Organization Culture
As we discussed in Chapter 2, an organization’s culture is the
set of values, beliefs, and symbols that help guide behavior. A strong, appropriately
focused organizational culture can be used to support innovative activity. A well-
managed culture can communicate a sense that innovation is valued and will be
rewarded and that occasional failure in the pursuit of new ideas is not only acceptable
but even expected. In addition to reward systems and intrapreneurial activities, firms
such as Apple, Google, LG Electronics, Tata, Amazon, and HP are all known to have
strong, innovation-oriented cultures that value individual creativity, risk taking, and
inventiveness.
