The scientific references consider that the influence of culture on organization and leading, on management in general, should be examined from two viewpoints: that of national culture and corporate culture. Although, there is a direct relationship between the two types of culture, and they are mutually influencing each other, they are not identical phenomena, they are different in nature. Over time, specialists have confirmed the influence of national and corporate culture on the behaviour of managers, on their style and work behaviour, reaching the conclusion that corporate culture does not erase or diminish the national culture; on the contrary, sometimes it even maintains or increases the national differences.

Issues of Organizational Culture in Romania – A Case Study
Review of Economic and Business Studies, 2016
The present paper analyzes, through a case study, the organizational culture of a typical Romanian company from the textile industry. The company resulted from the privatization process, being a successful example in its field. The initial, socialist enterprise from which the analyzed company was created, had a long history prior to 1989; thus, although the newly created company has about 20 years of evolution, actually, the mother-company from which it was privatized has more than a decade of tradition.In order to collect data, we used two methods: direct, non-participative observation, together with a sociological survey based on a semi-structured interviewing technique. The interviews were conducted with the top managers - the strategic management and the managers from the human resources department, sales and purchasing departments. The observation and the interviews were undertaken during the period 2011-2012. For the analysis of the collected data, we used a systemization meth...
The Culture of Romanian Organization: The Diagnosis of the Remaning Mentalities
2010
After 20 years of transition, the culture of Romanian companies is still dominated by some remaining block culture mentalities proper to Eastern and Central European countries. Although, from a technical point of view the transition may be regarded as an ended process, it is certain that there is still a communist inheritance strongly integrated in this culture in series of remaining mentalities. Such mentalities are to be found in the culture of Romanian companies framed into a vicious circle of inertia representing significant change resisting structures. Thus, this paper displays the results of a pilot study meant to establish the diagnosis of the dominant values of Romanian companies' culture. The results reveal the fact that although some reminiscences of the communist period are still integrated in the culture of Romanian companies some of those mentalities have been overcome.

The reality of today's global organizations is that organizational culture must recognize cultural diversity.
