national culture
Country's collective identity
National culture is the shared beliefs, values, customs, and practices associated with a particular country or nation-state.
The term appears in business and sociology to explain behavioral differences across borders: National culture affects how employees respond to management styles.
Critics note that it can oversimplify—reducing diverse populations to stereotyped traits.
