In general terms, values account for what is good, desirable, or worthwhile. Organizations are inherently intertwined with values at multiple levels. Values provide the common ground of a society which organizations need to respect. In addition, values are distinctive of the roles that particular forms of organizations (such business firms, charities, or state agencies) have and the interests they consider accordingly.
