Power culture: In this type of culture, power is accumulated by few people and theseindividuals prefer to take important decisions related with an organisation. This culturefollow different rules and employees are judged in accordance with their achievementsrather than the manner in which they perform their duties. For example, adopting thisculture will benefits Ryanair in taking quick and timely decisions but this culture can turntoxic if management in Ryanair will over utilize their power and start suppressing theexpectations of employees (Bester, Stander and Van Zyl, 2015). Role culture: This organisational culture is based on rules and roles. This kind of cultureis highly controlled where every employee is familiar with its duties and responsibilities.Here the authority of a person is decided in accordance with the role played by themwithin a firm. In case of Ryanair, this culture will improve organisational productivity aseach employee will be given tasks in accordance with their roles and knowledge. But thisculture results in slow decision making due to which accomplishing tasks may take alonger time. Task culture: In this culture, specific teams are formed to accomplish a work or task inan organised manner. Managing task in a systematic manner will benefits Ryanair inachieving their desired success and targets. Power in this culture, shifts according to thecomplexity of tasks.
