This technique is intended to unite the theory of organizational management operations with the practices applied in the field adding knowledge to business, society and the academic community. The relation of cause and effect to be demonstrated will result of the examination and research of several authors who will form the structure applied to the case study related to the topic. In the end the paper concludes that there is considerable space to demonstrate that increasing productivity is the predominant factor as role played by the leadership which in turn is related to the existing organizational culture.
