Understanding group Culture
Question Description
Defining and understanding the elements of a group culture is essential to
forging a professional identity either online or in person. These elements are
important because they reflect how professionals interact, whether online or in
person.
An industrial or work place culture consists of different occupations, roles and
statuses. A hospital is an excellent example of a number of people working in
close proximity representing different occupational groups. Patients, nurses,
health care specialists, surgeons, administrators, security, and support staff
groups all function together but may be identified by their equipment, behaviors
and language, and the tools and training used to get their work completed.
In this Assignment you will write a descriptive report about the culture of a
group of people, a company, or an organization based on background research and
an interview of a professional person who is part of that culture.
