A corporate culture is a type of organisational culture that includes various beliefs and values that define a particular company. Some types of corporate culture are determined by the founders of a company when they build the business. Other types of corporate culture are imported when companies hire more employees with diverse knowledge and experience. There are two different types of corporate cultures that define the organisational as well as the social aspects of a given business. The first type is strictly hierarchical and is aimed at control, stability and internal efficiency. The second type emphasises creativity, flexibility, and innovation over strict organisation and stability. Employees in flat hierarchical cultures interact with each other and with their managers in a drastically different way than employees in more control-oriented corporate cultures.
There are advantages and disadvantages associated with all different types of corporate cultures. A corporate culture that is too firmly based on control and stability, for instance, may stagnate because it suppresses free thought, individuality, and creativity. On the other hand, a company that allows its employees too much autonomy may be inefficient if the employees are not particularly self-motivated. Generally, a cohesive corporate culture is regarded ideal, as it can unify employees, increase overall job satisfaction, and greatly improve a business's efficiency and productivity.
Though many work cultures embrace positive values, such as loyalty, solidarity, efficiency, quality, personal development and customer service, they can also reinforce some negative attitudes. Thus, in many businesses, an unwritten rule states that the boss is always right, even when he is wrong and that working long hours is more important than achieving results.
