Resumen
Descripción
This is an organizational life cycle case study of a kibbutz industrial plant
and its cultural features. The plant began as a new enterprise, in a new area
of manufacturing magnets. Gradually, the plant evolved and grew, but
socialist management problems and environmental competition interfered
with its existence. The plant passed into a decline stage, and finally was shut
down and acquired by a new private owner. The life cycle changes were
accompanied by major changes in the plant’s organizational culture. From a
socialist entity based on democratic values, it transformed into a hierarchic
organization with social stratification.
