ORGANIZATIONAL ESSAY
Theoretical concepts and ideas on organizational culture implied on Google:
The behaviors and values are the most important psychological and social factors for a successful
organization. The organizational culture means organization’s philosophy, experience, value and
expectation which are actually responsible for holding the organization’s image, interactions
with the outside market, future goal and expectation, work environment of the organization. This
organization culture has always a huge impact on the whole organization and especially on their
managerial departments. Google is one of the best among all existing IT companies which
maintains the organizational culture along with technological and successful business
innovations. As we know organizational culture is all about maintaininng the values. As we all
know employees are the most valuable asset for an organization (Sminia 2017). Thus keeping
them happy and secure with our company is the most valuable consideration of that company,
which can be found inside Google. The work environment is always healthy and competitive.
People who worked here feel privileged as they can learn various new things and lessons as well.
This will enrich them not only in their work but in their life as well.
Devise actions aimed at improving the current situation:
The recent survey conveys this organization currently facing so many issues from inside and
outside. There is a case of sexual harassment against two shareholders of this organization. These
kinds of controversies create a negative impact on their reputation and existing cultural values. In
such cases the other existing IT companies like Yahoo; AOL can take the position of Google
taking advantage of their condition (Travica 2015). To avoid such condition this organization
needs to solve all of their problems. To solve their taxation issues Google needs to consult their
legal team and in such cases, the legal team need to be very well experienced and efficient to
handle this kind of situation. In case of the privacy issue, the hackers there are a large number of

the hackers are present outside. Thus this organization needs to focus on their security system. In
such cases, Google needs to recruit well experience and efficient software technologist to
overcome this scenario. In case of the sexual harassment issue, Google needs to set up an enquiry
commission to investigate this case.
Coping with future challenges:
Google always follows a well structured organizational culture which makes them one of the
most prestigious organizations. Most of the new engineers dreamt about to get a chance to work
in this organization. According to the organizational culture this organization is always ready to
face all of the new challenges (Collyer 2016). Nowadays technologies are upgrading. Google is
also updating their technological appearance and approaching new platforms to all of their users.
The CEO of this organization Sundararajan Pichai worked very hard to make Google more
famous and make this organization vintage. As we all know the employees are always
considered as the main asset of any organization. Thus Google needs to be more considerate and
conscious in order to choose their employees. According to the organizational culture,
experience and efficiency is the most important thing for their ever increasing development. The
employees must be well efficient and well trained to face new challenges every day (Will, Al-
Kfairy and Mellor 2019).
