  3. Organizational culture is no different. An organization’s culture is what distinguishes it from other organizations. Within the context of commerce, distinguishing factors are sought only to the extent that they provide competitive advantage. Therefore, organizational culture becomes important as it provides an opportunity for organizations to distinguish themselves and leverage their human capital as an element of their competitive advantage.
