    Abstract: Every organization has a culture. The corporate culture has a powerful influence throughout the company and affects many things, from decisions or even the success of the business. In a world which is increasingly global, a firm stretches business across national boundaries and operates in an international arena. Through focusing on the research questions include (1) how does a company envision and shape the corporate culture, (2) what should a firm do to implement global corporate culture, and (3) how can a firm balance global corporate culture and the norms in host countries, this research attempts to determine the process of how a corporate culture is envisioned and steps to shape and implement the global corporate culture. A global corporate culture can be described as a multinational corporation applied the global mindset at the founding source that the firm is composed of a multinational management team and common beliefs among employees in all locations.

    The key findings of this research are (1) the envisioning of a global corporate culture started as early as the business start-up period; founders and leaders have a profound influence of the corporate culture in the early stage (2) when shaping corporate culture, identifying desired outcomes first, and then setting out best practices and control mechanisms (3) revising corporate culture proactively when company strategy changes is critical to ensure the existence of strong alignment (4) the management team should endorse and promote cross-country communications and (5) with adherence to common beliefs and respect to different culture, a company can minimize efforts in terms of corporate culture implementation in the global context.
