C/B/77. Master's Dissertation. The Negative Post-Effects that can be caused by the Process of the Organisational Culture Change (The cases of British Petroleum, IBM, US Postal Service, NHS, General Electric, and STAR)

This thesis explores the concept of the corporate culture change particularly in regards the negative post-effects that can be caused by the process of change. In order to identify these negative post-effects the case studies were conducted. The findings of the case study revealed that there are several negative post-effects such as redundancy, poor financial performance, conflicts among manager and workers, writeritarian leadership style, and not sincere behaviour of workers. Moreover, some tips for avoiding these post-effects were found. There has to be a real sense of commitment at all levels of the company in order for the change to be realised. The journey can be hard and frustrating, but it can also be a fun and challenging learning process for all involved.
