While culture is not the only determinant of business success or failure, a positive culture can be a significant competitive advantage over organizations with which a firm competes. This paper will review how the concept of corporate culture became popular, define corporate culture, show how it affects real-world organizations (both positively and negatively), and consider ways in which cultural change may be brought about.
