Then think about organizational performance in relation to organizational capabilities and address the following in your initial post: Do you agree with the statement above? Why or why not? How does organizational culture affect capability and performance? For example, an active, participative culture is essential for encouraging organizational learning. What do you think about the organizational culture and capabilities of Companies A and B and their role in the two companies' performances?
This discussion topic will span two weeks to Module Eight. In Module Seven, you will investigate metrics for determining success in an innovative organization as well as critical factors that can help identify organizations that will be successful at innovating. Over the next two weeks, you will apply and discuss Göran Ekvall's method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified. In Module Seven, review the creative climate document and then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet (both the document and worksheet are located in the resources area of Module Seven), which assesses Ekvall's ten dimensions of a creative climate for your current organization; alternatively, you can measure another organization by interviewing one of its employees. Then, write about your thoughts and address the following in your initial post: Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall's ten dimensions? Are there any additional dimensions that you think should have been included? Which dimension of creative climate was the hardest to evaluate? Share any insights or thoughts about the creative climate for the organization you evaluated. Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest scores. In addition, upload the following file: Your completed Ekvall's dimensions of a creative climate assessment using the dimensions of creative climate worksheet
