I am always amazed when I read stories about corporate culture
and how successful some company executives are in instilling these values in
all facilities. And the results of when
they do not. How often have you heard
"culture eats strategy for breakfast"? It is very true. According to Globoforce
Blog, six mergers were destroyed by the inability to combine company cultures.
You know a couple of the more recent ones.
Examples are AOL/Time Warner and HP/Compaq.
Frankly, I think it is a very difficult challenge. How do you
transfer a culture from one or two stores to dozens or even hundreds? Publix is an example of one that did it
right. This appeared in Fortune
magazine.
