Culture plays a major role in one's life, be it in professional life or personnel life.
What is culture?
It is displayed in behaviours, beliefs, verbal language, customs, attitudes and practices by a group of people, be it in a organization or society, simply it is a way of life. The characteristics of culture are governed at center by core values set by an organization or society.
India is rich in culture, it varies from state to state, varies from region to region. Culture adopts changes over a period of time, it gets influenced by dominant factors in life. Indian culture is very ancient and influenced by many like Aryans, Greeks, Romans, Moguls...who ever ruled India left marks on the Indian culture. Now a days the political or super powers are governing the culture, like we are influenced by many western cultures today.
Organizations would like to set its own culture. General Electric co. set its values to imbibe culture across the organization .... known to be high with integrity, Trust, openness, boundarilessness etc... Their Slogan Mark used to be "Good things to life" in Jack Welch times and changed to "Imagination at work" now by Jeff Immelt.
Same way Symantec defined its values around Innovation, Action, Trust and Customer-Driven with a slogan mark of " Confidence in connected world".
Longevity in a organization transforms a person to possess its culture, when you change organizations, you may experience culture shocks.
It is important to find out the organizations culture, before jumping in to an organization or you may not stay long time or not succeed.
