    ACCA · Question 36 · Syllabus B: Organisational structure, culture, governance and sustainability

    Section A

    In Edgar Schein's 'Iceberg' model of organizational culture, which level represents the visible organizational structures, processes, and physical office layout?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Espoused Values

    B.

    Basic Underlying Assumptions

    C.

    Artifacts

    How to approach this question

    Identify the 'visible' part of the iceberg. In Schein's model, the visible things you can see, hear, and touch are Artifacts.

    Full Answer

    C.Artifacts✓ Correct
    Schein divided organizational culture into three levels: Artifacts (visible structures, dress code, office layout), Espoused Values (strategies, goals, philosophies), and Basic Underlying Assumptions (unconscious, taken-for-granted beliefs). The visible elements are Artifacts.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Artifacts with Espoused Values. Values are what the company *says*, Artifacts are what you can *see*.
