http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_culture
Organizational culture, or corporate culture, comprises the attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values of an organization.
It has been defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization. Organizational values are beliefs and ideas about what kinds of goals members of an organization should pursue and ideas about the appropriate kinds or standards of behavior organizational members should use to achieve these goals. From organizational values develop organizational norms, guidelines or expectations that prescribe appropriate kinds of behavior by employees in particular situations and control the behavior of organizational members towards one another." (Hill & Jones, 2001)
Senior management may try to determine a corporate culture. They may wish to impose corporate values and standards of behavior that specifically reflect the objectives of the organization. In addition, there will also be an extant internal culture within the workforce.
Work-groups within the organization have their own behavioral quirks and interactions which, to an extent, affect the whole system. Task culture can be imported. For example, computer technicians will have expertise, language and behaviors gained independently of the organization, but their presence can influence the culture of the organization as a whole.

neutral  Mercuri@: But doesn't the term miss the organisational aspect...
9 mins
agree  AllegroTrans: I think this and Boekstaaf's suggestion are equally valid
1 hr
agree  Taña Dalglish: I agree. This works for me too. But I do find the neutral response "amazing"! There is a lot to be said about the "non-English speaking", or better said the non-native .... Anyway.

agree  patricia scott
34 mins
  -> Patricia, thank you as always for your valuable support. Have a good week...
disagree  Mercuri@: No offence, but I also said this quite a while before you did.
37 mins
  -> Why are in disagreement w/ my answer? It is a more complete answer. The truth is that when I was entering mine, I honestly did not see yrs; your answer is not quite the same; I was adding the refs. which was the 4-5 mins. diff. Do the math! Pettiness.
disagree  AllegroTrans: correct, but Boekstaaf made the same suggestion before you
1 hr
  -> S/comment to Boekstaff. Frankly, I've seen this happen before & others have been polite & you are impolite; this is not in the spirit of Proz. What is yr problem? This is m/spirited; just don't answer. M/beI'll disagree w/all yr future right answers.
agree  KathyT: I don't understand the reason for the "disagrees," the same comments could have been posted with a 'neutral' (although goodness knows why that would be necessary!!) This is clearly a better researched, more complete answer than the former: "." indeed!!
6 hrs
  -> Thanks Kathy. Very kind of you. I understand fully and it really is a case of individuals not understanding the spirit of the forums and taking it to a level of "pettiness". Your approval is much appreciated. Saludos.

  -> Thank you as always Victoria. It is truly amazing that there are those who do not fully comprehend the spirit of participation and personally, I don't have a problem with disagrees, but be fair and justified. Again, your invaluable support means a lot
agree  writeaway: 4 minutes difference means you were entering at the same time. copying can be suspected starting from around 8-10 minutes difference between answers. 4 minutes can't be copying.
14 days
  -> Thank you writeaway. Your support is appreciated. Truly amazing when individuals do not understand the purpose of the forum. Thanks again.
