Corporate Culture ‘Buy In’

Example: StarbucksEmployees are empowered by management to

make decisions without having to first report to management, and are encouraged to think for themselves as an entity of the business. The culture towards employees can be described as �relaxed' and supportive. Starbucks has avoided a hierarchical organization structure and has no formal organizational chart. It is evident that employees at Starbucks share common goals. An employee was quoted as saying; "We all have this common belief in the product we sell".
