While organizational culture is the term that reflects culture in any type of organization be it school, university, not-for-profit groups, government agencies or business entity, more concrete
business terms are corporate culture and company culture or company's culture In this exposition, I look first at the importance of the business context such as why the organizational culture contributes to the bottom line. Secondly, culture is clearly a complex subject and one we will need to explore in some detail. It refers to the totality of knowledge in an organization or society. Thirdly, we need how cultures affect organizational growth. Moreover, I tried to focus on a real estate company, namely Royal Homes Limited to establish example of good organizational culture.
Introduction
Organizational culture has been one of the most enduring buzzwords of popular management. Organizational culture is apparently unifying and this strongly appeals to managements concern

with projecting an image of the organization as a community of interests. Perhaps most importantly culture penetrates to the essence of an organization it almost analogous with the concept of personality in relation to the individual and this acute sense of what an organization is its mission, core values seems to have become a necessary asset of the modern company. There is the upset question of whether or not organizational culture can be managed. Academics interested in understanding and analyzing culture tend to say no. While there may be no definitive answer to the question, the critical and the managerial sides of the debate and inform and renew each other so it remains important to explore both.
Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is the collective behavior of people that are part of an organization, it is also formed by the organization values, visions, norms, working language, systems, and symbols, and it includes beliefs and habits. Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders.
three different countries, I have come across quite varied work place cultures, allowing me to witness different vibes at different locations. Different context and country require different culture as long as the job is done effectively and efficiently, culture is not a barrier.
Innovative organizations need individuals who are prepared to challenge the status quo, groupthink or bureaucracy, and need procedures to implement new ideas effectively.

Moreover, performance oriented cultures have been shown to possess statistically better financial growth. Such cultures possess high employee involvement, strong internal communications and an acceptance and encouragement of a healthy level of risk-taking in order to achieve innovation.
Office Decoration: Very few offices are decorated so nicely in Sylhet city and RHL is one of them. Employees Outlook: All the employees are capable to talk both in Bengali and English language fluently as the clients are both Bangladeshis and NRBs (Non Residence Bangladeshis). Every employee is dressed formally as it is mandatory in the companys code of conduct. They keep their mobile in silent mode inside the office. They only receive official phone calls and give customers quicker and better service face-to-face and also over the phone. Holidays: Only Fridays are weekly off day and other government holidays are also off day in RHL. They can take 26 days extra holidays every year. Compensation: Career with RHL can be a great opportunity as they offer a handsome amount of starting salary as well as performance based increments and promotions every year. Employees perform better, and there is a win-win situation between the employees and employer. Communication: They communicate with each other in a friendly but professional way. There is no hierarchical strictness or bureaucratic problem. So customers can get faster, further and deeper service. The supervisor and supervisee relationship is more likely than friends or mentor disciple. No Late in Attending Office: They do no late to arrive at office as wages of half day from monthly salary will be cut if they are 10 minutes late in any 3 days of the month. Actually, they come early as Sylhet is still a bit free from traffic jam unlike Dhaka. Lunch Time: Every employee get 30 minutes break between 1.30pm to 3pm as lunch break. RHL is also flexible to give extra time for the employees who do pray in the prayer room at the office. In short, I observed that their organizational culture is very flexible, free and friendly, but they are really professional. The combination of all these ensure better output of Royal Homes Limited.
Findings
The findings of my study are given below: Healthy organizational culture is very much essential for all including country, company, employees, customers etc. Weak organizational cultures may affect national growth directly or indirectly. For example, a customer may get bad service when he or she is in need of quicker and better service. Organizational cultures in private organizations are better, smarter and suitable for corporations than public organizations in Bangladesh. Impact of organizational culture is mostly in service oriented organizations.
Recommendations
At the ending part of the assignment, I would like to recommend some points below: Organizations should make its culture healthy and therefore, it should hire employees carefully and provide them proper training. There should be sound organizational culture for better output in every organization especially in service organizations like Banks, Real Estate Companies, Brokerage House etc.
Conclusion
Bangladesh is a country of possibilities and future progress. So it should maintain the trend of the corporate culture to maintain the healthy working environment. These help an organization to higher its productivity and strengthen the countrys economic and social structure. Despite all due diligence, commitment, and application, the culture may not change or it may not change in the intended direction, or even in an appropriate direction. It is an expensive and long process without guaranteed results. So In case of Bangladesh, the corporate culture the country is practicing now;

the trend of this should be continued till the visions of the corporations are not yet achieved.
