Raz Update of Schein's Organizational Culture Model
Aviad Raz published an update that tries to deal with these two problems. First – he puts together both the professed culture and the tacit assumptions, and set them against the norms – so there are values – the wishful situation - which one can measure by reading papers and interviewing, against the norms which are really happening, and that one can measure by observing and interviewing. Second – Raz suggest to treat the attributes only as the physical objects at the organization – then, the term becomes much more accurate and stronger.
The strength of the organizational culture will be measured through two gaps – Objective gap – the gap between the values and the norms. Subjective gap – the gap between the values and understanding of the employees of what the values are. If these two gaps are not excised or mild – then there is a strong organizational culture.

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or model:
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When Titian was mixing brown madder,
His model was posed up a ladder.
Said Titian, “That position
Calls for coition,”
So he lept up the ladder and had her.”
—Anonymous.
