文化网络的概念,帮助了解酒店业的组织文化。
“文化网”的不同元素在组织中存在的程度及其对组织绩效的影响。
In the current economic climate with a highly competitive market in the hospitality industry, the choices made by organisations in selecting their strategies to survive and progress in such an environment can have a significant impact on their performance. The culture in an organisation can have an important influence on these strategies and their success. However, this can often be overlooked or ignored by managers as an essential tool (Dwyer et al., 1999, 2000).
Using Ramada Jarvis Ealing Hotel as an example, this paper will focus on:
The concept of cultural web to help understand the culture of organisations in hospitality industry.
The extent to which different elements of the ``cultural web'' are present in the organisation and the influence they have on organisational performance.
Analysis
There are various definitions of culture. According to Sathe (1983) culture represents a set of important understandings that members of a community share in common. Deal and Kennedy (1982) define culture as ``the way we do things around here''.
In this case study, culture and the main elements of culture will be defined with the help of Johnson's cultural web as a framework. The six interrelated elements help make up what Johnson and Scholes call 'The Paradigm' which helps to analyse the bigger picture of an organisation - to see what is working, what isn't working and what needs to be changed. The cultural web has been applied to The Ramada Jarvis Hotels in order to explain how cultural influences on behaviour within an organisation come about and their impact on the organisation.

On the other hand, rituals include formal & informal organisational processes. Examples of formal processes include employee induction programmes, staff training & development workshops etc. Informal process may take shape in the form of socialising after work for drinks, morning tea/coffee breaks etc (Robbins, 1994).
Rituals also include activities that maintain cultural values and beliefs. At Ramada Jarvis, rituals such as the staff consultative meeting which is held monthly helps ensure that all staff members are informed of any important events, operational decisions and key changes. The meeting is also open to taking new ideas from staff for improvements as well as engaging employees in decision making activities. Rituals also take form of ceremonies which are thought of as celebration of organisational culture which remind and reinforce cultural values (Brow
