Summary

The article analyzes one of the basic conceptual universals of philosophy, which is also included in the basic concepts of the broadly understood corporate culture. In the professional discourse, he is matched by an economic term with terminological meanings and uses in economics. The analyzed concept is ‘value’.
Values – these are both material and abstract objects and phenomena that are valued and desired by people through their activities in the organization, belonging to it and to the team. This conditions their behavior in such a way that organizational values ​​often dominate over the cultural values ​​assimilated in childhood. The adopted values ​​determine the norms – unwritten rules on which the social life in the organization is based.
The analysis carried out in the article allows for a more precise understanding of the concept of value in business discourse, necessary both for the activity of translators and for any type of participation in intercultural communication, especially in multinational corporations.
