Anthropologists have defined culture as a body of learned belief, values, traditions, and guides for behavior sharing among members of a group. This idea of culture has been particularly useful for understanding and differentiating among work organizations and the behavior of people in them (Trevino & Nelson, 2014).

Focus your discussion on the following:

• What are the cultural frameworks for defining business ethics within organizations?      
• How should organizations undertake a cultural change? What cultural systems should be implemented? Which should not be implemented? 
• Are ethics entirely learned, or is it in part inherited and therefore genetic?
