‘Culture’ refers to the prevailing norms and values which guide the way people behave in a society or in an organisation. The word ‘culture’ apparently originates from the Latin word ‘cultura,’ which can be translated as a cult or a concept related to worship. Cult members embed the ways of doing things that is supernaturally mandated into the culture they develop. According to Terpstra and David (1985), “Culture is a learned, shared, compelling, interrelated set of symbols whose meaning provides a set of orientations for members of a society. These orientations, taken together, provide solutions to problems that all societies must solve if they are to remain viable.” Culture at the global level of the external environment relates to the interaction of at least one national culture with another. Culture at the national level can result from one nation attributing characteristics to another. National culture is determined by religion, politics, economies, education, language, social structure. It is these determinants, their variations and how they are viewed by other nationalities which define a country’s national culture.
