The type and style of organisational logos, premises, staff facilities, uniforms, dress codes and communications highlight cultural characteristics. Rituals and Routines Symbols The adopted control processes and methods such as financial, systems, service and quality underline the perceived importance of specified activities to the organisation. The Paradigm The pockets of real power held by individuals that does not necessarily includes members of the management structure but it can rather be any influential individual within the organisation. Control Systems Power Structures Organisational Structures Formal and informal structural systems that define relationships and activities that, consequently, influence organisational power structures.
