Culture is defined as all values, beliefs, traditions shared by a group of people either a nation or an organization with the main objective to clear boundaries from other groups, to get an identity that enforce their roots belonging to the group. People develop their own way achieving their interests in order to get unitary objective; through working together as a team helping each other. They like to work together having same expectations, goals, reasons, beliefs, results, values and norms.
In the organizational culture there are two types of members; one who has a high position in the organization making in him a consistent culture built by the company. And another who has a low position in the company that makes in him an adaptability, which means, when the organizational culture goes following a business strategy that all the company’s members have a participation and work for it.

Culture is built by a group of people and it is passed and teach from generation to generation shared by people that work together for a goal, so they have a working behavior as a core of norms created by the organization. It can be modified in the way that the creators who are in high positions in the company can adjust the organizational culture from all the external factors that are related to the organization, such as the market behavior, the religion, etc. Even though, they modify it in the way they are improving to give a good product to the customer that reach their needs as customer in order to obtain as much customer as the organizations can. They are willing to cross frontiers and change some positive aspects that help the organization to gain success.
Each organization may have a different corporate culture from other, which is based on the ways to dress, the space that they have to leave either for a customer or an executive, the punctuality; in general all the stuff included on the code of conduct followed by a core of values that the company can modify if is necessary having account that it is not going to affect the company’s vision and mission.
Nowadays, multinationals want to go abroad looking for being recognized around the world.
As an example, in 1990 was the Indian Liberalization, which gave a chance to enter for all the foreign companies there. Even though, Mc Donald’s entered to India in 1996 by Joint venture. It took six years to study the emergent market of India, due this, Mc Donald’s had to adjust to the Indian culture, since changing their menu for vegetarian food.
