Why is popular Culture relevant to a business environment?

 

Popular culture is relevant to me in a business environment because I work in a children’s hospital.  Our hospital needs to be aware of what kids like to make the décor and patient rooms as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.  These things make the patients and families want to return.  The hospital also uses social media, such as Facebook and YouTube, to show some of the great outcomes for patients who have been to our hospital.  These same popular culture tools may also be what attracts world renowned physicians to the hospital.  The hospital is always looking to improve on things such as how a patient is checked in, how much time they spend waiting for a physician and on what can be done to make the visit as short as possible.  The hospital needs to continue being up-to-date on what is popular to keep the décor’ fresh and enjoyable to patients.  The hospital also needs to make sure it’s using the most up-to-date technology in order to keep attracting the best physicians and remain competitive.
