A Studies for Sensemaking
 & Identity

A Studies about Sensemaking
& Identity

Introduction: The
 relationships
 between
 culture,
 sensemaking,
 identity
 and
 strategy
 are
 important
 to
 -understand
 when
 formulating
 and
 implementing
 organizational
 strategies.
 This
 Case
 Study
 details
 how
 the
 collective
 action
 of
 sensemaking
 influences
 strategy
 formulation
 and
 also,
 how
 strategy
 influences
 the
 process
 of
 sensemaking.
Hence,
sensemaking
provides
not
only
a
basis
for
 strategy
 development
 but
 helps
 to
 understand
 how
 the
 development
 and
 active
 management
 of
 the
 culture
 and
 identity
 can
 provide
 organizations
 with
 a
 competitive
 advantage.

Case Study on Sensemaking
& Identity

Definition: On
 their
 own,
 culture,
 sensemaking
 and
 identity
 have
 fairly
 simple
 definitions;
 the
 “shared
 meanings
 and
 understandings
 of
 an
 organization,”i the
 process
 of
 the
 social
 construction
 of
 meaning
 within
that
 organization
 and,
 finally,
 the
 unique
 features
 that
 differentiate
 an
 organization.
 However,
 when
 viewed
 as
 a
 set
 of
 combined
 forces,
 this
 triumvirate
plays
a
key
role
in
 the
way
strategy
is
shaped
and
 defined. The
 crucial
 factor
 for
 understanding
 the
 role
 of
 culture,
sensemaking
and
identity
for
strategy
is
the
employee
 of
 the
 organization. Keep reading..

A Study on Analysis of Organizational Culture and Structure as a Basis for the Implementation of Knowledge Management

A Study about Analysis of Organizational Culture and Structure as a Basis for the Implementation of Knowledge Management

In the commercial world of today Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning are supposed to be indispensable prerequisites for the competitive ability of companies. Organizational learning can be considered analogous to individual learning. It is based on individual learning processes and means a change of organizational structure and/or culture with the aim of surviving in the dynamic environment. Organizational learning should be systematic and should include all the people concerned. Managers, in particular, have the potential to change an organization and therefore they should act in an exemplary way.

Case Study on Organizational Culture and Structure

Introduction: Today’s business is characterized by rapid technological developments, intensified terms of competition and self-changing values. Organisations can only remain competitive in this dynamic field if they change. Therefore, a systematic interaction of both organisational learning and knowledge – known as knowledge management – has become an important matter for organisations. It seems that the existing structures and prevailing organisation cultures, in particular, have an essential influence on the success of these efforts. This article shows that organisational learning can be undertaken in a deliberate way and that people play a leading part in this process. A case study illustrates and improves the theoretical comments and gives a lot of tips for real use. Keep reading..

Case Study on Organizational Communication

A Study about Organizational Communication

Introduction: The organization chosen for this case study on organizational communication is a small political activists’ organization for which the writer of this paper once volunteered. The organizational communication problem encountered was that the volunteer supervisor did not have projects ready during the scheduled volunteer time slots, and despite a thorough interview process to determine skill-need matches and prior verbal scheduling of volunteer times, this problem persisted for months. With the lack of a communication plan, the consequence was a diminished enthusiasm for the cause and growing level of frustration causing this writer to cease volunteering for the organization despite having a true belief in its mission.

Case Study on Organizational Communication

Knowledge: The major problem in this case study was that the volunteer supervisor was engaged in so many projects that she did not invest the time to communicate projects to delegate to the volunteer. Most volunteers for this organization worked on updating databases, solicitations, and mailings. This writer’s volunteer emphasis was on writing and doing special projects. Therefore, it was only through horizontal top down communication from this particular supervisor that these special projects could be delegated. Keep reading…

A Case Study on Social Media Use in the City of Ottawa

Case Study about Social Media Use in the City of Ottawa

Background: The City of Ottawa started to experiment with the use of social media tools during the spring of 2008.

The first efforts focused on R&D and some fundamental information sharing using RSS.

Case Study on Social Media

Innovation: Using social media tools is really not about the tools. The tools are innovative, new, and different from other tools used in the past, but they are still just tools/technologies. The fundamental innovation is in the approach to work – pooling the knowledge, expertise, and skills of employees from across the organization to work jointly on shared goals and objectives and to conduct their business in an open and transparent manner that is subject to the scrutiny of others.  Keep reading…
