Corporate Culture
Culture is a property of a group.Wherever a group has enough common experience, a culture begins to form. One finds cultures at the level of small teams, families, and workgroups.Cultures also arise at the level of departments, functional groups, and other organizational units that have a common occupational core and common experience.
![Page 16: Employer Of Choice]](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061105/5443e78bb1af9f6c0a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Corporate Culture Continued
Cultures are found at every hierarchical level.Culture exists at the level of the whole organization if there is sufficient shared history.Culture matters because it is a powerful, latent, and often unconscious set of forces that determine both our individual and collective behavior, ways perceiving, thought patterns, and values.

Culture Formally Defined as …
“A pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as it solved its problems of external adaptation and internal integration, that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems.” (Schein, 1999, 39)

Process of culture formation
A single person has an idea for a new enterpriseThe founder brings one or more other people and creates a core group that shares a common goal and vision with the founder.The founding group begins to act in concert to create an organization by raising funds, obtaining patents, incorporating, locating work space, and so on.
