Beliefs, values and ideology are at the heart of organisations.

Individuals hold
certain ideas and value-preferences which influence how they behave and how
they view the behaviour of other members. These norms become shared
traditions which are communicated within the group and are reinforced by
symbols and ritual.

Hofstedes Model of Organisational Culture : case of IIT Roorkee

It is made of 3 layers around a core. The core stands for the values of a certain
culture, which is not moving a lot. It mostly remains the same. Even if something seems
to be outdated, it still can subconsciously play a role in the present. That includes
individuals as well as groups

Symbols
Symbols are the most overt element of culture and are the gestures,
objects or words recognised by those who are part of the same
organisational culture .Symbols carry a particular meaning within a
culture.
