Are you looking for a clear definition of corporate culture?

You have come to the right place!

I have developed a definition of corporate culture after nearly 20 years of working with organizations and viewing them from the perspective of a cultural anthropologist as well as a strategy consultant who has an MBA in finance from Carnegie Mellon.

Culture: n 1. an energy field that is created whenever a group of people come together to collaborate; 2. foundation for all decisions and actions within an organization; 3. the way things are around here

The easiest way to think of corporate culture is that it is an energy field that determines how people think, act, and view the world around them. I often compare culture to electricity. Culture is an energy field that becomes woven through the thinking, behavior, and identity of those within the group. Culture is powerful and invisible and its effects are far reaching.
