Impact of Culture on Organizational Development: Case Study Kosovo

Abstract

In today's environment of competitive business, the level of satisfaction of the requirements of the market is an increasingly more important element for organization to be effective. For this reason, each enterprise has its culture which provides the basis for the recognition of behavior in it and one of the key factors for its success. In the literature we often encounter the culture in terms of environment in which enterprises operate, but often the object of our study was the culture in the society. However, the culture can be discussed in the context of its impact on an enterprise, and that in essence it does not differ from the discussion of culture in the society. Also the in an enterprise is based on certain values and norms. Since studies have shown that companies that have been successful in the market for a long time have had a strong organizational culture but also adaptable, we will try that through this paper to analyze how culture affects on an enterprise, giving the fact that culture has a significant impact, both on the organizational effectiveness of competitive advantage or as a controlling and integrated mchanism in a business organization. We Will also understand how organizational culture can facilitate but also prevent changes in organizations with an enterprise culture, and those organizations with a rigid culture such as bureaucratic organizations. Through this work we aim to answer several research questions related to organizational culture in an enterprise, with a special emphasis in Kosovo.This project shows which factors affect organizational culture, as we view the organizational culture, as a whole of values, traditions, norms, standards of conduct, and common expectations within an enterprise. To achieve this goal we stop pause to review the factors that influence organizational culture in an enterprise, and finally to identify the impact of dimensions of organizational culure on the organizational effectiveness in enterprisess in Kosovo.
