Keywords:
organizational culture, business culture, crisis management, business organizations
Abstract
The current article explores and assesses the coming into being of new business culture characteristics due to the exteme conditions of Covid-19 pandemic. Based on conducted focus group with students in Organizational culture module and performed subsequent literature review of scientific and professional literature, and blogs of opinion leaders and companies, four comparatively stable new business culture characteristics are identified – as adoption of new face to face greetings, appropriate e-mail etiquette, new dominating attitude to office and production facility space, and shaping fashion trends for the new normal. Most probable streams of management that may become sources of the emergence of new cultural characteristics for business organizations are also identified by the literature review.
