Abstract
Organizational cultures have always been present in businesses. But it was not until the 1980s that many people began to show interest in it when culture started becoming a powerful factor in differentiating companies. Currently, there are a lot of organizational cultures. For my part, I will present 2 types of approaches to organizational cultures. The first has been defined by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld (Professor in Practice of Management at the Yale School of Management and Harvard Business School). He describes this culture in 4 types: Academy Culture, Culture Club, Culture Fortress and Baseball team culture. Then we will study the theory of Handy (Irish author/philosopher, specializing in organizational behavior and management) who describes 4 othertypesof organizational culture.
