Overview: "Between plans and reality lie years of habits, customs, unwritten ground rules, parochialism, and vested interests: the corporate culture. Culture can not only stop a change effort dead in its tracks, it can also propel it to great heights. More than just anecdotal evidence exists that change initiatives fail more often than they succeed. Today, people recognize those personality traits as “corporate culture,” and the business world is slowly beginning to appreciate the power of cultural habits. Thus, all that one do or attempt to do in the organization will be influenced by the culture. "
