What is corporate culture?

There are as many definitions and explanations of corporate culture as there are academics, consultants, coaches and every person who works now, has worked in the past or plans to work in the future.
But what about the ‘corporate’ in corporate culture?
What is it other than a piece of paper showing that the government recognizes its existence and it owes taxes?
Is it the office buildings that house it? The manuals that explain it? The stock that represents its value?
Actually, a corporation isn’t an entity at all. It’s a group of people all moving in the same direction, united in a shared vision and their efforts to reach a common goal.
That means that the ‘culture’ in corporate culture is about those people and their MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™).
