From the Paper:

"The emergence of the importance of the concept of organisational culture has occurred in the post world war two global environment, where markets have become increasingly competitive. As organisational environments have become increasingly turbulent, the need for constant adaptation to create efficient and effective processes has increased. "When environments become unstable, then people need first to make meaning in order to see what, if anything, there is to decide" (Weick, 1994, p158), and organisational culture helps employees make decisions."
