1. Image
2. Vocabulary
3. Managerial hierarchy
4. Policies and procedures

• Vocabulary: Organizations have a specialized vocabulary that resembles one another’s.
• Managerial hierarchy: The hierarchy of every organization is different, and therefore not included in the aspects that can be similar among different organizations.
• Policies and procedures: Organizations can resemble one another in that each will have its own specialized policies and procedures.
• History: Each organization has its own history, so organizations resemble each other in this manner.
