How do you define your organization’s corporate culture?
Often, corporate culture is difficult to describe. Every
company has a unique culture—and culture is frequently
the difference between highly successful organizations
and ones that struggle with morale, operational
efficiency, strategic vision, weak internal control
environments and other business challenges. What impact
does corporate culture have on organizational behavior
and employee activities? Together, organizational
strategy, corporate culture and employee behavior create
the framework for corporate governance, which includes
an understanding of the design effectiveness and ongoing
monitoring of an organization’s internal control
environment. As companies invest in enterprise risk
management (ERM) and related governance initiatives, one
area often overlooked is the assessment of corporate
culture. A direct link exists between a company’s
culture and employee behavior. pdf
