Abstract	Every time we join an organization, we go through the socialization process, which is often not as explicit as we might like. Although organizations often provide handbooks for role-related information, there is no such formal structure for cultural information. In order to understand the socialization process and the value it has for both the individual and the organization, it is important to learn about the socialization process within the context of an organization's culture. Specifically, individuals are assimilated into an organization through such things as "formal training programs, mentoring, interviewing, outside research, and relationships with managers, coworkers, and subordinates." Consequently, it is the organizational culture that dictates how these formal and informal processes are prioritized and operationalized. In order to help students learn about the process of organizational assimilation, the authors chose a popular culture book/movie series to illustrate how organizational culture is integral to these assimilation processes from the perspective of the organization. A course description is provided. Course: Organizational Communication. Objectives: The goal of this activity is to teach students about the stages of organizational socialization and how individuals might be socialized into an organization based on the given identity of that organization.
