Has anyone heard of Drennan and his 12 factors in which you can recognize a corporate culture? He is the one who said culture is 'The way we do things around here'. There's so little on him and his theories on the net.

12 Culture Factors of Drennan

Drennan (1992) proposed twelve key factors that shape the culture of a business. These are:
1. Influence of a dominant leader – the vision, management style and personality of the founder or leader in a business often has a significant influence on the values that the business tries to promote;
2. History and tradition of the business – how things have always been done (and why);
3. Type of technology used by the business and the types of goods and/or services it produces;
4. Industry or sector the business is in, and how much and what type of competition it faces;
5. Customers of the business – who they are and what they expect;
6. Company expectations – based to a large extent on past performance;
7. Types of information and control systems used;
8. Legislation and wider business environment;
9. Procedures and policies within the business – ever-evolving, but often a good indicator of underlying values;
10. Reward systems and the measurement of performance;
11. Organization - how the business is organised and resourced;
12. Goals, values and beliefs – reflected in objects, actions and language.
