The Power of Culture and Relationships

Culture and the relationships between individuals can be influential and resistant to change. They shape the way we do things and can be stickier than we realize. DNA may be permanent, but our cultural beliefs and practices are harder to shift. Case in point: Blockbuster's refusal to adapt to the changing market, which ultimately led to their downfall. Understanding who we serve and what they need is crucial in navigating cultural shifts and adapting to new opportunities.
