Basically it is a subset of managementactivities concerned with understanding, predicting and influencing an individuals behaviour inan organisational context.Sports Direct International Plc is a public limited company founded by Mike Ashley in 1982.

Organisational culture can help in improving the performance of team by providing a satisfiedworking environment which will help employees too think better and coordinate with otheremployees. Organisational culture at Sports Direct can affect the organisations performance andproductivity. To overcome this problem managers of Sports Direct can provide guidelines toemployees on satisfaction of customers, quality and safety of products, and concern for theenvironment. Cultural differences acts as a barrier to communication at Sports DirectInternational, as they could affect an individuals ability to build connections and motivatepeople(Bolton, 2010). So, Hoftstedes dimensions of culture were determined to create effectivework environment.Hoftstedes cultural dimension theory was developed by Geert Hoftstede in 1980. This theory isthe framework used to determine the differences between various cultures and their impact onbusiness environment. Hoftstede identified various categories to define culture. They are:Situation of achievement of goals and objectives.There is the problem that organisation is unable to achieve its goals and objectives as per theplans and target. Due to this culture of Sports Direct is getting affected. To overcome thisorganisation can make use of this model. Power Distance Index - Power distance index is the extent to which less powerfulpeople are treated in an organisation and expects that the distribution of power takesplace unequally.Power Distance index helps Sports Direct International to treat theemployees working at every level equally.Individualism vs. Collectivism - Individualism dimension indicates that greaterimportance is given on attaining personal goals where in case Collectivism ofcollectivism greater importance is given on the goals and well-being of a group.By usingthis dimension Sports Direct International can focus on the goals of both individuals andorganisation(Burke, 2017).Uncertainty Avoidance index - This dimension indicates the extent to whichuncertainty, ambiguity or miss happening is tolerated and helps in determining howunknown situations, and unexpected events are being handled.By the use of uncertaintyavoidance index Sport Direct can measure the level of uncertainty and how thesesituations will be handled.

On thecontrary, Feminity implies modest, nurturing, cooperation and concerned with the qualityof life.Use of this dimension at Sports direct will help in traeting all the genders at equallevel. There will be no gender discrimination(Cartwright and Cooper, 2014).Long-term Orientation vs. Short-term orientation - Long-term orientation focuses onachieving long-term growth and involves delaying in short-term success. Short-termorientation focuses on the success to be achieved in near future and emphasizes on quickresults.Sports Direct international focuses on attainment of long term objective in orderto make sufficient growth in business.Indulgence vs. Restraint - This dimension considers the tendency and extent to which asociety can fulfil its desires. Indulgence refers to the extent to which society allows freegratification related to having fun and enjoying life. Restraints refers to the extent towhich society suppresses gratification of needs and regulates it through social norms. Bythe use of this dimension Sports Direct international, employees can have a comfortablebusiness environment which will help them to work more effectively.Charles Handy's model of culture:Situation- managing and maintaining the internal environment of the organisation.There is the problem of increase in disputes and conflicts among the employee's of Sports Direct.Management can focus on using this model.
