This answer lacks detail and any form of academic rigor, but at least gets the idea across of what the culture is in any organization, whether it be Wal‐Mart or a small hardware store. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
