Defining Culture and Lassoing Smoke

Thank you for taking my survey and assisting in an attempt at defining Organizational Culture. Or, as the title says, attempting to lasso smoke. I've curated a number of popular definitions and popular metaphors about organizational culture. I'm merely trying to determine the most popular one's - and why. This Survey is part fun, part life-and-death serious. But mostly fun. I appreciate your time, your answers and your assistance. Giddy-up.

Question Title

* 3. For the answer that LEAST resonated with you, can you tell me why that left you cold?

Question Title
