Profiling Organizational Culture: Using Grid-Group Cultural Theory as a Lens to Take a Snapshot of an Organization’s Culture

This article draws from grid-group cultural theory (GGCT) to develop a survey instrument that allows to take an “adequate snapshot” of the culture of an organization. It specifies GGCT’s typology into 15 dimensions, situated in the two-dimensional space defined by the cross-tabulation of the grid an...
