Organization Culture Theory: From Organizational Culture of Schein to Appreciative Inquiry of Cooperrider & Whitney
Organization is a relatively young science in comparison with the other scientific disciplines. (Ivanko, 2013) Accounts of the growth of organizational theory usually start with Taylor and Weber, but, as Scott (1987) mentions, organizations were present in the old civilizations which goes back to Sumerians (5000, BC) and which experiences its maturation phase with Taylor, Fayol and Weber, continuing to come up to present with modern management methods and principles. The modern organization may be the most crucial innovation of the past 100 years and it is a theory which will never complete its evolution as the human being continues to exist. Understanding how organizations work has been the focus of scientists and scholars until the early part of the 20th century. Just as organizations have evolved, so to have the theories explaining them. These theories can be divided into 9 different “schools” of thought (Shafritz, Ott, Jang, 2005): Classical Organization Theory, Neoclassical Organization Theory, Human Resource Theory, or the Organizational Behavior Perspective, Modern Structural Organization Theory, Organizational Economics Theory, Power and Politics Organization Theory, Organizational Culture Theory, Reform Though Changes in Organizational Culture and Theories of Organizations and Environments. This introductory paper will concentrate on the organization culture theory and is divided as follows: The introduction talks about the developments of the organization and organization theory from its early stages with detailed definitions. In section 2, theoretical roots in other words literature review on the subject will be presented. At further section, by looking at the perspectives of the 9 pioneering people (Schein, Martin, Ouchi, and Cooperrider & Whitney) main principles of the classical organization theory are presented one by one. Section 4 mentions strengths and weaknesses of the classical organizational theory and section 5 discusses and concludes the paper.

Proximate, mineral and antinutrient composition of dika nut (Irvingia gabonensis) kernel
Proximate composition, mineral composition and anti-nutrient factors were determined in the hull and cotyledons of the kernel of dika nut (Irvingia gabonensis) on dry weight basis. Higher values (g/100 g) protein, fat, ash, fiber, dry matter, fatty acid and calorific value were recorded in the cotyledon. In minerals, the levels in cotyledon were higher than hull in (mg/100 g): Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Fe, Cd, Ni, and P and in [K (Ca + Mg)], Ca/P and Ca/Mg. In the anti-nutrients, hull was higher in tannin, oxalate, phytate, phytin phosphorus, saponins, alkaloids and phytin phosphorus as a percentage of total phosphorus. The levels of Phy: Zn, Ca: Phy and Ca: Phy/Zn was good enough in the hull and cotyledon for the body to absorb calcium and zinc for its physiological activities. Significant differences existed between the hull and the cotyledon in all the parameters determined with high positive rxy at r = 0.05.
