Your state university has been recognized by its peer schools for having a healthy culture, particularly in its responses to recent weather disasters that resulted in the loss of homes for more than 500 students, faculty, and staff. Could clashing subcultures still exist in your university? For what reasons?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes. As long as the subcultures are compatible with the overarching culture and are supportive of the strategy execution efforts that these subcultures may come into conflict with at your university, this is not problematic. Values, beliefs, and practices within an organization-particularly, in universities-sometimes vary significantly by department, geographic location, division, or academic unit. Multiple cultures pose an unhealthy situation when they are composed of incompatible subcultures that embrace conflicting philosophies, support inconsistent approaches to strategy execution, and encourage incompatible methods of people management.
