What IOP/460 is really about

A start-up and a government agency can both have strong cultures that look nothing alike. IOP/460 uses multiple frames to analyze structure, people, power and meaning in organizations and examines how cultures form, how they are diagnosed and how they change.

Students typically compare two organizations' cultures, analyze a case with the four frames, assess whether an organization learns from experience and recommend changes to culture. Examples compare a large retailer, a hospital, a tech start-up and a city government, each with a different culture and source of power. Students also look at what happens when cultures collide during a merger.

What IOP/460’s assessments ask for

Faculty expect accurate use of frameworks, evidence about the organizations analyzed and recommendations that follow from the analysis. Claims about real organizations should be documented. Analyses should apply each frame with evidence and recommend changes that address structure, people, politics and meaning together.

Where students lose points in IOP/460

Points slip when culture is described only by slogans, when one frame dominates the analysis or when recommendations ignore power and politics. Undocumented claims about companies also cost marks.
