The original culture derives from the founder’s philosophy and strongly influences hiring criteria as the firm
grows. Top managers’ actions set the general climate, including what is acceptable behavior and what is not.
The way employees are socialized will depend both on the degree of success achieved in matching new
employees’ values to those of the organization in the selection process, and on top management’s
preference for socialization methods.
