Template:Long NPOV Corporate Behaviour is the behaviour of a corporation or corporations. The corporate behaviour exhibited by profit driven (capitalist) and not-for-profit (non-capitalist) corporations can be seen to differ significantly due to the fundamental drive for profit in capitalist corporations, compared to the non-monetary goals often held by non-capitalist corporations.
There are rules that capitalist profit making publicly-traded and privately-owned corporations must heed in order to survive. Not every capitalist corporation will abide by all the rules; however these rules can be seen to underpin the behaviour of all capitalist corporations.
The proposed rules of corporate behaviour are as follows[1]:
As non-capitalist corporations such as NGO's or charities are not driven by the fundamentals of profit and economic growth, these do not show many of the characteristics of capitalist corporations. The behaviour of non-capitalist corporations is however often influenced by these characteristics of capitalist corporations, in similar ways to the influence of corporate behaviour on individuals. Due to this influence non-capitalist corporations can sometimes be seen to exhibit the characteristics of hierarchy, competition and ephemerality.
Due to the dominance of capitalist corporations in Western societies the behaviour of corporations can be seen to have significant impacts on individuals and society. A person or group of people can have links to a corporation or corporations that range from weak to strong, if a person or group of people exhibit corporate behaviour that does not mean the person or group of people is employed by a corporation or corporations. A person or group of people may show corporate behaviour for different lengths of time, for some people they exhibit this behaviour at their place of work; for others it exhibited at work, home and outside the home. Many people display corporate behaviour but do not agree with actions and outcomes that result from it.
The fact that individuals may not agree with the outcomes of corporate behaviour is central to the concept in itself, the characteristics of capitalist corporations do not reflect the characteristics of any individual or group of individuals but are the characteristics required for the survival of capitalist corporations due to the nature of the system within which corporations operate.
