Abstract

Organizational culture has become an important element to determine the success of organizations in various sectors. This research aims to analyze the relationship between organizational culture and organizational performance through a comprehensive literature review. With reference to key theories such as Schein's model, Denison, and Barney's competitive framework, this study explores the influence of culture on innovation, employee engagement, and adaptation to changes in the business environment. The analysis shows that a strong organizational culture that is relevant to operational needs can improve performance through various mechanisms, such as strengthening organizational identity, encouraging innovation, and building collaborative relationships across departments. However, challenges such as resistance to change, cultural gaps, and external pressures add complexity to managing organizational culture. Across sectors, culture performs different strategic functions, from driving efficiency in manufacturing to strengthening the culture of innovation in the technology sector. This research concludes that organizational culture becomes an internal element, and a strategic tool to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Organizations that are able to leverage their culture adaptively and innovatively have a greater chance of surviving and thriving in the global market.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of a school culture that does not support collaboration on the learning opportunity gap between students with different social and academic backgrounds. A school culture that prioritizes individual competition and does not encourage cooperation between students has the potential to exacerbate inequalities in learning. In such an environment, students from weaker social or academic backgrounds often do not get an equal opportunity to interact and learn together with more fortunate students. As a result, they become isolated and lose opportunities to improve their academic understanding, which further widens the gap in academic achievement. This research highlights the importance of creating a culture that supports collaboration in the classroom, which can provide greater opportunities for all students, including those who are marginalized, to learn together and share knowledge with each other. Collaboration between students is the key to reducing this inequality and improving the overall quality of learning. Schools need to adopt a more inclusive approach, one that prioritizes collaboration and cooperation among students to facilitate more equitable and equitable learning opportunities. In addition, it is important for teachers to be involved in training on how to support collaborative learning in the classroom.

Abstract

This study investigates the sociological function of informal leadership figures in shaping public opinion within community environments. It aims to identify and analyze the mechanisms such as cultural proximity, symbolic capital, and interpersonal trust that enable these figures to act as intermediaries between communities and broader political or informational narratives. Through a literature review approach, it examines how individuals who are not formally elected or institutionally appointed nonetheless exert substantial influence on collective perception and civic behavior. The research identifies key mechanisms such as cultural proximity, symbolic capital, and interpersonal trust that position these figures as intermediaries between communities and broader political or informational narratives. As formal structures of communication become increasingly fragmented, these informal voices fill the gap, translating complexity into shared meaning and mobilizing communal responses. The paper also explores how these dynamics are amplified in digital spaces, where traditional hierarchies of communication are disrupted. Findings suggest that understanding the emergence and function of informal leadership is crucial to grasp the true contours of public discourse, particularly in societies where institutional trust is volatile or contested. This study contributes to the academic discourse by integrating classical and contemporary theories to provide a conceptual foundation for further empirical investigation.

Abstract

This article examines the contribution of marketing practices in reinforcing social inclusion and the empowerment of marginalized groups by analyzing the economic and social dimensions of inclusive marketing strategies. The primary focus is directed toward understanding how marketing can serve as a strategic instrument to enhance the participation of marginalized groups through market access, social representation, and the strengthening of economic capacities. The strategies analyzed encompass co-creation, alternative distribution, pricing innovation, and the utilization of digitalization as a marketing medium that expands market access. The findings of the study indicate that marketing functions as an empowerment mechanism when it is designed with a participatory and community-based orientation. The involvement of marginalized groups in chain broadens value their economic bargaining power, while simultaneously strengthening the social legitimacy of enterprises. Moreover, marketing strategies that integrate inclusive narratives in brand communication are capable of reducing social stigma and fostering a sense of ownership within the community. Community-based marketing approaches have been shown to establish collaborative networks that enhance collective capacity and drive economic participation. Overall, inclusively designed marketing plays a significant role in creating a more just and balanced business ecosystem. This article underscores the importance of integrating marketing strategies with social agendas to achieve sustainable development. Thus, marketing should not be viewed solely as a business function but also as a social instrument that contributes to the welfare of marginalized groups
