Every business develops its own distinct culture, usually subconsciously, based on a combination of factors, including; management style, the structure and hierarchy, the size of the Company and the leaders and their style, to name a few.
Very simply; it's the way people interact, manage their daily work activities and how they prioritise their relationships, you could say, "It's the way we see and do things around here".
Interpreting and understanding your business culture is an important activity for management because culture affects everything from communication, business development and productivity to staff motivation. In fact, it is essential to the company’s ability to attract and retain staff as well as influencing relationships with customers, shareholders, suppliers, etc.
