Instructions:
You have been hired as an associate for a software company, Dysfunctional Software. Dysfunctional
Software offers support solutions to a wide range of software issues and business needs. Dysfunctional's
client list exceeds 500 businesses in the United States and 200 businesses in other countries. The company
has recently started to experience significant and rapid growth. As a result of the recent growth,
Dysfunctional Software realizes it must respond to client and market demands more rapidly.
Dysfunctional Software knows that it needs to attract and retain the highest quality employees in the
market to develop a sustained competitive advantage. Accordingly, Dysfunctional Software desires to
establish an organizational culture and climate that maximizes individual efficiency, productivity, and job
satisfaction.
Your manager, Harry Harried, has asked you to help create a recruiting video for Dysfunctional Software
that will entice potential new employees to work there and provide ideas management can pursue to
explore to ensure a positive work culture is developed that maximizes efficiency and productivity at the
corporate and individual level. He wants to portray Dysfunctional as a company with a deep commitment
to its employees, a positive corporate culture, and employees embracing its core values and enjoying
coming to work. As background for the task of developing the video, Mr. Harried provides you with a
recruiting video for Spotify, acknowledged as a world-class employer by its 30-country global workforce. Mr. Harried believes that Spotify is an exceptional company in terms of its approach to employees, its
hiring practices, its organizational culture, and its organizational structure.
You are requested to view the video on Spotify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar4lq118pAc. (You
may need to right-click on the link and open it in a new window.) Mr. Harried also requires you to read
the material he has assigned (i.e., your course material for this project).
After viewing the video read the assigned project material, you must write a report to Mr. Harried
covering the information requested below. For the report, you are using only the Spotify video and course
materials.
Use the following center Bolded and left-justified Bolded headings and instructions to complete the
project.
Introduction
Write an Introduction paragraph. The introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will
describe the paper's intent to the reader, explaining the main points covered in the paper. The introduction
ensures the reader knows exactly what is being covered in the paper. The introduction is often written
after the paper is completed. (Use in-text citations as required.)
Organizational Culture
Discuss the seven dimensions of organizational culture. (Use headings below and in-text citations as
required.)
Present examples for each of the seven dimensions of culture using Spotify's organizational culture. Your
description of Spotify's organizational culture is accomplished by extracting facts from the video and
matching those facts with the appropriate dimension descriptor. You must provide support, justification,
and, where appropriate, in-text citation for the video facts matched with the dimension descriptors. (Use
headings below and in-text citations as required.)
Seven Dimensions of Culture Discussion (Use headings below and in-text citations as required.)
Spotify's Video Facts/Examples (Use in-text citations as required.)
Competitive Advantage
Discuss how Spotify uses its corporate culture to create a competitive advantage. Provide examples
supported by your analysis, as drawn from the video information and the course materials. (Use in-text
citations as required.)

ascertained from the video, use the course material to elaborate on two specific examples to fully explain
the various types and aspects of organizational structure that you have selected from the video to analyze.

Checklist
Specific Project Requirements
Proofread your paper. Ensure your topic heading matches those above.
Read and use the grading rubric while completing the report to ensure all requirements are met to lead to
the highest possible grade.
Third-person writing is required. Third-person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or
us" (first-person writing), nor is there use of "you or your" (second-person writing). If uncertain how to
write in the third person, view this link:
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
Contractions are not used in business writing.
Paraphrase instead of quoting to show a greater understanding of the topics. Paraphrasing means you do
not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Put a passage from a source document
into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Using more than four consecutive
words from a source document would require direct quotation marks.
You are expected to use the provided weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the
reasoning. There should be a robust use of the course material. The material used from a source document
must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated
in-text citation and vice versa. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having
quotation marks.
Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text
citation.
You may not use books in completing this problem set unless they are part of the course material. Also,
do not use a dictionary, Wikipedia or Investopedia, or similar sources.
Provide the page or paragraph number for in-text citation of quoted material. Since the eBook does not
have page numbers, you must include the chapter title, section heading, and paragraph number.
For citations using a video, you must provide the minutes and second of the cited material. ●
