Glaxo Wellcome cultural Change

Abstract

Spotlights the cultural transitional process which has taken place following the merger of Glaxo and The Wellcome Foundation to form Glaxo Wellcome in March 1995. Underlines that management was proactive in developing a global culture, inviting a human resource consultancy, Renaissance, to conduct a four‐phase custom‐designed leadership and cultural change training programme. Claims that such training can achieve lasting human benefits, encouraging commitment, accountability, creativity, trust, team spirit and self‐ management.
