N2 - This paper explores the use of organization culture, through socialization, as a control mechanism. Through the examination of two disparate Australian organizations operating in the global environment, the paper explores suggested linkages between strategy, organizational culture and staffing. It concludes that, while these two case companies have different cultures, they both rely heavily on transferring staff in order to facilitate co-ordination and control and to implement strategies that will achieve their global objectives.
