This chapter continues the analysis of organizational culture at the host Hospice under ethnographic investigation. Having discussed the cultural make-up of the ‘old’ Hospice, and then glimpsed something of the ‘new’, the study now focuses on the latter to illuminate the nature of the organization as the authors interpreted it at the time the research was carried out. In so doing, the study once again returns to Schein’s three-level culture model and primarily his analytical level of organizational ‘artefacts’, as the focus for a ‘tour’ of the case study site. This sees staff and volunteers describe in depth how they make sense of the Hospice’s physical structure and symbolic meaning, an analysis which offers a fine-grained appreciation of the socio-material composition of the organization. |
