Adam, the owner of Adam's Roofing, was talking to a visitor in his office, telling her that "We are a fun-loving group that believes in teamwork and a family atmosphere at work, which significantly affects our work outcomes.

A. mission statement.
B. organizational culture.
C. code of ethics.
D. diversity plan.
E. analytics.
B. organizational culture.
Organizational culture, or corporate culture, is the set of shared, taken-for-granted implicit assumptions that a group holds and that determines how it perceives, thinks about, and reacts to its various environments. Corporate culture is the "social glue" that binds members of the organization together. Just as a human being has a personality—such as fun-loving, warm, uptight, competitive—so an organization has a "personality." And that is culture.
