Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organizational culture, or corporate culture, is the set of shared, taken-for-granted implicit assumptions that a group holds and that determines how it perceives, thinks about, and reacts to its various environments. Corporate culture is the "social glue" that binds members of the organization together. Just as a human being has a personality-such as fun-loving, warm, uptight, or competitive-so an organization has a "personality." And that is culture.
