Strong Corporate Cultures and Firm Performance: Are There Tradeoffs?
研究发现强文化企业财务表现更好且更稳定，但行业波动性增加时这种可靠性优势会减弱甚至消失，表明强文化在稳定环境中益处最大。
The article reports on a study pertaining to the relationship between strong corporate culture and firm performance. Researchers discovered that companies with strong cultures had better and more reliable financial performance than firms with weaker cultures. As industry volatility increased the “reliability advantage” of firms with stronger cultures decreased and eventually became nonexistent. The implication is that having a consensus about company goals and values provides the biggest benefit when environments are stable.
