IT 402 Week 3 Discussion Topic 1
           Working Within a Company Culture
Company Culture Concepts (Research)
Your initial post for this Discussion Board requires online research and the choice of one suitable source. Please view the Unit 1 Reading Resource PDF for information about what constitutes a suitable source. Do not use the textbook or library articles for this discussion; easy access for the rest of the class will facilitate better discussion.
First make sure you have done the unit reading to understand the concepts in the Cultural Web, which is one way to view a company's culture. Then search for an online article (not a book) that explains more about company culture. Research one of the following ideas: company culture and behavior change, kinds of company cultures, elements in an organizational culture, etc.
For the initial post:
·        In your first paragraph, summarize the main points of the article. Do not quote from the article or copy lists; summarize in your own words. End the summary paragraph with a proper APA in-text citation.
·        In your second paragraph, interpret the article content in relation to a situation from your own experiences. These experiences do not have to be IT-related.
·        At the end of the post, provide a full APA reference entry.
Subject line instruction: Write a descriptive subject line for your initial post in this Discussion. Donot label it with your name, the unit number, or the unit name; it should be unique and identify the content.
In your responses to others, you could compare your classmates' articles to the one you found or offer additional examples from your experiences.
