Culture eats strategy for breakfast” may sound illogical— yet this quote was attributed to legendary management consultant Peter Drucker in 2006, and it is still dis cussed today. What does it mean?

Other research suggests that business leaders are often uncertain about what organizational culture is, no less how to advance it.
