Recent research on sources of ... regional economic differences stresses the crucial role of culture, especially culture of the organizations-as most powerful institutions in modern society. For example, it finds that the difference between US regions in terms of economic development results do not result from technology alone, but also from the development of culture. The level of development culture, and within it especially the economic cultures, importantly define the development and characteristics of organizations of all societies. The process of organizational development can be defined as the totality of the following phases: Supplying enterprise, Efficient Enterprise, Quality Enterprise, Flexible Enterprise, Innovative Enterprise, and Sustainable Enterprise. Each of these phases is based on a specific economical culture, which embraces different levels of transformation of important factors of organizations. This contribution discusses two theses: (1) the direction of development of a country is critically dependent on the influence of the surrounding culture, especially in the area of organization, and (2) working and behavior in organizations are importantly defined by the prevailing economical culture.
