                          •   The  different  definitions  clearly  show 
                              culture  to  be  always  a  collective 
                              phenomenon. 
                          •   Culture   is   learnt  consciously    and 
                              unconsciously. 
                          •   It  should  therefore  be  distinguished 
                              from  human nature,  on  the  one  hand, 
                              and from the individual personality, on 
                              the  other.  Cultural  features  are  passed 
                              on in socialization processes. That is why 
                              culture cannot be changed in the short 
                              term: it has a long-term character. 
                          •   Cultural  features  influence  attitudes 
                              towards start-ups and vice versa
