IT Cultures
* Organizational information cultures include:
- Information Functional Culture > Employees use information as a means of exercising influence or power over others. For example, a manager in sales refuses to share information with marketing. This causes marketing t need the sales manager's input each time a new sales strategy is developed.
- Information-Sharing Culture > Employees across departments trust each other to use information (especially about problems and failures) to improve performance
- Information-Inquiring Culture > Employees across departments search for information to better understand the future and align themselves with current trends and new directions
- Information-Discovery Culture > Employees across departments are open to new insights about crisis and radical changes and seek ways to create competitive advantages.
Hope that the information written will give advantages to all
