the corporation that is better known in society as a legal person should not be responsable for the actions that affects in a very deep way the socity. the real guilt is the hands of the people that works for all these companies, the ones who are encharged of taking the decisions and the ones that support them.
is their compromise to work in a clear and fair way, for example ( salaries, products at the right price, manage power...) in order to benefit the society and set an example of social responsability. this will ensure those companies their progress and the satisfaction of their costumers.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NATIONAL IDENTITY AND CORPORATE CULTURE?

  • Is very important to understand that national identity is "the depiction of a country as a whole encompassing its culture, traditions, lenguage and politics" and that corporate culture refers to the values beliefs and behaviors that help to stablish some ethic patterns in order to help the company to improve and define its identity.
  • The most important relation between those two is that both are oriented to obtain some specific goals, creating an identity based on their parameters and using it for the well development of an specific structure.

¿ QUE ES CULTURA ?

  • La cultura es el conjunto de todas las formas, los modelos o los patrones, explícitos o implícitos, a través de los cuales una sociedad regula el comportamiento de las personas que la conforman. Como tal incluye costumbres, prácticas, códigos, normas y reglas de la manera de ser, vestimenta, religión, rituales, normas de comportamiento y sistemas de creencias. Desde otro punto de vista se puede decir que la cultura es toda la información y habilidades que posee el ser humano. El concepto de cultura es fundamental para las disciplinas que se encargan del estudio de la sociedad, en especial para la antropología y la sociología.

  • La cultura es una abstracción, es una construcción teórica a partir del
    comportamiento de los individuos de un grupo. Por tanto nuestro conocimiento de
    la cultura de un grupo va a provenir de la observación de los miembros de ese
    grupo que vamos a poder concretar en patrones específicos de comportamiento.
  • La cultura es una capacidad humana distinta para adaptarse a las circunstancias y transmitir este conjunto de instrumentos y conocimientos aprendidos a la generación siguiente.A su vez la cultura es el modo de vida desarrollado por un grupo humano y transmitido de generación en generación. Para Kotler " la cultura es el conjunto de esquemas mentales y de conducta mediante los cuales la sociedad consigue una mayor satisfacción para sus miembros" .
