The dynamics of the life cycle theory and organizational culture: a systematic literature review
SN Business & Economics - 2023
Tóm tắt
The Organizational Life Cycle (OLC) and the Organizational Culture (OC) are two important aspects that determine the ability of an organization to remain operational in a dynamic and competitive market over time. Despite the significance of this topic to the literature on organizations, no review has yet provided a holistic mapping of the relationship between them. To bridge this theoretical gap, this article studies the panorama of the scientific production involving OLC and OC. To achieve this goal, we provide a systematic literature review of studies over a period of 60 years. The results point to a greater amount of work dealing with the underpinnings of Institutional Theory, structural changes, and precepts, strategies, and values established by the organizational culture. In addition, in the last 5 years, the investigations focusing mainly on institutional and strategic factors for the organization can be seen in light of culture and organizational climate. It was possible to identify that there is a tendency for discussions linked to strategy and innovation. Overall, this article provides an essential understanding of the OLC and OC relationship, shedding light on the current state of research and future opportunities in this area.
