An organisation has to face various factors which affects its performance and activities.
An organisation also has its norms and beliefs under which it has to perform specific tasks.
These aspects somehow affect on business profits and sales and could hinder the growth
opportunities. Richer sounds needs to analyse the all impact of their culture and politics within
an organisation performance of team and individuals.
Culture: Culture defines an organisations objective and expectations with itself which sets
particular policies and tasks that need to be perform according to the needs.
Types of culture and its influence on employee’s behaviour
Handy's culture:
power culture: This factor defines the role of individual and team by their powers which bound
them with authorities and responsibility. These power should be assign to the right individuals
which use in in a right and specific way. Powers give a sense of motivation and value to the

individual. Richer sounds need to identify the correct individual who could become a good
leader also.
Task culture: This culture defines the task within each and every departments. In large
organisations there are numerous amount of tasks and activities that need to be segmented with
departments. And task must be assign to teams under surveillance of leaders and managers.
Richer sounds must formulate separate department for TV, radio, theatres and put the right
individual to right department as per their abilities.
Role culture: This type of cultures sets the power of individual position into an organisation that
defines their role, top management play their roles in policies and strategies for formulating
where as, low manager like employees and managers work to execute tier plan effectively. These
role needs to be set appropriately in Richer sounds.
Person culture: This type of culture defines motivation strategies and effective planning for
person's growth. By way of some rewards or benefits, due to which a person's desires to work
more and achieve more.
Hofstede's Dimension of Culture
This theory is applied in an organisation in order to identify, interpret and analyse the cultural
values of the individuals working in an organisation.
Power Distance Index : It lays concern over the extent to which an organisation tolerate and
bear inequality, injustice and power. If a company exhibits a higher power index, it clearly
means that the company accepts inequality and differences in power whereas if a company
shows lower power index, it means the the delegation of power is equal in the company. In case
of Richer Sounds, the company focuses on balancing its powers and tries to promote equality and
justice in the organisation.
Individualism vs Collectivism :Individualism focuses on personal goals and aspirations of the
employees working in a company whereas collectivism lays emphasis on giving the priority to
achieving the goals and aspirations of the group and teams. Richer Sounds give emphasis on
collectivism in the company as it focuses on achieving the group goals.

Masculinity vs Femininity : It refers to the choice of selection between men and women in the
company i.e. whether the company wants hire more men or they wan to hire women . tough,
assertive and should be focused on achieving material material wealth whereas Femininity
expects a women more gentle, nurturing and honest. Richer Sounds is one company that hires
according to the desired skills and talents and ignore the gender roles. It treats women and men
equally in the organisation and hire accordingly.
Uncertainty avoidance index : It is an index that shows the extent to which the employees
working in the company bears any uncertainty or risk associated with the company. Higher
uncertainty index showcases lower tolerance for any risk or uncertainty whereas lower
uncertainty index reflects higher tolerance for risk or any uncertainty. Richer Sounds has a lower
uncertainty index as the company deals in technology bases products and services related to
television and home theatres so it has high tolerance for any risk associated with the same.
Politics :Politics is an integral part of every organisation. Workplace politics of an organisation
may influence its decision making, appraisal and compensation schemes, working environment
as well as organisation behaviour of a company. Politics is usually considered to have an adverse
or negative impact on functioning of an organisation. Hence, Richard Sounds makes sure that its
operations does not get affected by the workplace politics.
Power : Power can be defined as the authority of an individual to assign any task or duty to other
individuals working in the organisation.
Types of Power :
Legitimate: This power comes with the position one holds in an organisation and other
employees also recognizes the same. It promotes effective communication as well. Richard
Sounds exercises this power in the organisation.
Reward : This refers to the power of the designated manager to provide rewards and incentive to
the employees. Reward Power is practised in the Richard Sounds as managers have the the
power to reward the talented employees f the organisation.
Coercive : It is a power that allows the manager to demote or fire the employee in case of bad or
poor performance. Richard Sounds also provides the same power to its managers in order to
achieve the goals effectively and efficiently.
