Project Management and Bureaucratic Culture 
– by Sasi Kumar, I.S.P., PMP
Bureaucratic culture is a key factor in an organization’s overall behavior and existence. It affects everything from decision-making processes to morale to project deliverables. In a survey conducted by the American Management Association (AMA), along with their global affiliates, it was found that “positive corporate cultures are associated with the greater facilitation of change initiatives.” The  survey further found “positive corporate cultures are more receptive to change and adapt quickly to meet new challenges,” as opposed to strong cultures, which are resistant to change.
