Culture, Climate and Ethics Memo Dreamlink’s culture has been characterized by generational gaps and differences in attitudes and beliefs. The ability to collaborate and execute various roles is influenced by several elements. Firstly, employees from various parts of the world must work together to ensure the success of the organization. However, various barriers have hindered this achievement. The business world is ever-changing. As such, it is essential to ensure constant updates of the way of doing things within the organization. The organization’s climate has seen a tremendous improvement over the years. Based on the survey results obtained from last year, it is evident that the organization has made important steps towards attaining its goals. However, there has been insufficient reporting of the results obtained from the survey. In broader terms, the organization has failed to communicate the current climate to the public.

Organizational ethics plays a major role in shaping the conduct of…
Culture and Ethnic Identity The United States of America is referred to as the land where dreams come true. The statement of America is a nation where anything is possible; it is not a fact for every individual who lives in the US. The opportunities that are there in the country are mostly preserved or given to the natives and no immigrants. In the history of America, the issue of the authority and the government being unfair to the immigrants in the country due to racial segregation has been evident. The fact that most immigrants are harassed and profiled by the government creates a rift between the natives and the immigrants. Latinos are one of the biggest groups of immigrants in America, but to most of them, it is not what they expected it to be, and they do not share in the saying of it being the heartland of a nation. As of the 2000 United States census, the Latinos, also known as the Hispanics comprise approximately 12.5% of the total population in America. Latinos are widely spread in…

organization culture within Runway magazine company in the film “The Devil Wears Prada As it is the case with almost any group, institutions usually have and function under many distinct cultures. Within the cultures transpires the prospective for creativeness, diversity, coordination, exploration, and achievement. Built-in those underlying forces, however, is also the possibility for unethical and unhealthy practices, which eventually effects not only the institution but the employees working within the institution as well. Caustic managed institutions can also realize success within a deleterious atmosphere. Indeed, some institutions thrive under these strategies to remain competitive in a certain industry. An imaginary example of such institutions which thrives under the above dynamics can be found in the film “The Devil Wears Prada.” This essay aims at scrutinizing the organization culture within Runway magazine company in the film. The management style as seen in Runway best fits a contingency tactic.
