This document provides an introduction to social research. It discusses that research can have varying definitions depending on the person and field. Research involves collecting data and information to broaden one's horizon and advance knowledge. True research is scientific in nature - it uses the scientific method to explain phenomena and behaviors. Research is divided into inductive, which builds theory, and deductive, which tests theory. Research involves systematically investigating materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions.

- #34: Organizational culture is a system of meaning that members share and that distinguishes the organization from others. The dominant culture expresses the core values shared by a majority of the organization’s members. However, subcultures exist in any organization. Developing along departmental or geographical lines to reflect common problems, situations, or experiences faced by members, subcultures include core values of the dominant culture plus additional values unique to members of the department. If organizations had no dominant culture and were composed, instead, of numerous subcultures, the value of organizational culture as an independent variable would be significantly lessened because there would be no uniform interpretation of what represented appropriate and inappropriate behavior. It is the “shared meaning” aspect of culture that makes it such a potent device for guiding and shaping behavior.
