1) Orthogonal subcultures
Orthogonal subcultures are those group of organizational members who would
simultaneously accept dominant values when they also hold their own unique individual
basic values, beliefs, and assumptions. These subculture is identified by its congruency
with the dominant culture but not become threat to the core values of the organization.
For example, marketing division has basic assumption to sell as many as possible whether
credit or cash. In contrast, finance divisions basic assumption is Cash is King so the
quicker they receive cash, the better. Marketing and finance division both accept
dominant values of organization when retaining values related to their occupational
identities.

2) Eight steps change management Kotter
1. Establish a sense of urgency
For change to happen, it helps if the whole organization really wants it. Develop a
sense of urgency around the need for change will help organization spark the initial
motivation to get things moving. In this step, organization examine market and
competitive realities and also identify and discuss crises, potential crises, or major
opportunities. Their eagerness to change need to be directed and guided to the change
process can begin, here manager will create the guiding coalition.
2. Create the guiding coalition
Convince people that change is necessary. This often takes strong leadership and
visible support from key people (manager) within organization. Managing change
isn't enough, manager have to lead it. Organization must select and recruit a group of
individuals who will be capable of carrying out the change and lead the change effort.
In this step, organization need to encourage the group to work together as a team, and
a manager will need to create a change vision.
3. Develop a shared vision and strategy
Create a change vision can provide employees with a clear understanding of what the
change is all about. A clear vision can help everyone understand why their manager is
asking them to do something. When people see for themselves what organization is
trying to achieve, then the directives they're given tend to make more sense.
