However, if culture is to be managed, as other aspects of organization are, we must refine our ability to describe it, measure it, and alter it in ways that will contribute to goal accomplishment. This article reports the application of a multimethod technique known as "triangulation" to the study of one organization's culture. The use of obtrusive observation, self-administered questionnaires, and personal interviews made it possible to construct a holistic picture of the organizational culture that was useful to management. The triangulation technique confirmed the existence of a subculture in the part of the organization studied in this analysis. In fact, the subculture was in many respects a counterculture. On the basis of the data gathered using the various techniques, it was possible to make a series of recommendations to top-level decision makers that would preserve some of the virtuous values of the counterculture while redirecting some of the potentially troublesome ones. The study illustrated the usefulness of triangulation as a practical and relatively inexpensive way to measure culture and provide managers with the information they need to manage it successfully.
