DEFINITION
The $183 billion merger between America Online (AOL) and Time Warner in 2001
was the largest in U.S. corporate history. It was also a disaster. Only 2 years later,
the stock had fallen an astounding 90 percent, and the new company reported
what was then the largest financial loss in U.S. history. To this day, Time Warner
stock—trading around $32 per share in late 2011—remains at a fraction of its
former price (around $200 per share before the merger). Culture clash is commonly
argued to be one of the causes of AOL Time Warner’s problems. As one expert
noted, “In some ways the merger of AOL and Time Warner was like the marriage of
a teenager to a middle-aged banker. The cultures were vastly different. There were
open collars and jeans at AOL. Time Warner was more buttoned-down.
HOW A CULTURE BEGINS
HOW A CULTURE BEGINS
• It’s founder
Cultural creation occurs in three ways :
1. The founder hires and retains only those employees who think and
feel the same way as they do
2. They indoctrinate and socialize these employees on their ways of
thinking and feeling
3. The behavior of the founders themselves encourages employees
to identify them and they internalize their beliefs, values, and
assumptions
