- In addition, consider the ideas and information exchanged in this week’s Discussion. Continue to analyze essential elements of organizational culture and evaluate the influence of culture on the ability to achieve goals within your selected organization.
To complete:
Write a 3- to 5-page paper in which you:
- Provide a description of the organization you selected
- Present your analysis of the organization with attention to:
- Its mission, vision, values
- Strategic plan, goals, and objectives
