La cultura organizacional versus la organización como cultura

Abstract

This article discusses the understanding of various speeches which have been developed about organizational culture both from a positivist outlook in which it is conceived as a variable, as well as in its semiotic vision in which it is understood as a metaphor. These two perspectives are distinguished to contrast the functionalist with the symbolic-interpretative paradigm of organizational theory. On the other hand mention is made of the models on organizational culture of Hatch and Schein, who have been subject to widespread analysis.
