Corporate Culture Introduction Widget employees have been working for almost 14yrs in a very outcome oriented environment prior to their acquisition by Generic Software Company, which is a fast paced organization, operating as a flat hierarchy, featuring teams and participative management. The new CEO, Mary Gofast faces the challenge to bring about required changes in the corporate culture, structure and job design to function efficiently with minimal financial losses. The major areas, which need immediate attention, are 1) dealing with large number of middle managers 2) increasing the profit margin and quality of products.
