Tóm tắt

Examines two temporal elements of organizational culture, polychronicity and speed values, and their effects on organizational performance. The study of these dimensions of culture and their effects on firm effectiveness is especially relevant for leaders who are responsible for the implementation of a firm’s culture as one of the firm’s strategic resources. The impacts of these temporal elements are examined individually and within the context of hypercompetitive industries.
