Answer 1

Answer:

A. the atmosphere, spirit and character that pervades the work climate and the values, business principles, and ethical standards that management preaches and practices

Explanation:

Culture is the normally acceptable social behaviour that is expected from someone in a group. It includes beliefs, knowledge, art, law, capabilities, and habits of the group.

The process by which the culture of a group is imbibed is through learning and socialisation.

The norm of a group is the acceptable way one is expected to behave in the group. Like the way one dresses and language.

A company's culture is expressed in the spirit and character that pervades the work climate and the values, business principles, and ethical standards that management preaches and practices.
