Organizational Culture: Internal and External Fits
认为组织文化对绩效的影响取决于权变因素，将文化概念化为内部契合（凝聚力和一致性）和外部契合（与战略和环境的联系），并探讨不同条件下紧密或松散契合的需求。
The culture of an organization is increasingly being viewed as an important determinant of its performance. This paper adopts the position that the importance (even relevance) of culture to performance is contingency driven. We conceptualize organizational culture in terms of the degree of internal fit (cohesion and consistency) and externalfit (linkages to strategy and the environment). The needfor tight or loose fits under a variety of conditions (within, and external to, the firm) is investigated. Conclusions are drawn regarding the nature of fits appropriate to an organization facing combinations of these conditions.
