Corporate Culture

Corporate culture is hard to define, yet few other factors have as much significance in shaping your experience at, or valuation of, a firm. A suitable corporate culture is one where your fiscal years goals align with what you would consider achievements beyond the corporate campus; an unsuitable culture will make you more restless than Tiger Woods sitting out and watching the annual rounds at Augusta on TV.

I’ll lament some other day over my misspent youth (sigh) with the corporate sharks (couldn’t help tossing this phrase:). Readers may be more interested in several articles on Google’s corporate culture, and how that may contribute to its continuing success: HERE, HERE and HERE.

Its interesting to me that Google is both a cool company and a powerful corporation. Lets hope it stays that way.

Corporate Culture is Fascist Culture, plain and simple. Corporatists trashed the planet in the 20th century (WWII was about which fascists would win, not good vs. bad) - it's past time to stop pandering to them. Abolition of patent law and abolition of limitation of liability would go along way toward building Free society.

Spumco, I don't know how my post lead to your reaction. Perhaps you're a Phil Mickelson fan and realize Tiger is taking him down this year at Augusta.

In any case, if you're going to criticize corporations, for whatever reason, I suggest you go further back than the mid-20th century. The end of WWII may have been followed by increased integration of national economies into a global economy, giving rise to expanded trade flows and multinational corporations; but the history traces back to the first industrial revolution in the 19th century and the advent of specialization and the recognition of wealth through trade.
