Handy's typology: It represents the organizational culture into four types:
 Power culture: Power is held by only top management of Richer sound and have their
rules and regulation and delegate the authority to their subordinate.
As and individual every employee know their power and knows whom to report, everyone is
clear about the work have to be done and knows whom s instruction to be followed(Janićijević,
Nikčević, and Vasić, 2018). Whereas, as a team there is chain of power distribution and
everyone knowns their responsibility and work.
 Task culture: Task are the activities to be done by every employee of the company which
have to be performed to complete the projects.
As an individual everyone has their own task to be preformed on daily basis and have to be
complete on time and report to the team leader and productivity is slight low compare to the
team work. Whereas, team leader assign the work to the individual and as a team work
productivity is increase in a company as they all work together.

 Role culture: Roles are set by the company on the basis of responsibilities given to every
employee. This is based on the rules of the company and are in a form of chain structure.
As an individual, every employee have their own role and responsibilities in the company and
delegate the power to their subordinates. Whereas, as a team, team leader delegate their power to
their subordinates and is responsible for the work done by their team member in a Richer
sound(Kovach, 2020).
 Person culture: Employees working for the same organization is called people culture.
Individual employees see themselves as a superior and in a unique position. Whereas, as
team, it is a collective of employees which work for a particular project for the Richer
sound.
French and Raven’s Forms of Power: This power is used to influenced other
employees in the company and Richer sound uses with five different forms:
 Legitimate power: It is a power derived from the position as a leader or occurs as a
formal relationship and legitimate the power to the leader. As a team, managers are the
leader of their team and have the legitimate power for his team and employees have to
follow their leader(Kapoutsis, and Thanos, 2016) Whereas, when it comes to individual
legitimate power every employee know their leader to report under and no miss
communication occur.
 Reward power: Reward is the benefits giving to the employee of Richer sound by seeing
the performance and as team manager encourage the work of the employee by giving
credit and promoted to upper level. Whereas, at the individual level it gives the self-
satisfaction to the employee for the good performance and receiving reward from Richer
sounds.
 Coercive power: This the forcing the employee against their will for the work and from
the team view managers force the employee to work on the time to meet the target given.
Whereas, from the individual view it causes the people to leave the company and give
dissatisfaction.
 Expert power: This power derive from the experience and expertise from the work. As
team this expertise influence other from the skills and experience from the past work that
help the team to complete the task effectively. On the other side, an individual can get
more skills from the expertise skills and learn from experience of the leader.
