Organizational Culture

            A Reflection on the Organizational Culture

             The organization culture at RCA Marketing, within Sony Music, was quite a well-structured one. There was a definitive hierarchy—which while limits the number of voices for creative input—also allows for a definitive formula for accomplishing tasks. My main boss was an assistant to two of the marketing managers at Sony Music. I would interact with them on a relatively limited bases, mostly to either give them call sheets or to provide them with their lunch. My main source of interaction at Sony Music was through John Engle, who I worked closely with and mentored me. Although at times I asked too many questions, it was a rather structured relationship. John would provide me with tasks with detailed instructions, which did not leave much room for creativity but would instead improve upon my meticulousness. The other interns within the organization were all provided different tasks than I was. Often I would be provided with the most “busy work” because I was the youngest intern, and the other interns had more experience at the complicated tasks. However, as the internship progressed the tasks became increasingly intricate, and my responsibilities increased. Therefore, it is clear that Sony Music’s organizational culture values experience above all else.
