Through shared values, organizational cultures can informally do all the following EXCEPT: ​

b. eliminate politics in the workplace
c. establish how cooperation, competition, conflict and decision making are handled.
d. motivate the ethical actions and communications of managers and subordinates.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizational culture includes an organization’s expectations, experiences, philosophy, as well as the values that guide member behavior, and is expressed in member self-image, inner workings, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations. Culture is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, and written and unwritten rules that have been developed over time and are considered valid (The Business Dictionary).

Organizational culture has to do with the culture of the firm, hence, it cannot eliminate politics in the workplace.
