The Three Levels of Culture

Edgar Shine's concept of culture involves three levels: beliefs, values, and actions. Beliefs are the foundation of an organization's culture and are unobservable, while values are the degree to which beliefs are held true and influence actions. Actions, on the other hand, are observable and create an artifact of the organization's culture. These three levels interact and influence each other, with beliefs shaping values and values shaping actions.
