Organizational culture is the way a business thinks, acts, and responds to the everyday business challenges it faces. Culture is very often a reflection of the size of a business, and is resistive to change as the size of the business changes. The business culture is most clearly reflected in the shared beliefs implied in the statements "This is the way we do things here" and "We have always done it this way". An inability to change the culture of a business as it grows is the single biggest reason that most businesses fail to achieve sustainable, transformational, step change in business results.

Manufacturing businesses go through well defined growth stages in the life of the business. The following chart summarizes these growth stages.

Each business stage has a characteristic culture relating to its size, which results in the organizational structure, work processes, systems, skills, and people the business attracts. As the business changes from stage to stage, these organizational characteristics also need to change to suit the needs of the next level.
