“Morals and Ethics Values Express the manner in which the organization adopts universal values of morals, personal ethics and professional ethics. Social and Community Values Express the way the organization perceives its commitment to the society and the community in which it operates. Central Inner Values These values are those principles governing the inner culture of the organization, and they are expressed in the decision making processes and the manner of conduct. When people in the organization speak about inner values, those usually appear in sentences such as “it is customary for us to …” or “For us, the most important thing is …” or simply "THIS is how we do things here". These values express the manner in which the organization operates regardless of outer influences. It is expected that managers and workers should express and manifest the value in their daily behavior, and most often this is a basic condition for advancement within the organization. Functional Values Functional values are the leading principles of action by which the organization operates in each one of the main functions (manpower, research and development, Logistics etc.). These, too, are a type of inner values, but quite often their nature is more ‘operative’ than ‘cultural’. Central External Values External values express the value received by the client. Whether we speak of a n individual or an organization, we are all required to give something in return for the things we want and need. That ‘something’ that we give others is the external value. The things through which we get most of the results from outside, those are the central external values.”
