The article introduces a methodology which has been developed to sustain an enterprise's organizational culture and its potential to regulate various aspects of organizational life. Organizational culture, the paper posits, is a basic organizational construct, which forms a distinct social discourse of a production company. In the document's view, it combines the effect of the institution's functional and social cultures, respectively, aiming to minimize the existence of intra-organizational transaction costs and of extra-organizational interactions with the entity (for the most part, due to the employees' high variability and their low predictability). Functional culture, by contrast, is focused on the creation and maintenance of a system of mandated behavioral activities that tend to contribute to a pattern of behavior with a focus on the company's strategic objectives. Social culture, a third division noted by the review, embraces the activity-relational aspect of organizational culture. It regulates the ratio of employees to the requisites defined by their professional activities, and provides rules that are not directly related to the operation of the organization. According to the blueprint, the development of any important company is characterized by functional and social cultural consistency in values and norms, offering evidence of meaningful coherence. The critique deals with a situation of real and notional content coherence, and proposes a method of value assessment. Its technique is based on the collection and analysis of opinions by the entity's employees, dealing with the nature of their labor and social behavior. The study also identifies the results' statistical objectivity in phases such as data collection and processing.
