title: Understanding corporate cultures: use of systems theory and situational analysis.
abstract: 1. A company's culture is its heroes, values, myths, and symbols. In strong cultures, the lives and productivity of employees are shaped by where they work. 2. Understanding corporate cultures, generally, and the one in which one works, specifically, can help the occupational health nurse develop and implement intervention strategies specific to that company's culture. 3. A strong culture has a system of rules dictating employee behavior. In a less strong culture, the rules and definitions are less rigid, facilitating more flexibility and less predictability.
