“…On the basis of the commonly adopted competing values framework, we integrate the adhocracy and developmental organizational culture for their closeness in flexibility and external focus. The adhocracy/developmental culture emphasizes future orientation, risk taking (Ahmed, 1998), flexibility (Kitchell, 1995), openness, rewards for change (O’Reilly, 1989; Ruvio et al , 2014), and organizational learning (Naranjo Valencia et al , 2010; Liao et al , 2015). These cultural characteristics are supportive of firms to adapt the new environment and bring critical resources together to engage in innovative and creative ventures.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review of the studies that have analyzed the impact of culture on innovation. Design/methodology/approach-We carried out a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed articles in the past 37 years (January 1980-January 2017). Based on a total of 61 identified primary studies, we developed two clusters of culture definition studied in relation to innovation, including organizational culture and national culture. Findings-After reporting the findings of the systematic literature review, we discuss how a variety of culturally related factors combine to facilitate or restrict innovation performance in their corresponding cluster. Our findings highlight the complex and idiosyncratic relationship between culture and innovation. Future research lines are recommended. Research limitations/implications-We adopt a systematic literature review method to probe into existing literature, inevitably missing some empirical studies. Implications for future research are suggested. Practical implications-The paper offers interesting implications for managers and academia. For business practitioners, this study can provide a useful reference regarding the role of cultures in the corporate internal management or international operations; for scholars, our study can provide a current research landscape and development process in this field. Originality/value-The findings are derived from a systematic literature review that has studied the influence of culture on innovation. In addition, implications and insights as to where future research might be usefully inquired in this field are provided.

“…Theoretically, Martins & Terblanche (2003) argue that institutions with a cultural orientation that values organic structures and flexibility (adhocracy culture) will favor product innovation. Most empirical studies confirm this assertion (Ruvio et al 2014;Liao et al, 2015;Naranjo-Valencia et al, 2010;Naranjo-Valencia et al, 2016). Tian et al (2018) are of the view that the characteristics of adhocracy culture are supportive of firms to adapt to a new environment and bring critical resources together to engage in innovative and creative ventures.…”

Rural Community Banks (RCBs) are important rural development partners in Ghana. They are the lifeline of credit to small businesses and individuals who do not have the necessary collateral and capacity to borrow from the traditional commercial banks. However, the RCBs are confronted with increasing customers’ demands, keen competition, and poor financial performance which has led to 26% of the country’s RCBs earmarked for liquidation. This is a serious threat to the sustainability of the country’s RCBs prompting serious concern among stakeholders of rural banking. Previous studies have looked at the issue from the perspective of regulations, corporate governance, and ownership structure. This paper seeks to look at the problem from the organizational culture and product innovation point of views.Based on the Competing Values Framework and empirical studies, hypotheses were stated and tested using data collected from 92 RCBs.The data were analyzed using the Smart PLS of SEM.The findings are that RCBs in Ghana exhibit four different cultural types but the dominant culture is control-oriented. Product innovation has a strong impact on financial performance. Cultural orientations such as compete-oriented and innovate-oriented can support RCBs to introduce innovative financial products (product innovation) while control-oriented cannot.Based on the findings, the RCBs are encouraged to create a Research and Product Development (RPD) unit. This unit should develop a cultural orientation that values and encourages freedom of thought, and experimentation of innovative ideas. The bank as an institution should value customer and competitor interactions which serve as a feedback platform for the development of innovative financial products and services.The theoretical contribution of this paper is that organizational cultural orientations that value and focus on customer satisfaction, and interaction with competitors nurture product innovation.

“…The semiconductor industry is a very crucial industry in the economic development of Taiwan. Its industry chain is comprehensive, and in terms of its productivity, as compared to that of the United States, South Korea and Japan, it is in the leadership position (Liao et al , 2015). Therefore, the focus of this study for the purpose of information collection and data analysis is Taiwan's crucial semiconductor industry.…”

PurposeThe aim of this article is to construct a performance evaluation framework that can be employed in companies to enhance their business operations and strengthen their financial advantage in the current environment. To validate the approach, a case example has been included to assess the practicality and validity of this approach when applied in a real environment.Design/methodology/approachThis study focuses on an important part of the strategic planning process: internal scrutiny and environmental (external) scanning, in which an evaluation of company performance is divided into two stages by using network DEA and the cross-efficiency approach. In addition, this article employs Miles and Snow's typology for classifying the strategies used by companies.FindingsThe analytical results show that the proposed framework can be useful for companies seeking to evaluate which strategies may be the most appropriate, based on Miles and Snow's typology, to effectively reallocate limited resources.Research limitations/implicationsThe evaluation in this study only uses financial data and does not take other nonfinancial indicators into consideration.Originality/valueThis research provides value by classifying each company included in the study in terms of its capability and financial efficiency according to Miles and Snow's system of strategy classification. Second, an internal and external performance measuring framework is constructed. Finally, some propositions for top management are provided by analyzing the financial advantages of using a performance evaluation framework that can help top management make decisions more objectively.
