The Political Dynamics of Organizational Culture in an Institutionalized Environment

Suzana Braga Rodrigues

University of Birmingham, UK, s.b.rodrigues{at}bham.ac.uk

This paper addresses organizational culture change from a longitudinal perspective. It analyses how the organizational culture of a major Brazilian telecommunications company changed during its 27-year history from a condition of integration to one of fragmentation and then differentiation. The paper identifies the sources of these changes, paying particular attention to the role of institutional and political factors. Based on the empirical data, a framework for analysing the dynamics of culture change in organizations is proposed.

Key Words: organizational culture • corporate culture • subcultures • institutional and political factors • telecommunications • Brazil
