    1. In your opinion, how do cultural norms affect a company or an organization?

    Ans. Cultural norms are the set of values, practices, languages, beliefs and customs that people from the
    same community share, for as we know, norms differ from region-to-region. Cultural norms actually
    affect and influence an individual’s behaviors, thinking skills and actions not only to how they treat other
    people but also to the organization they belong to. That’s why sometimes even inside the organization
    there are still victim of bullies, office gossip and etc. This shows poor internal communication that often
    leads to misunderstanding and conflicts. And because of this, workers don’t have unity, therefore, the
    company will suffer both financially and well-being. But on the other hand, when cultural diversity in the
    workplace is taken care of, there different ways of thinking skills will be very beneficial to the
    organization.

    1. Results
    2. Caring
    3. Order
    4. Learning
    5. Purpose
    6. Safety
    7. Enjoyment
    8. Authority

    3. Why do different industries differ in terms of cultural styles prevalent in their field?

    Ans. Organizations have different cultures, and their people are often driven by different motivations.
    Copying another culture won't work unless both companies address identical problems, have a common
    values structure and share the same makeup of employees. Every organization should find its own
    cultural DNA.

    Cultural differences are the various beliefs, behaviors, languages, practices and expressions considered
    unique to members of a specific ethnicity, race or national origin. While these various differences can
    create a more vibrant office, they can also lead to more than a few problems resulting from culture
    clash.

    4. What is the importance of adaptation or flexibility in these types of culture existing in the work
    sector nowadays?

    Ans. Being adaptable in the workplace is important for a number of reasons. For one, employers value
    employees that are successfully able to manage changes in the workplace. In addition, the more
    adaptable you are, the more productive you'll be overall. This is important because being able to handle
    change with ease frees up the time you might have normally spent being stressed out when a new
    challenge presented itself
