These cultures stress values to earn member commitment, since involuntary commitment is lost in the process of implementing greater control. These organizations are very rigid and not very susceptible to change. This type of culture exists more where a top down structure is in place.

Except with adaptive cultures adaptability to existing external conditions is emphasized for the organization's survival. Adaptive culture can also exhibit mix of consistent culture because it may have a strong central management that constantly pushes the organization towqard change to insure a competitive edge, etc.
