# What are the four culture types shown in Empatyzer?

Empatyzer’s “Organizational Culture” view uses four competing types of work culture: Adhocracy (flexibility, experimentation, initiative), Hierarchy (clear roles, procedures, control), Clan (relationships, trust, community) and Market (results, competition, winning).

None is presented as universally best: a creative agency may lean toward Adhocracy and the police toward Hierarchy. The chart can show the culture you prefer, the culture people in the selected group prefer and the culture they report as actually prevailing.
