How would the study of the collapse of the financial markets vary if you were using a concept of “culture as variable” or “culture as root metaphor”?
What will be an ideal response?
If you studied the financial collapse using a concept of “culture as variable,” you would be looking at elements of the culture that “caused” faulty decision making, and trying to change the culture so it didn’t happen again. If you were looking at the meltdown using a concept of “culture as root metaphor” you would be trying to understand the unique interactions of culture and interactions that would help you understand the collapse in new ways, not with the view that you could “fix” the organization, but for understanding for its own sake.
