THE CONCEPT OF CULTURE IN A SOCIETY | CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Management is largely-bound (Miller, 1963:132). The concept of Culture is a myth, stressing that each institution is unique in its own culture and superstructures, with the capacity to generate productive and creative talents (Okpara, 1982:401).


Culture can be influenced indigenously which refers to native born, originating or produced naturally in an institution and as well as being influenced by culture. This is the type and level of nature, acquired and accepted by civilization that may have culminated in a way of life of the people as can be spotted in every human society and stage of development throughout the world.

Pascal and Attos in their book titled “The Art of Japanse Management” give cultural factors a pride of place in Management. The book discusses the major factors responsible for Japanese industrial tradition. The book also reports that managerial reality is absolute but is rather socially and culturally determined.

It further concludes that across all culture and in all societys human beings coming to perform collective jobs encounter common problems having to do with established direction, coordination and motivation. Undoubtedly, culture affects how these problems are perceived and how they are resolved.

According to (Krober, 1987:108), culture does not exist without society. Some culture value novelty and change positively for its own sake. The fact that something is new and different is sufficient to examine it and perhaps try it. This led him to conclude that no culture is dynamic because it tolerates changes. It does not have to be static but where it does violence arises.
