Organizational culture: sectoral approximation in Bogotá
Abstract
This research sought to identify the profiles of organizational culture in four productive sectors of Bogotá, and research the association of these profiles with their innovational performance. With the model and survey form of Denison (1998, 2005), a sample of 141 companies which belong to 4 subsectors was made to estimate the sectoral profiles of organizational culture. Contrary to what was expected in the study, there was no evidence of significant differences among general profiles or corporation culture of sectors, although there were differences in the association degrees between innovation and organizational culture variables in each sector. There were differences in the score of organizational culture variables of innovating companies in relation to those less innovating enterprises. Finally, there is statistical association among organizational cultures and innovation characteristics, finding that the discrimination by sectors also explains innovation.Downloads
