Session 8: Corporate Culture and Strategy
Company A is a consulting partnership associated with an
accounting firm. Here the emphasis
always provide broad general services to meet clients' needs in a
professional manner, under
partner supervision. The result is reliable but risk-averse
customer service;
and belief in the company that it could turn its hands for
anything. Since the 'product' is seen
by many people such as the report at the end of the task, the close
supervision of the task and
especially report writing is considered important and is reflected
by careful attention to monitoring
consulting activities, as a way to ensure professional service,
utilization
time and the control of costs. This was supported by a
super-structure of partners, many of whom
were chartered accountants, whose role was not always very clear
but who jealously guarded a
fragmented and informal organization structure, and cultural
trappings, preserving their
influence, autonomy, and power. By the late 2020s, new senior
partners believed that the
consultancy lacked focus in the face of more targeted competitors,
but it was an organization
with any number of ways to frustrate the change agent.
