Case Study: Crudeoil

1. The environment of an organization and how they conduct theirselves is called organizational or corporate culture. Performance is built from a positive culture through motivating and engaging. The board of directors brought in a new manager, Jim Stone, because of his reputation for achieving results. As he kept up his reputation, he created a hostile and intimidating work environment for the employees. He was an aggressive man that lacked morals and ethics. He was only concerned with keeping his impeccable reputation in achieving results.

Conducting meetings on leadership and going over their policies regarding morals and ethics is a way CrudeOil could reincorporate this core value of respect back into its organizational culture.
