The Importance of business culture compatibility

Culture consists of the long-standing, largely implicit shared values, beliefs, and assumptions that influence behavior, attitudes, and meaning in a company (or society).

Culture affects various corporate aspects such as:

The due diligence process

During the due diligence process the focus is usually on measurable metrics, such as financial data and legal questions. Only after the transaction is completed is the management team concerned with cultural compatibility.

​

Most managerial teams address this problem by defining a set of desirable cultural attributes and then encourage employees to adopt these attributes in their daily tasks. However that comes with the time pressure to deliver results to shareholders.

​

This pressure for results does not afford the time for a detailed cultural diagnosis or a long-term culture change project with uncertain prospects of achieving the desired goals.

 

This can be tackled by a more balanced approach, identifying the high-risk points and working with employees to mitigate the impact of these points.
