The document discusses two topics:
1) The greening of organizational culture. A study examined manager's views on shifting company culture to be more environmentally friendly. It found awareness of green issues but resistance to change and differences between stated and actual norms can hinder cultural changes. Larger and more diverse samples are needed for further research.
2) Corporate pre-compliance and compliance with social responsibilities. Laws now incentivize social responsibility reporting. Stakeholders pressure companies to comply with duties. Shifting to responsible culture requires training, manager commitment, and change agents to initiate and monitor cultural evolution towards exceeding compliance.
