The Rise and Decline of the Democratic Organizational Culture in the South
African Labor Movement, 1973 to 2000. By: Buhlungu, Sakhela. Labor Studies
Journal, Mar2009, Vol. 34 Issue 1, p91-111, 21p; Abstract: From 1973 to 2000, the
emerging black union movement in South Africa made efforts to construct a collectivist
and democratic organizational culture. The development and decline of this culture
correspond with three phases in the history of the black trade union movement. Political
and economic changes in the past fifteen years have affected this culture, specifically
the unions' political engagement and new pressures arising out of globalization. However,
although it is true that union democracy in the South African labor movement is under
stress, it is premature to conclude that this labor movement has become oligarchic.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND THE
DEPLOYMENT OF SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES. By: Iivari, Juhani;
Huisman, Magda. MIS Quarterly, Mar2007, Vol. 31 Issue 1, p35-58, 24p, 13 charts, 2
diagrams; Abstract: This exploratory study analyzes the relationship between
organizational culture and the deployment of systems development methodologies.
Organizational culture is interpreted in terms of the competing values model and
deployment as perceptions of the support, use, and impact of systems development
methodologies. The results show that the deployment of methodologies by IS developers
is primarily associated with a hierarchical culture that is oriented toward security, order,
and routinization. IT managers' critical attitudes of the deployment of methodologies in
organizations with a strong rational culture (focusing on productivity, efficiency, and goal
achievement) is also worth noting. Based on its empirical findings, the paper proposes a
theoretical model to explain the impact of organizational culture on the deployment of
systems development methodologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]; (AN 23963630)
