CULTURE AND BUSINESS

The way all organisations work and do business is influenced by the work based culture that that surrounds them. Some of the cultural influences come from the nation or region in which the organisation is based. Other cultural influences are related t the industry or market in which the organisation operates.

Being aware of  the influences of culture on organisations will help people to understand the way the various parts of their organisation works, as well as their customers and suppliers. Understanding the culture will allow improved processes to be developed, as well as establishing better relationships for the short and long  term.

Investigations have shown that there are two distinct types of culture which organisations need to be aware of:

• National Culture  -  Which encompasses all characteristics and influences upon the individual or group, whether they come from national, social, work, or religious origins.
  
• Corporate Culture  -  Which  encompasses only those characteristics and influences which relate to the work, or business, of the individual or group.

Information on how National Culture may effect the participants in international joint ventures, or mergers is provided on the National Culture  pages of this web site. Organisations involved with international ventures will also have to face the challenges of the Corporate Cultures of the individual nations. 

Information on how Corporate Culture may effect the participants involved with mergers, or acquisitions, within a single nation is provided on the Corporate Culture pages of this web site.
