What is culture? Why does it matter?
This module seeks to address this question by focusing on two main objectives. By the end of this module, you will have a solid understanding of:
- the key dimensions of culture
- how culture influences values and behavior
Culture has been defined in many different ways. We have provided two of the most common definitions --
"Culture is the shared set of assumptions, values, and beliefs of a group of people by which they organize their common life." Gary Wederspahn
"Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one group from another." Geert Hofstede
