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."
