    Organizational culture is defined as a system of shared meanings and beliefs within an organization that help bind people together. A company's culture provides standards for appropriate employee behavior and helps control behavior. Cultural values are formed over time through founders' philosophies, management decisions, and socialization processes, and can promote commitment but also inhibit diversity and change. While core values are shared, different subcultures may exist within a larger organizational culture.
