1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Culture: the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.
Performance:
The accomplishment of a given task measured against preset known
standards of accuracy, completeness, cost, and speed. In a contract,
performance is deemed to be the fulfillment of an obligation, in a
manner that releases the performer from all liabilities under the
contract.
Organization: A social unit of people that is structured
and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals. All
organizations have a management structure that determines relationships
between the different activities and the members, and subdivides and
assigns roles, responsibilities, and authority to carry out different
tasks. Organizations are open systems--they affect and are affected by
their environment.
