A company's culture is shaped by the values of its founders and is tied to the personality and background of early leaders. Additionally, industry characteristics can create similarities among organizational cultures within an industry. Top management establishes policies, guidelines, and strategic objectives to provide leadership and direction, and are responsible for quality management. Corporate culture is communicated to new employees through elements like the physical workspace, mission statements, rituals, and shared stories.

repetitive activities
within an organization
