Culture Types

Definition: Culture Types is an organizational culture model by Terrence Deal and Allan Kennedy combining feedback speed (speed of feedback and rewards) and degree of risk (uncertainty) into four types of corporate culture:
1. Tough-Guy Macho Culture (fast feedback and reward, high risk)
2. Work-Hard, Play-Hard Culture (fast feedback and reward, low risk)
3. Process Culture (slow feedback and reward, low risk)
4. Bet Your Company Culture (slow feedback and reward, high risk)
