Perhaps we don't get to scrutinize to much about the type of workplace we are into. I do, until I happen to come across a survey form which identified four (4) cultures in the corporate realm:
Hierarchy Culture. A structured and formalized workplace where leaders act like coordinators. This type of company typically has several traditional layers of management, and emphasis is placed on following the chain of command. A business that adheres to formal rules, regulations and bureaucracy is demonstrating a hierarchy culture.
Market Culture. A competitive workplace with leaders like hard drivers. This culture is similar to hierarchy culture in its emphasis on organization and control. However, the marker culture places value on the external relationships with customers, suppliers, and creditors, believing that successful relationships will increase the company’s competitiveness.
Clan Culture. A friendly workplace where leaders act like father. Clan corporations typically have a flat internal structure, led by a single leader as paternalistic or mentoring influence.
Adhocracy Culture. A dynamic workplace with leaders that simulate innovation. The adhocracy culture places most importance on flexibility and innovation. Adaptability and quick reactions to the changing market, competition and external environment is an integral component of corporate strategy in this type of business. The emphasis is always on growth opportunities and employees to experiment with new ideas.
NewGen Culture. Group of dynamic people who are competent and works with focus on customer needs, efficiencies and stable yet innovative processes. Team highly valued teamwork, work life balance, empowerment and capability development across organization. Instil core value that will serve as our pillars in building our people such integrity, responsibility, respect and love for family.

So which culture do you want your own workplace to have?

My company is a cross between Market and Clan culture. We see our president as a big daddy. However this culture is also weak because it compromises professionalism in a way.
Ours is desperately led to being transformed to NewGen culture... I said "desperately" because management keeps making amends and bow its standards just to keep people fro leaving. Sounds a little nice though, still it has gray areas to consider
