This simple yet vital concept is at the heart of the business strategy they have in place.
Culture
The culture of an organization is like its personality. For a global firm like PwC with numerous offices around the global, the culture at each firm will be different even though the fundamental principles are shares across all the firms. The people in the organization are really the ones to develop
