If
the first perspective was from the environment, the second is from
the inside of the Organization itself. According to this approach,
the organization is not only influenced by the environment, but in
the same way she interacts with that one. The organization is
understood as a system within which is considered culture as an
essential element of the system and is produced by the same
organization.
Culture is understood as a subsystem within the Organization, made up of the values, norms, rites, artifacts, that throughout their history they have been formed, that is transmitted to the new members of the Organization and that they are mechanisms of integration and coordination among the members of the Organization, essential to its functioning. In this process of creation of the own culture, leaders and founders of the Organization play a fundamental role. Organizational culture, as a subsystem, is in interaction with other subsystems and all of them constitute a more general system. As an open system organizational culture is thus conceived. This current insists that social is something objective and factual, in this way the organizations, its ways of life, they are picked up by its members as something external to themselves and their standards, guidelines, rituals, etc. as something imposed from outside.

Within
this perspective, it is understood that culture is one variable over
the Organization and forms with other variables such as structure,
size, technology, etc., of the 17 global system of the organization.
Culture within this current acquired a more subjective character and
refers to the symbolic processes that occur within the organization.
For this current which meets culture in the organization aims
cohesion between members as well as the control over them for
efficiency in its functioning. According to this current the
fundamental role of culture is to provide to the Organization of the
cohesion necessary to meet the challenges as many internal and
external. The way to do it is not bureaucratic, i.e. through
regulations, the exercise of authority, etc., but by values, beliefs,
patterns of shared behaviors, and which give to the Organization of a
strong internal drive. Within this perspective you can place the
current structural - functionalist sociology studying organizations,
systemic currents, schools of human relations, etc. As authors who
have consecrated this vision of the culture of the Organization have
to Firestone and Wilson (1985), Deal and Kennedy (1985), Peters and
Waterman (1984) Qwens (1987), Sergiovanni (19870), among others...
