This document discusses the link between culture and management. It explores how culture affects business management and ways to develop cross-cultural effectiveness. Culture is defined as learned behaviors and values passed down through generations. A culture can be seen as having three layers - observable behaviors, underlying norms and values, and core assumptions. Culture exists at various levels, including national, organizational, corporate, and professional. Managing organizations requires understanding how cultural elements influence employee relationships and readiness to accept changes. A corporate culture can develop through a company's shared history and be influenced by national culture and partnerships with foreign companies.
