Chapter 12 - Summary
Summary of Chapter 12 Culture: Inside and Out
Culture is the customs, beliefs, arts and institutions of a group of people. We learn this through interaction with family, friends, and other members of society or it is said that we learn culture through socialization, that is gained from interactions with group members over time.
In this chapter, there are lots of useful matters such as workforce diversity, organizational culture which involves deep organizational culture and observable organizational culture. Workforce diversity includes race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomics, gender, sexual preference, and physical disability. Sometimes we understand different behavior, customs, or beliefs as a little strange since we learn to view the globe from a cultural perspective. A micro view of organizational culture makes we look at a corporate way of life that comes from the national culture but look at a distinct co-culture with its own values, behaviors, and beliefs.
It is obvious that it is very important for us to learn and understand the culture both of macro (dominant) and micro (corporate) culture as we can apply them when working with people from different cultures and whenever we communicate with others.
