SUMMARY:Department Speaker Series: Scott Page (University of Michigan\, Business\, Political Science\, Complex Systems\, and Economics)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Scott E. Page (University of Michigan\, Santa Fe Institute). (website) \nTitle: Organizations and Cultural Coherence \nAbstract: I construct a mathematical framework to elucidate and analyze the interdependence between structural features of an organization and some of its cultural attributes.  By the structure of an organization\, I mean whether individual actions are assigned hierarchically\, agreed upon through a more equal democratic process\, or encouraged through incentives.  By culture\, I will focus on standard measurable features such as tightness\, individualism\, trust\, risk taking\, and uncertainty avoidance.  I show that congruence – the alignment of organization structure and culture – though an often articulated organizational goal does not\, except in rare cases\, imply efficiency.   The creation of a healthy\, constructive culture and not congruence should therefore be the goal of organizations. \n
