Explain the different characteristics of strong corporate cultures and weak corporate cultures.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Strong cultures include people who understand and believe in the firm's goals, priorities, and practices. A strong culture can be counterproductive when changes become necessary. Strong cultures can breed overconfidence and inspire wrong-headed efforts. Weak cultures lack strong shared values and breed confusion about corporate goals. Some managers may pay lip service to an important behavior but behave very differently.
