This case study forces students to confront the problem of using a form of organization, which is successful in one cultural context, yet unsuccessful in a totally different cultural context. The contrast is drawn between the decentralized mode of organization that traditionally existed among the Hebrews and the centralized mode that David helped to introduce. Students are encouraged to consider the importance of maintaining cultural integrity under the influence of foreign cultural ideas and institutions. They also learn about the feasibility of moving an organizational structure from one culture to another, and about the difficulties in creating a multicultural organization composed of individuals from a variety of cultures. The above prices are the Institute's academic prices for degree-granting colleges and universities.
