Corporate culture embodies the shared values within an organization. In today's business world, this culture and its underlying values are crucial in driving employee motivation, engagement, and achieving optimal results. We view corporate culture as an ecosystem where values lay the groundwork, shaping a vibrant organizational climate. This environment fosters creative and productive energy among employees, uniting them towards a common goal.

The primary role of corporate identity is to help companies gain and maintain a competitive edge. It represents how the organization is perceived by employees, customers, and stakeholders, and is often linked to its public visual representation. Modern corporate communication is defined by the culture, beliefs, attitudes of its people, management styles, ownership, and strategic approaches. Corporate culture and identity are vital elements of the marketing mix for any organization. 

For Georgian businesses on the international stage, integrating culture and identity can significantly enhance their marketing strategies in several ways: 

Team principles bring the rule to life, the rule and the system are understood as a tool to get the job done in the best way. Teamwork is an integral part of the transformational corporate culture. It requires awareness and respect of one's own and team members' strengths and weaknesses. Successful team play is impossible without openness, failure, and success recognition, sharing and self-reflection. It is important that they speak their own language without losing their uniqueness, balance each other and ensure the work, the success of which will often depend on the competence, ability, responsibility and coordinated work of many people. Team leadership also involves understanding that even the best qualities of a person can become a barrier if they are not in the right place and in the right role, and that all qualities are equally important to achieve exceptional success.         (Source: Spottabl) 

“An interesting observation was made on relations between the employees, their interaction with one another and the style of their work in case of normal cases with customers as well as conflict situations or in the case of customer complaint. Again, the interaction among the employees was observed according to the classification of foreign, joint, and Georgian companies and according to the observation made, conclusions on three aspects: communication, teamwork and coordination were prepared. Communication among the employees while performing their tasks was the highest among Georgian organizations. This can be partially explained by the lack of well-defined responsibilities for each employee. Georgian organizations tend to have more common task orientation when similar line of workers doing their share of work and are not separately responsible for one particular aspect of the job.”(Source of quotation and chart: Maisuradze 2016)  

In conclusion, a comprehensive strategy for corporate identity and culture touches all aspects of a business. A strong, cohesive corporate identity distinguishes a company from its competitors, fosters trust, and solidifies its market presence. Maintaining this identity across all company facets is essential to prevent missteps and alienating stakeholders. With the growing importance of open communication and teamwork, implementing motivational strategies is key to maintaining efficient collaboration. Clearer goal setting, defined roles, authority lines, and performance-based promotion prospects are vital. These elements will enhance employee motivation and commitment, a feature currently less observed in Georgian organizations. Therefore, a greater emphasis on employee involvement and clear goal-setting is needed for further development.
