INTRODUCTION
Organisation behaviour is reflected as the studies which shows how people are executing
their working, how they feel and behave at work places. It is linked with the process which is
used for explaining, predicting and recognising the behaviours of individuals towards a specific
activity. It is very vital for all managers who are involved in business operations to analyse the
behaviour of employees to achieve all gaols and targets in effectual and planned ways. It also
deals in analysing behavioural aspects of all employees to establish cooperation among all
employees at work place. Growth and success of business is depended on cooperation among
employees and how working is executed (Fuchs and Edwards, 2012). BBC is a multinational
British cooperation which is involved in collecting current data and informations which are
valuable for people for their operations. The undermentioned report is based on impacts of
politics and power on performance of individuals, effects on organisation culture, impacts of
working in a team and different types of theories which are used to motivate employees by which
they can achieve all their goals and objectives.
PART 1
P1. (a) Handy's cultural typology used to discuss organisational culture.
Culture is the social behaviour and norms found in human societies and consists of range
of phenomena that is transmitted through social learning in human societies. It can include art,
music, dance, ritual and religion etc.
Handy cultural typology: - The theory which are linked with organisational culture are
given by Charles Handy in the year 1999 and it states that management should select the
organisational cultures according to structures which they are following at work places. It is most
vital factors for BBC in order to analyse all they part linked with cultural topology. Thus,
business can easily execute organisational cultures at business places.
Power culture: In multinational business firms like BBC they are having limited power
to take decisions which are beneficial for business. The organisation can be affected by powers
and decisions (Hotho and Champion, 2011). There are many individuals who are mainly
focusing on business activities as it is much important for them. According to views of Smith the
power cultures are valuable to make effective decisions so that people can be given
responsibilities which are valuable for them to achieve all their targets.

Role culture: Managers are having authorities to assign roles and responsibilities to
employees according to their skills and abilities. The main aim of this culture is linked with
utilisation of all the resources which are available in the economy in effective and planned ways.
The employees who are working at BBC are facing different challenges with their own
willingness. Smith has given his views that everyone at work place relates to one another thus
they should perform all their assigned roles effectively.
Task culture: This is an important factor for those organisations who are focusing on
team working to accomplish all their goals and objectives in effectual and planned ways. This
culture is valuable to resolve any issue that may arise at business places. Persons at work place
had to focus on achievement of organisational goals and persons must contribute equally to
achieve all gaols and objectives of business. There can be innovative ideas developed by which
working will be completed in effective and planned ways.
Personal culture: In BBC, personal cultures are important ad valuable assets for all firms
as the workers are focused on achieving all their personal goals rather than focused towards
accomplishment of organisational gaols (Kazemipour and Mohd Amin, 2011). The employees
main motive is to earn money and they are not concerned about profitability factors of
organisations.
For BBC role culture would be more appropriate as the managers and leaders are well
aware of the fact that which employee has certain qualities so according to it they will assign the
roles and task and this will increase the efficiency of the channel.
P1 (b) Influence of culture, politics and power of an organisation
Organisations are described as group of people who are working together to achieve all
their business goals and objectives. Organisational culture is linked with behavioural aspects of
people at business places the way they speak to one another, the way of dressing etc. BBC had
focused on making plans in order to develop effective cultures where employees will be working
while making coordination with one another and they are following all plans and policies which
helps them to achieve success in their operations.
Power and politics are also important factor for all business organisations as they are
making plans so that employees can be easily connected with one another. In those business
organisations who are operating at larger scales mangers are using both positive and negative
powers which are having influence on their subordinates.
