The Cultural Network is the informal, invisible web of communication within an organization - made up of storytellers, gossips, priests, and other unofficial roles - that operates outside formal reporting structures. According to Deal and Kennedy, this network constitutes a hidden hierarchy of influence and is the primary channel through which cultural norms and values are truly spread and enforced.

Joy is not a dimension in Deal and Kennedy's framework at all and therefore has no defined meaning or role within this model of organizational culture.

Values represent the core beliefs and guiding principles of the culture itself, not the informal network or power structure through which information and influence flow.

Heroes are the individuals who embody and exemplify organizational values, not the broader informal communication network that constitutes the hidden power hierarchy.
