Cultural organization is
value, norm, belief, behavior and assumption which is a shape how people in
organization take an actions and do things that they can. Value is what people
believe in when they behave within the organization. Norm is unwritten rule to
regulate how people should behave. Those definitions stress that culture
organization relates to the subjective aspect from a person on understanding
what is going on within the organization.
This can influence the
values and norms covering all business
activities, which may go unnoticed. However,
culture can be a
significant effect on a person''s behavior.
Until the 1980s, the organization
is managed using the principles of scientific management of Taylor, where the
organizational structure is rigid and so maintain the line of command, managers work to control subordinates in order to work correctly and on time as planned, the top leadership is very powerful and
separation between superiors and subordinates are very strict. This
condition is clearly not sustainable in today''s organizations
are demanding flexibility
and ability to respond to changes
quickly. It required a change
in managing organizational knowledge management in order to be effective.
Because management of knowledge
is needed in the speed of accessing information, it is necessary that employees also
specifically address the issue of this
information.
In a knowledge-centered organization, every individual
in the organization need to keep learning and sharing
knowledge with other individuals in the
organization, as all the layers in the organization have an important role in developing the
organization''s knowledge base. It is important to
realize because many business
leaders believe that the era of global
economic competition, they need to have the
ability to capitalize on the basis of economies of scale, resources and talent available within the company while developing a flexible and
autonomous and flexible organizations yang. One thing that is important in these efforts is to ensure that everyone in the organization plays a role in developing, sharing
and using knowledge.
