	12 Culture Factors of Drennan Drennan (1992) proposed twelve key factors that shape the culture of a business. These are: 1. Influence of a dominant leader – the vision, management style and personality of the founder or leader in a business often has a significant influence on the values that the business tries to promote; 2. History and tradition of the business – how things have always been done (and why); 3. Type of technology used by the business and the types of goods and/or services it produces; 4. Industry or sector the business is in, and how much and what type of competition it faces; 5. Customers of the business – who they are and what they expect; 6. Company expectations – based to a large extent on past performance; 7. Types of information and control systems used; 8. Legislation and wider business environment; 9. Procedures and policies within the business – ever-evolving, but often a good indicator of underlying values; 10. Reward systems and the measurement of performance; 11. Organization - how the business is organised and resourced; 12. Goals, values and beliefs – reflected in objects, actions and language.
