| Abstract: | An exploratory field study of the relations between corporate culture and economic performance is reported. The method of assessing a company's culture is presented, then hypotheses on relations between values, management practices and economic performance are proposed and discussed. The study was limited to five French single business companies operating in mature industries with a differentiation strategy. Cultural intensity and homogeneity and some cultural attributes appeared to be related to the firms' growth. On the other hand, the relations between profitability and the companies' cultural attributes were less significant. Some hypotheses are suggested for further validation. |
