Dominant vs. Subculture in Organizations

Organizational culture is the shared perception held by its members. A dominant culture reflects the core values of the majority. Subcultures develop in larger organizations, reflecting common issues or experiences within specific groups or departments. Subcultures include the dominant culture's core values, plus unique values specific to their department. If organizations were only composed of subcultures, the power of organizational culture would be diminished.

1. Attenuation: Attenuation refers to the loss of signal strength as it travels through the transmission medium, such as copper cables or fiber optic cables. It can occur due to factors like distance, cable quality, and interference. Attenuation can lead to a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in errors or loss of data.

2. Noise: Noise is unwanted electrical or electromagnetic signals that interfere with the desired signal. It can be caused by external sources like electromagnetic radiation, electrical equipment, or crosstalk from adjacent cables. Noise can introduce errors or distort the original signal, affecting the accuracy of the transmitted data.

3. Delay: Delay refers to the time taken for a signal to travel from the source to the

REFERENCE

When we use a word to refer to something, we are using its reference function. This function allows a word to "pick out an extralinguistic referent in the universe of discourse." References can be specific, non-specific, generic, or particular.

DENOTATION

Denotation is the meaning we have in mind of the class of entity or the prototypical entity that the word designates, rather than the characteristic features of the entity.

SENSE

A word fulfills the ideational/representational function when language is used to evoke ideas in our minds about the world. The sense of a word consists of knowing the characteristics that differentiate one entity from others. Generally, the larger the range of denotation, the smaller the sense.
