SAE 8C corporate culture model for business competitiveness

Abstract

It has been claimed that the prosperity of an organization does not lie in its tough management program or management tools, but in its cultural elements rooted in an organization and its distinctive corporate culture. Asks how organizations can fully inspire the passion of all employees and deploy their strengths and talents and what organizations can do to assist employees in pursuing their career path. In order to survive and thrive, any organizations, independent of their size, should form their own beliefs, values and work ethics. Presents the SAE 8C corporate culture model, which has a strong base of ancient Chinese wisdom of The Analects of Confucius. This model influences the employee step‐by‐step in a progressive way and has four levels: infancy, childhood, adulthood, and parenthood. Describes also another add‐on self‐initiated continuous benchmarking process, the SAE 6C self‐actualization, used for further self‐advancement.
