The concept and essence of Corporate Culture

Thematic discussion on the topic: «The concept and essence of Corporate Culture»

For a business taking its first steps, the concept of «corporate culture» isn’t relevant. This isn’t surprising. For any system (and it’s the systems perspective that interests us most), the first stage of maturity is the «Embracing/Survival» stage. At this stage, it’s completely natural to have no time and attantion for culture… )

But a business that has moved beyond «survival» begins to consider greater and higher goals. This is also completely natural. Among other issues that are being discussed is the creation and development of «Corporate Culture».

• What must be included in a «Corporate culture», and most importantly, why?
• What is «Corporate Culture», what is its essence, and in what forms is it expressed?
• What is the significance of corporate culture at the various stages of business maturity?
• What is the best way to formalize corporate culture to more effectively communicate it to employees?
