The English settlers, as a group, did not change their culture in order to get along with the Aborigines. They were of the belief that Aborigines were merely black savages, and incapable of intelligent thought. They were there to take the land, and to defend it at any cost. There were a few individuals who respected the Aborigines, and attempted to learn from them, but they were in the minority. One such person was convict William Buckley, who escaped from custodu in 1803. Buckley spent the next 32 years living among the indigenous Wathaurong people. Bridging the cultural gap between Europeans and Aborigines, he gained many valuable bush skills and was a crucial factor in reconciliation in those early days. To keep the peace between the two races, Buckley gave himself up to free settler John Batman's landing party on 7 July 1835.

What is the relationship between organizational culture and change?

Organizational culture significantly influences how change is perceived and implemented within a company. A strong, adaptive culture can facilitate change by fostering openness, trust, and collaboration among employees. Conversely, a rigid or negative culture may resist change, leading to conflict and inefficiency. Therefore, aligning change initiatives with the existing culture—or actively evolving the culture to embrace change—is crucial for successful transformation.
