«УПРАВЛЕНИЕ МНОГООБРАЗИЕМ» КАК СРЕДА ДЛЯ СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЯ КОРПОРАТИВНОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ

The vast majority of Russian managers have already realized for themselves the fact that human resources are the resources that determine the sustainable development of any modern company in priority. In such economic conditions, the question becomes relevant: “How exactly to work with these important but difficult resources, how to increase the productivity and efficiency of personnel and make them more interested in the results of their work and the organization as a whole?” This article is theoretical and methodological in nature and is devoted to the problems of the need for the formation of corporate cultures in the context of the growing number of companies with a pluralistic workforce. In this regard, the relevance of improving corporate cultures in the period of innovative development is substantiated. The article clarifies the conditions for differentiating the concepts of “corporate culture” and “organizational culture”, as well as the possibility of their synonymous use. Based on the specification of the concept of “modern organization”, the analysis of the concept of “diversity management”, as well as the study of the main reasons for the growth of the number of companies with a heterogeneous workforce, it is proposed to use “diversity management” as a platform for employees to fully disclose their social and labor potential and the basis for improving corporate culture in order for personnel to make the maximum contribution to improving the efficiency of organizations. As a result of scientific research, a step-by-step technology for developing a program for improving the corporate culture of enterprises in the conditions of diversity management is proposed, the number of activities (stages) of which may vary. This program may be of scientific interest to corporations, enterprises, individual divisions (branches) and, directly, managers of various levels.

Роль та значення корпоративної культури в діяльності вітчизняних підприємств

Annotation. Introduction. Corporate culture plays an important role in business environment. As the activities of the staff, their attitude towards each other influences the activity of the enterprise, managers should pay attention and introduce a corporate culture in order to increase company’s efficiency. The phrase “corporate culture” firstly was used in the nineteenth century in military terminology by a German field marshal Moltke for relevant relationships in the official environment. There are many definitions of the concept of “corporate culture”, but there is a certain difference in the interpretation of the concept with the change of years and the depth of its research. Purpose. Modern business conditions require the introduction of corporate culture, so the leaders of domestic enterprises are increasingly seeking to apply foreign experience without exploring the differences between the Ukrainian market and foreign. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to study the role of corporate culture in domestic enterprises, as well as to identify the features of the formation of corporate culture in Ukrainian enterprises. Results. As a result of the research, we were found that corporate culture as a tool of personnel management is used in only 55% of domestic enterprises. In our opinion, it is necessary to promote the introduction of corporate culture in domestic enterprises, taking into account the national mentality and social values, and for this it is necessary to develop clear tools of corporate culture, basic principles and principles, and algorithms for their implementation in enterprises. These issues need detailed consideration and will be considered by us in further research. Conclusions. Summing up everything we can say that corporate culture is not only an instrument for managing the workforce of an organization. It forms an enterprise from the inside, influencing its image and profits. The presence of corporate culture in enterprises is a competitive advantage among others in the industry. Keywords: corporate culture; competitive advantage; personnel management; labor resources; enterprise efficiency.

Corporate Culture as a Tool for Competitiveness Improvement

Corporate culture as a set of opinions, value systems and behaviour standards is unique for each organisation and represents specific character of its functions. It is apparent in behaviour, mutual interaction, self-understanding and understanding of surroundings. Knowledge of particular levels and basic elements is an essential factor for getting familiarized with this many-sided phenomenon. The objective of the paper is to propose changes in corporate culture of the analysed enterprise. The research was focused on defining the opportunity for improvement and strengthening the corporate culture in the enterprise. Internal documentation analysis of the enterprise and employee opinion survey carried out using a written questionnaire, were the basis of analysis. Changes in corporate culture of the enterprise aimed at the components of manifestation which are not so visible or are missing were proposed on the basis of gained information. The analysed enterprise and also its surrounding can benefit from the proposed changes in corporate culture. The result allowed us to familiarise with the most visible forms of corporate culture in enterprises and to propose ways how to improve and strengthen them.

A libertarian theory of rights and future generations

The central question in preserving the rights of future generations is how to ground a theory of rights that is also acceptable to the present generation, including staunch Republicans, without self-contradiction. Such a theory of rights consists of the three principles of a minimalist liberatarian theory (that of Robert Nozick), and demonstrates that environmental degradation is a violation of this theory of rights; a theory that is compatible with a free enterprise corporate culture. It is shown that no appeal to liberalism is necessary. It is shown that the case is not based on some ideals of justice but on three politically conservative principles that all modern societies accept as being fundamental to the continuation of those societies.
