Sažetak

The article deals with possibilities for introduction of concepts of organisational subcultures and communication in consideration of relations between departments of maintenance and operation. The focus groups based qualitative research has been conducted with the members of these two departments in one Croatian pharmaceutical company. Findings indicate possibility to introduce subcultural perspective only in terms of soft determinism. On the other hand, the findings suggest communications are comprehended by departments' members as potential remedy for their relatively poor relations. Finally, findings allow for further research and for more empirically grounded theoretical developments regarding organisational studies.
