“…Some studies have focused on the relationship between organizational culture and business excellence, but they have reached different conclusions about whether companies should maintain the existing culture when implementing business excellence or change it and, if so, how (Kekale and Kekale, 1995). The role of organizational culture in achieving business excellence requires more research, and empirical studies should take into consideration that business excellence should be reviewed from a systems perspective (Gogheri et al, 2013).…”

The relationship between organizational culture and business excellence is also a relatively new area for research (Gogheri et al, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discover the impact of different dimensions of organizational culture (mission culture, adaptability culture, involvement culture and consistency culture) on business excellence results criteria (customer results, people results, society results and business results) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and explore the moderating role of information and communication technology (ICT) use in both service and manufacturing industries. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected by questionnaire from 448 managers in nine companies that have won the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award in the last three years. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the data. Findings Organizational culture is significantly related to business excellence. However, these effects varied for different business excellence criteria. Three organizational culture types had a significant positive role in achieving excellent customer-related results. All four types of organizational culture had a positive role in achieving excellent people-related results. Only two culture types had significant role in achieving excellent society-related results. Business results were positively related to a balance between the four types of organizational culture. ICT use moderated the relationship between organizational culture and results related to customers, people and business, but not society. Research limitations/implications This study had some conceptual limitations. In particular, it considered the organizational culture as four types in the research model, but without structuring the indices under each type. It also had some methodological limitations. It was cross-sectional and used a self-administered questionnaire, which means that no causal relationships can be implied, and there may have been some bias in responding. Originality/value This is one of the first studies that investigate the relationship between organizational culture and business excellence in UAE excellence award-winning companies.

“…It concentrates on the improvement of competitive condition of a company or firm in an industry or a special market. Totally, the business strategy can be competitive (fighting against all competitors for gaining profit) or cooperative (co-operating with one or more competitors to cope with them) or a combination of both (Sadeghi et al, 2013;Jahanshahi et al, 2011d).…”

Organizational culture and strategy are linked because organizational strategy can be devised by studying the organizational culture in place. In other words, organizational strategy is influenced by the culture set in the organization. Organizational culture and strategy are often part of the major contributing factors to how far a business will proceed. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between organizational culture and the competitive strategies in Iran-Khodro Automotive Company. The research was conducted in Iran-Khodro Automotive Company. The employees were considered as the population of the study and a questionnaire was designed for the purpose of data collection. Results show that there is a significant relationship between strategy and organizational culture. Considering a minor difference between differentiation and lower cost strategies, the company's strategies could be mentioned as a combination of the two. Furthermore, in terms of its competitive strategies, the company seems to pursue differentiation strategy rather than focus strategy. In addition, analysis of the company's organizational culture characteristics demonstrates that some of these characteristics are not in coordination with company's strategies in specific cases in the Company.
