“…Geert Hofstede, a recognized cultural authority, insisted on the need to take cultural dimensions into account in making and implementation of a strategy (Hofstede, Neuijen, Ohayv & Sanders,1990). This statement remains relevant for our time (Isac & Remes, 2018). Yarbrough et al (2010) asserted that the OC, introducing innovations, welcoming risk and entrepreneurship is very important for the successful implementation of strategies.…”

“…During the development (mentioned above) culture determines the features of the formulation and interpretation of strategies; In the process of incarnation, legitimization takes place directly. When implementation takes place in accordance with values and norms, the implemented strategy strengthens the built culture and vice versa (Janićijević, 2011; Isac & Remes, 2018).…”

The purpose of the article was 1) to assess the relationship between the organizational culture (OC) type and business strategy (BS); 2) to prove that OC influences the survival strategy success/implementation; 3) to contribute to the expansion of organizational theory by analyzing the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) strategy palette as the basis for developing an effective company survival strategy during the crisis. To achieve the purpose, correlation analysis between OC types (authors' typology) and BS (Boston Consulting Group and Miles & Snow Models) was used (561 employees of different industries participated in the survey; the data collected laid the foundation for the research). As a result, it was proved that 1) certain types of organizational culture correspond to certain types of strategies; 2) during the period when the company overcomes the recession, OC affects strategic innovation decisions; 3) building a sustainable business ecosystem enhances the positive impact. The main limitations of the study are 1) some elements of subjectivity assessment, 2) constant changes in OC and BS, 3) the probability of different subcultures coexistence. Implications for a Central European audience: The results confirmed that there is a need for managers to 1) take into account the organizational culture characteristics/features to implement chosen strategies successfully; 2) be ready to adapt the OC before the BS is approved; 3) adopt the idea that building an innovation ecosystem can be crucial to confront the crisis with confidence.

“…Rose (2017) upholds that culture refers to the beliefs, norms, values, and the totality of social heritage, which people in the same geographical location share. In the view of Isac and Remes (2018), culture epitomises a powerful force, shaping people's attitudes, characters and actions, thus affecting individuals' willingness to engage in a venture. Culture can also represent "a common mental machine" which serves as a source and representation of group differentiation and diversity (Gill, 2013).…”
