Corporate culture has a major impact on the success of an organization. In organizations with strong cultures,everyone knows and supports the organizations’ objectives. In those with weak cultures, no clear sense of purpose exists. In fact, the authors of the classic book In Search ofExcellence concluded the presence of a strong corporate culture was the single common thread among many diverse but highly successful companies such as GeneralElectric and McDonald’s.
As you can imagine, changing a company’s corporate culture can be very difficult.But some managers try to do just that when they feel the current culture is weak, or when the organization’s objectives change and the old culture no longer fits. Sometimes the competitive situation of a company changes.For instance, electric utilities, which once had their profits guaranteed by public regulation, now face more competition than ever. Firms that were comfortable competing against otherAmerican companies now find themselves fighting competitors from overseas, too.
Management expert PeterDuckers feels that, rather than trying to change culture, managers should focus on changing employees and corporate practices, as follows.

D、Specify in measurable terms what the organization or department,or office) needs to achieve.
·Determine where these results are already being achieved within the current organization.Analyze the departments that are already effective and find out what they are doing differently from the rest.
·Determine what top management can do to encourage these good results.Duckers suggests that executives openly ask what they can do to help, and then do it.
·Change the reward system—or develop a new one—to recognize these effective practices. When employees realize that the organization really does reward the new approach, they will adopt it much more quickly. Whether one wants to change an organization culture or not, it is important to choose managers and employees whose personal styles fit the organization’s goals.
B．To criticize managers who try to change corporate culture.
C．To argue against PeterDuckers’ opinion.
D、To promote the corporate culture of successful companies.
