Abstract
Hispanics or Latinos are the largest minority of the United
States population. The majority of these minorities are
concentrated in the Southwest, in which Texas is located. With the continued immigration and the close proximity of Hispanics with Mexico and other Latin American countries, Mexican-Americans have shown retention of their ethnic culture and social forms. This research effort is to determine to what extent Hispanic culture is being incorporated into American organizations. A survey was developed and administered to small businesses in the South Texas
region. Based on these results, suggestions are provided to assist American-based cultures in incorporating Hispanic cultures within their organization.
