Abstract

An organizational dominant type of culture is good only if it fits its context, whether one means by context the objective conditions of its industry, that segment of its industry specified by a firm’s strategy, or the business strategy itself. Organizational Culture can remain very stable over time yet it is never static. The purpose of this article is to indicate the different dominant organizational culture types that matches and adapts with the different circumstances that a company faces throughout its life cycle.
