This unique identity provides organizations with the opportunity to attain strategic leadership. Keeping in view the vital role that culture plays in the success of any organization, the present study was undertaken with the objective of studying the cultural pattern in any organization.

As many as 8 dimensions were taken to judge the organizational culture. The OCTAPACE profile is a 40 item instrument that gives the profile of the organizations ethos in eight values.
