Quinn and Cameron: Competing Values Model of Organizational Culture

The video explains the Competing Values Framework by Quinn and Cameron, which categorizes organizational cultures into four types: clan, adhocracy, hierarchy, and market. Each type is defined by two pairs of competing values: stability vs. flexibility and internal vs. external focus. Clan culture emphasizes collaboration and support, adhocracy values innovation and risk-taking, hierarchy focuses on structure and control, and market culture prioritizes competition and results. The framework highlights the importance of flexibility and the presence of subcultures within large organizations.
