Four Types of Organizational Culture Organizational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values that develops within an organization and guides its members' behavior. Culture can vary considerably across organizations, with each placing different emphases on risk-taking, treatment of employees, teamwork, rules and regulations, conflict and criticism, and rewards. This activity is important because different types of cultures are better suited to achieving different strategic goals, and managers can use this knowledge to their benefit.
The goal of this activity is to challenge your knowledge of the four types of organizational culture.
Read the description of an organization's culture and write each name to the type of organizational culture it best depicts.

Bradford Services Inc. (BSI) is considering a project that has a cost of $10 million and an expected life of 3 years. There is a 30 percent probability of good conditions, in which case the project will provide a cash flow of $9 million at the end of each year for 3 years. There is a 40 percent probability of medium conditions, in which case the annual cash flows will be $4 million, and there is a 30 percent probability of bad conditions and a cash flow of -$1 million per year. BSI uses a 12 percent cost of capital to evaluate projects like this.

Required:
a. Find the project's expected cash flows and NPV.
b. Now suppose the BSI can abandon the project at the end of the first year by selling it for $6 million. BSI will still receive the Year 1 cash flows, but will receive no cash flows in subsequent years. Assume the salvage value is risky and should be discounted at the WACC.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill: Amortization and Impairment In early 2011, Bowen Company acquired a new business unit in a merger. Allocation of the acquisition cost resulted in fair values assigned as follows:

Intangible Asset Fair Value Estimated Value
Customer lists $400,000 5 years
Developed technology 640,000 10 years
Internet domain name 1,040,000 Indefinite
Goodwill 4,960,000 Indefinite

The goodwill is assigned entirely to the acquired business unit. Impairment reviews at the end of 2011 and 2012 did not identify any impairment losses. After the business suffered a downturn during 2013, the year-end impairment review yielded the following information: Customer lists are estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $200,000 and discounted future cash flows of $144,000.

The internet domain name is estimated to have undiscounted future cash flows of $800,000 and discounted future cash flows of $600,000. The acquired business unit has a fair value of $13,600,000, a carrying amount of $14,800,000, and the fair value of its identifiable net assets is $11,360,000.
