Abstract
The term ‘socialization’ usually evokes a strong emotional response and is often misunderstood. While it does seem to go against our culturally-ingrained ‘individualism’, a certain degree of carefully-thought-out socialization does make organizations work better - as evidenced by the success of strongly socialized firms. This article examines the ‘seven steps of socialization’ and provides a method for rating a firm''s corporate culture.
