This interactive course from the Open University explains how cultural differences affect how businesses are run, the symbols that give businesses their identities, and what factors can influence business cultures.

You might only view a business culture as some lofty ideal advertised in company brochures, or a strict set of rules enforced by a boss.

However, a business culture is a multi-faceted entity determined by cultural values and a plethora of other factors like customer demographics and business environments.

In this course, The Open University explores how a business culture is far more than just the way a company presents itself to the rest of the world.

You will learn what metrics and observable contrasts make various businesses feel different to their peers, and how national and language cultures shape business ethoses and practices.
