The concept of corporate culture is the total sum of the values, customs, traditions and meanings that make a company unique. Corporate culture is often called "the character of an organization" since it embodies the vision of the company’s founders. The values of a corporate culture influence the ethical standards within a corporation, as well as managerial behavior.[1]
On the other hand national identity refers to the distinguishing features of the group and to the individual's sense of belonging to it. A very wide range of criteria is used, with very different applications. Small differences in pronunciation may be enough to categorize someone as a member of another nation.[2]
The relationship that I found in the two concepts is that both have certain things, as values, traditions and characteristics that make them unique and different from others.
