The enterprise managers' decision making will depend on their sensibility, belief and sense of worth, which are strongly affected by the culture environments.In recent years, some scholars try to use regional culture which is an environment variable to analysis company's investment decision, so in theoretical area already reach a consensus of the relationship between the social culture environment and company's investment behavior, but they still not figure out the mechanism of the action.
