Chapter 10_ response _ yoyo

Chapter 10 discusses about the organizational culture. Organizational culture is different from national culture. National cultures are part of mental software we acquired during the first ten years of our lives, in the family, in the living environment and in school. Organizational culture acquired when we enter a work organization.  They are more superficial. (pg.4) I partially agree with this statement. Every corporation has its own organizational culture and employees have to adapt to this culture. However, I do also think organizational culture sometimes is influenced by national culture. For example, people in some European countries value the time of enjoying life and leisure time. It’s a part of their national culture. Organizations in those countries tend to give employees higher welfare and more days off. In contrast, in some eastern countries, like china, national culture values hard works and employees are usually required to work at least 8 hours a day and only have few days off per year.
