Culture is a cumulative custom of beliefs, values, rituals, and sanctions practiced by a group of people, province or country. It is a much sensitive dimension of internationalization of any business and making it perform in a culturally diverse environment.

It is because they undermine their earlier philosophies of norms, values, and beliefs or neglected the cultural significance of other nations.
