Corporate culture on the other hand refers to those cultures deliberately created by management to achieve specific strategic ends.

Compare and contrast two models of human motivation drawing out their implications for their effectiveness in managing people at work.

When considering the foundations of motivation, it can also be defined as a person’s perspective on what they consider to be motivation (‘New World Encyclopaedia McClelland, David’ n.d.).
