By setting examples.
By Enforcement.
By encouragement.
Setting examples is the most elegant way but it is often impractical when the change is urgent. It depends on people to change by it's own will which could take a lifetime.
Enforcement is often sees as insensitive and arogant but it is within the manager's power and rights. Firing everybody who's not playing along is the fastest way to change culture. Of course this is not done recklessly rather strategically (right people, right time, right case) to stress on the management seriousness about the change while actually elminating the "trouble maker".
Encouragement probably the most favourite ways practice by almost every managers. You ignore the negative focusing on the positive with rewards and support and pretty soon people will "get the picture" and must make the change if he/she wants to stay.

How do i go about doing a brief secondary investigation of a question of interest to me related to organizational culture?
Organizational culture is a pretty hard thing to define, much less assess it's current problems, issues and opportunities. Let's start with a definition: Organizational culture consists of the actions, behaviors, systems, values and beliefs that persist over time. Please note that "persistent" also implies hard to change. There are volumes and volumes written on assessing (or diagnosing) organizational culture. Some of those references are below. There are three main methods of assessing organizational culture: archival methods, that use historical data, such as absenteeism, turnover, customer relations and retention, productivity records, etc.; The second is to gather information via surveys, whether they be numerical surveys, open-ended surveys, or some combination of both; and observation, where a consultant systematically observes meetings, discussions, individuals, etc. Usually a combination of all three will allow you to "triangulate" and come up with a thorough assessment of culture. Some of the books below will help. In addition, there are a couple of articles on websites that summarize much of the information. They are included in the web link to this article.

In what ways does organizational change differ from organizational development?

How organisational culture improves organistional performance?
Sociotechnical systems theory and quantitative research suggests an important relationship between organizational culture and business performance. The important factor is an alignmentbetween the organizational culture and technical systems (the way the work is done).Where there is a lack of alignment, project cancellation is likely. Where alignment is present, project completion is likely. Cultural alignment, however, is not sufficient to ensure success, as technical systems factors influenced project performance. Having the most appropriate organizational culture is helpful, but you must still do the work effectively to achieve organizational performance.The literature suggests disagreement with regard to the nature of the relationship between organizational culture and business performance. The strong performance perspective suggests that business success drives changes to the organizational culture. Alternate theories suggest that a strong organizational culture drives business success.Quantitative studies identified a strong correlation between organizational culture and business performance. The correlation suggested a relationship between variables but does not establish which causes the other to change. An analogy of this dilemma is that statistical analysis may indicate that shark bites are strongly correlated to air temperature, but the cause of increased shark bites may not be air temperature, but rather that more swimmers go in the water in higher temperatures.Organizational culture establishes the way things are done in an organization. Typically those strategies that have worked in the past are repeated. Successes are celebrated in the myths and stories of the organization reinforcing their apparent correctness. In this way organizational culture can drive organizational performance by ensuring that successful strategies are repeated.Organizational culture can also be a barrier to change when environmental factors require new strategies. In some instances, previous strategies are no longer relevant, or even harmful. Organizational culture would drive members to continue doing things in the same old ways, rather then encouraging members to adapt new behaviors.To achieve optimal organizational performance, and organization has to focus both on the organizational culture, and the technical systems that define the way work is done. You have to optimize why the work is done in a certain way (organizational culture) and how the work is done (technical systems).
