Strong organizational culture (Madu, 2007) thrives on core values which is acknowledged and respected by everyone in the organization. Core values are the guiding force for employees and they require minimum regulation to govern themselves.One such theory is proposed by Ansoff and McDonnell which says that organizations identify opportunities and threat in outside environment and change themselves to exploit the opportunities and counter the threats.
