Special Guest Research Seminar with Soo Min Toh

Join us for this Special Guest Research Seminar co-hosted with the Centre for Research on Inclusion at Work (CRIW)!

Culture Creation and Change

While culture is accepted to shape behaviour and success of organizations and nations, from achieving organizational objectives to weathering global pandemics, what causes cultures to change and whether change occurs as intended is much less understood. Soo Min will present recent work on how organizational culture affects change and may itself also be changed. Soo Min will discuss evidence as well as new theory that have implications for cultural transfer and culture change, including how likely organizations may create cultures of inclusion.
