Reflective report
As my task of school for accomplishing decent evaluations, I have been appointed this
venture of Podcast and Script by my teachers which I have to submit alongside my other four
individuals from group. I have been assigned this project of Podcast and script by my teachers or
professors that I require completing effectively using most appropriate tools, methods and
theories. The case study of Dam construction in Uganda, it is found that there are various issues
regarding organization culture have affected the performance of Charles Martin and other
employees working in the project. This report is an aggregate endeavors result of whole
gatherings performing different prerequisites and requests of task. There are different distinctive
leanings which can be accomplished from the said and talked about which can help an individual
like me and my different individuals from group in creating and maintaining on the best level.
This tasks have turned into the reason for compelling and better experience which has picked up
by expert and individual abilities (Schermerhorn and et.al, 2014). An understudy need to take in
a great deal from their reports and discoveries which we have endeavored in this task. The vice
president of the Hydro Generation business firm was not satisfied with the working method of
martin in order to further analyze cultural issues in the organisation I identified the key problem
raised in the organisation mentioned in the case study. The various key issues I identified related
to organization culture are as described below -
 The Project manager wanted the employees to work according to local working methods
or style instead of following American working pattern as he believes it is more effective
but the Vice president of the organization doesn't agree with this.
 The Project manager wanted to work according to the legislation applied in Uganda but
the Vice president did not support due to the organization's policies and ethics.
 Vice president and Project manager of the company are different from each other, sharing
different values and thoughts. Prior one was not caring about any strict policy or
regulation but later the other wanted the policies to be followed strictly by each and every
individual working in the project of the company.
I identified the above issues related to organisation culture as observed from the case of the
podcast and script. With regards to aspects area, the whole system show me distinctive
specialized components for making proper and legitimate task (Zhu and et.al, 2015). So I have
been performing in negative way and face absence of information and data which interlinked

with different activities and practices in legitimate way. Additionally, this will take additional
season of dig for investigating and assessing all report and researchers examine for getting new
statistical data points. After planning and breaking down whole podcast report, so I and my
colleagues are able for estimating distinctive creators and researchers in restricted day and age
(Arifin and et.al, 2014). It is valuable and help in increasing abnormal state of realizing which
ought to be in future time allotment. For entire process, learning style help me in upgrading
numerous abilities and information at work put. So I require performing diverse parts and
capacities for augmenting learning aptitudes. This will help in expanding my ability and
productivity in working. These issues were related to the organisation culture and cultural
difference among the individuals at various level of the company such as Project manager, Vice
president etc. In order to analyze these problems further I identified various theories related to
organisation culture such as Power culture, role culture, Task culture and Person culture. These
theories are can be applied in the given case within my selected podcast a script. The theories I
identified are useful in determining various issues related to the organization culture and their
impact (Carlos and et.al, 2014).
 Person culture – I used the first principle or theory in order to understand cultural issue in
the case of my podcast, The person culture is not applied in the cast chosen by me as the
company is not following an individual culture. The company changes its working
culture and method according to the need of the changing market or trends in the business
environment. I identified that company in the case study has a multicultural structure as it
has different types of employees working together in the project. These differences in
culture developed a conflict situation in the company (Grealish and et.al, 2016).
 Task culture – I also identified that the organization culture can be understood by another
approach known as the Task culture. Task culture refers to the theory if allocating various
tasks among different employees according to their skill and capabilities. I used this
concept to understand the organisation culture in the Hydro Generation company, the
company is following Task culture to some extent. As each and every individual is
assigned specific roles and responsibilities to perform in the project.
Alongside this, general learning aid basic circumstance for surviving their activity. It can
help an identity to stand uniquely in contrast to others since they are having a greater amount of

learning than subordinates (Guldenmund and et.al, 2017). This task have shown me different
aspects and down to earth leanings that is connected with this task and developing a podcast
report. This has shown me distinctive perspectives and idea of possibility learning alongside its
help for completing the hierarchical structure in compelling way. There are different
administration hypotheses existing in the market, for example, incredible man theories, vote
based theories, absolutist authority theories and so forth. Likewise, as we were working in the
group, we have one of those driving style in our gathering venture to deal with the entire task
without issues and obstacles in the sorted out way (Corfield and et.al, 2016). The advanced
theories was just style that advance viable support of whole individuals from aggregate in the
basic leadership methodology giving them break even with introduction chances to take part in
the task. This the real rationale to use these theories that has demonstrated exact and more
suitable in respect of regarded work or task. Keeping in mind the end goal to get upgrade and
underlined work execution and spur the imaginative thoughts and view of people that aides in
finishing the task. The entire finishing of task showed individual leanings as well as has shown
me the qualities and shortcoming of entire colleagues agreeing which different issues and issues
can be distinguished. It additionally gave another experience that group working abilities not just
aides in meeting a legitimate and more inventive work extends yet in addition helps in upgrading
the work profitability inside an organization. This is one of the best approach that can be
upgraded by any individual, group or organizations. It likewise disposes of the entire loss of
gathering individuals if there should be an occurrence of disappointment in the entire venture
whether the misfortune is monetarily or in other way (Crane and et.al, 2017).
I also showed my efforts in providing the best solution for the problem related to
organization culture such as group meeting, training and development programs for the
employees, understanding of the organizational culture by the managers and employers in
company etc. The Podcast helped me to learn and develop effective skills related to the concept
of organizational culture and working methods. It also supported me to understand the impact of
organisation culture on the internal environment of a company and its employees such as
conflict, communication gap etc.
