This paper aims at analysing premises and objectives in transformation of company organizational culture. Effects of such a transformation are presented for the company as a whole and for the company personnel. Recommendations are made for management practice in the process of introducing changes in organizational culture.Cultural transformation of a company is a difficult and compound task, requiring knowledge, extensive experience and prudence on the part of personnel responsible for preparation and implementation of change.
