Value of organizational culture

Organizational culture can determine the success and failure of a business and is a key
component that strategic leaders must consider in the strategic management process.
Culture is a major factor in the way people in an organization outline objectives,
execute tasks and organize resources. A strong organizational culture will make it
easier for leaders and managers to motivate employees to execute their tasks in
alignment with the outlined strategies. At organizations where lower-level managers
and employees are expected to be involved in the decision-making and strategy, the
strategic management process should enable them to do so.

particular strategy does not match the organization's culture, it will hinder the ability
to accomplish the strategy's intended outcomes.
