demands.
E.g. in Japan, McDonalds offer chicken tatsuta, teriyaki chicken and the Teriyaki McBurger as well as iced coffee and corn soup. This would not be available in western countries like the UK and the USA. They had the first-mover advantage so they have been able to keep ahead of rivals trying to do the same thing.
Their approach to their chosen marketing strategy involves several implications. One being is to understanding the cultural differences to a great extent. This would help them in the think global, act local attitude they adopted as they have taken ideas from the localisation strategy. This did involve a number of challenges. E.g. it can be costly to adapt the menu to meet the needs of every different market they operate in. They also needed to take into account the differences in religion, law. There are some parts of the world where they may have faced these issues, e.g. religious beliefs may stop them from producing certain things on the menu so they needed to work around this like they have in many countries.
Are there any other implications for the way McDonalds operates its international marketing strategy?
