An Analysis of the Organizational Culture of Start-ups
Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Bankowej w Poznaniu - Year 2017, Vol 75, Issue 4
Abstract
The subject of the organizational culture has interested theorists and management practitioners for a long time. Once underrated, nowadays considered as one of the most important intangible elements of organization management, which significantly influences the implementation of the company’s business model. While it is relatively easy to distinguish values, norms or rules in organizations that already have their own business model, it is a challenge in the case of start-ups that do not yet have a plan for generating revenue and maximizing profits. Thus, the main aim of the article is to develop and characterize a model of a start-up’s organizational culture based on those used in existing organizations and identify its fundamental elements. Theoretical considerations are supported by empirical research, which includes the author’s own pilot study conducted as a questionnaire survey of a group of Polish start-ups, and by the results of the European Startup Monitor Report 2016.
