INTRODUCTIONOrganisations have to face an environment that is highly dynamic in nature. They have tomake sure that they are able to divert any issue and problem from causing real time damage. Thecompany’s managers have the task of making sure that they are able to avert any drastic impactupon organisation and its prime factors of production (Graham, Ziegert and Capitano, 2015).This is why they need to study and understand the concept of OB which is concerned withmanagement of group behaviours with the premises of company. Organisation behaviour allowsmanagers in identifying the issues that can impact company most crucial asset, Human resource.This report is focused on analysing as how BBC manages the behaviour of its people. It is anentertainment and broadcasting organisation that is serving in more than 130 nations. It has oneof the most diversified workforce and this is why managers need to understand the concept ofOB. In this assignment various typologies are stated in accordance to culture, as well as they willbe covered in Smith review of company. Also, there are motivational theories which are used byorganisation for making sure that each employee productivity is enhanced. There are certainbarriers too that hampers company effectiveness. TASK 1a) Handy’s Cultural TypologyThis is a model that was stated for assisting managers and organisation in understanding aswhy employees feel better in some companies while they feel bad in others. Even in Smithreview of BBC, she stated that the broadcasting company is one of those places where peopleunderstand the culture and try to adjust themselves as per the needs. there are 4 different types ofcultures that are stated by Handy and one of those is prevalent in BBC at present. They are statedbelow: Power culture: In this type of environment, a small group of people possess all theauthorities and power with themselves. They are the ones who decide about the changesand shifts in company policies and structures. Basically, this method is good fororganisations that are huge in size and scope (Huang and Bond, 2012). This is used inBBC for making sure that each employee and activity is directed in a right direction. Ithas to manage a workforce of 35000 people and for this they need a power culture wheremajor policies changes are completed easily. 1

Role culture: This is an environment where all individuals are stated about what theyhave to do. This is where they are told about their roles and responsibilities in a briefmanner. BBC can use this for making sure that all the individuals are aware regarding thethings that they need to fulfil. Person culture: This is an environment where people start keeping their interest ahead oforganisation benefits. It is not good for any company and managers in this case need todivert all the efforts in same direction and change people mentality (Lu, 2014). Task culture: This is a culture where people are stated about their task before they areassigned and once they understand as what they have to do, they are given theresponsibility of fulfilling it. In BBC, all the managers need to be assigned with duties that are compatible with their skillsand capabilities. Also, as the company is following power culture, all the orders will flow downfrom top management which needs to be done by employees. in Smith review it was stated thatthis culture is very bad and does not support new idea generation and enhancement ofproductivity. b) Way in which culture, power and politics affect the behaviour of BBCThere are different types of factors that can affect BBC capabilities in serving market asper requirement. The managers within company need to make sure that employees are able tocomplete all the task in a desired manner. this is only possible if organisation is able to divert theimpact of external changes effectively.

It has a highly diversified workforce that belong to various race,religion, creed, caste, etc. all of the people follow different set of code of ethics in their personallife (Ludwig and Frazier, 2012). This is why managers need to make policies that can standardiseculture and code of conduct for all. Also power need to be given to middle level for making themmore accountable. As per Smith review, there is still certain level of racism that exist withinBBC. So the managers need to make sure t6hat each issue is addressed in a proper manner. Basically, it is crucial for company to ensure that each task is completed in a desiredmanner. also power is delegated as per the capabilities and job profile of a person. This willenable them in avoiding conflicts and achieving all the targets on time. if this is not done in aproper manner then there will be major conflicts between people.
