For a 'power culture', firm control is the key element.
Decisions are made by one or a small number of people.
Power cultures are usually found within small organisations or a section/department belonging to a large organisation.
In a power culture organisation, decisions can be made quickly as there is little consultation.
However lack of consultation could mean that a firm is not able to take advantage of the skills and experience of its workforce.
Details of the four types of company culture you need to know here.
Role culture:
Power derives from a person's place or role within a highly structured organisation.
Role cultures are highly bureaucratic with detailed rules about how people and departments interact with each other, customers and sellers.
Large, well-established companies like insurance companies and banks tend to have role cultures.
Task culture:
Task culture forms when teams in an organisation are formed to address specific problems or progress projects.
Person culture:
A culture which is only there to help the individuals who work there. An example of this type of culture is architects or social groups.
It is a cluster, there to help the individuals to profit from themselves.
