In order to achieve that goal, it was necessary to create the concept of Didactic Culture. The instrument used for data collection was the in-depth interview. The research problem: How does didactic culture influence teacher performance in a business administration program? Content analysis was used for the processing of information. The population chosen to participate in this research was the faculty of the business administration program of the Business School of a large private higher education institution in Brazil.
