The concept of business culture has been around for some time and it is increasingly used to explain business performance. The book brings together leading economists, sociologists and business historians who provide an introduction to the various theories of business culture and demonstrates how these can be explored to provide a better understanding of business and its social context. The early chapters present a critical appreciation of business culture theory and provide a theoretical analysis of the economics of business culture. The impact of wider culture on business performance is then examined using case studies which look at the influence of religious, political, cultural and moral values on industry. Subsequent chapters consider the way in which businesses may create their own particular cultures and how these affect performance.
