Bebo is a social networking website launched in July 2005. It is currently owned by Criterion Capital Partners.
The website's name is an acronym for Blog Early, Blog Often.[4] Users receive a personal profile page where they can post blogs, photographs, music, videos and questionnaires to which other users may answer. Additionally, users may add others as friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.[1]
Bebo was founded by Michael Birch and his wife Xochi Birch in January 2005 at their home in San Francisco.[1]
It was acquired by AOL on March 13, 2008 for $850 million.[5][6] In April 2010, AOL announced it was planning to sell or shut down Bebo,[7] with the sale being completed on June 17, 2010 to Criterion Capital Partners for an undisclosed sum.[8] It has been reported that the sale raised less than $10 million.[9]

Organizational culture can be defined as a set of assumptions, values and artifacts making members of a specific organization unique from others, and thus, described as the essence, character or personality of the organization (1997). It is a term, which should be understood as involving both the everyday understandings of members and the more general features of the sector, state, and society of which the organization is a part (2000).
The culture of the organization is found similar to that defined by (1986) as a role culture. A role culture is appropriate to bureaucracies and organizations with mechanistic rigid structures and narrow jobs, which stresses the importance of procedures and rules, hierarchical positions, authority, security and predictability. It has been emphasized that communication in the organization is not simply an event that takes place within a container where people transmit oral and written messages, but it is a continual process of creating and reaffirming interpretations through the interlocking behaviors of organizational members (1992). In this regard, the lack of communication among departments contributes to the inefficiency of the organization due to the lack of coordination. An actual example of this problem is the situation when one of the sales staff promised a customer to deliver hydroprocessing catalysts in 8 days time. Because the manager of the dispatching section was on leave, one of the dispatching department supervisors took initiative and sent the product to the Philippine company, only to get a memo the next day for not having a permission to do so.
In addition, steps in Organizational Development can also be followed. Organizational Development is an effort planned, organization-wide, and managed from the top, to increase organization effectiveness and health, and to change the beliefs, attitudes, values, and structures of the organization through planned interventions (2005). The first step in the Organization Development process is the Problem Identification Phase involves the discovery of the problem or need within the organization that is affecting the productivity, morale, attitudes, or the organization’s combativeness. The second step is the Diagnostic Phase or the Data Collection Phase, which involves data acquisition. The third step is the Data Feedback and Confrontation Phase
