Cameron and Quinn

Cameron and Quinn developed a framework for understanding organizational culture, identifying four main types: Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy. Each type reflects different values and behaviors within an organization. Clan cultures prioritize collaboration and family-like relationships; Adhocracy cultures emphasize innovation and risk-taking; Market cultures focus on competitiveness and achieving results; and Hierarchy cultures value structure, control, and efficiency. This framework helps organizations assess their culture and identify areas for improvement, ultimately guiding them in aligning their practices with their goals.
