"Culture is all the historically created designs for living, explicit and implicit, rational, irrational, nonrational, which exist at any given time as potential guides for the behavior of men" Indeed, many of the cultural practices we see today, regardless of nationalities, saw its roots back in history. For example, the Americans" culture of freedom of an individual was established years back during the formation of United States with their basic avocation and belief in democracy.

In fact, studies were carried out by anthropologists and suggested "business organization can be viewed as mini-cultures which operate within the wider national cultural context, as well as cultures in their own right." Thus we can see that culture, which is not something young, does play a significant role in our lives as well as business practices.
