Company Culture — Its Role in an Industrial Society
Introduction
Culture, in the present context, is defined in the Concise Oxford Dictionary as: Improvement by physical or mental training; Intellectual development; A particular form, stage, or type of intellectual development or civilisation.
We are also told that a "culture vulture" is a person eager to acquire culture. These definitions apply to individual persons and to countries; but it has been established that pany, like a country, has a distinct culture, and this culture is very significant in relation to pany's growth. .

Sociologists use the term "culture" to describe specific aspects of social life, rather than society or a social structure. On the other hand, the anthropological approach usually takes its entire subject matter as culture. Thus the sociologists stress the process through which behaviour is learned, whereas the anthropologists see culture as a "distinctive achievement" of people, adding in effect a material dimension to the concept. However, so important is this subject considered to be in relation pany management that a number of books have been written on the subject. Typical of these is that by Deal and Kennedy.
