Abstract
Firms strive for improving their performance, and organizational culture has been
recognized as an important driver of better performance. In parallel, strategy is
viewed as an important contextual variable that influences organizational culture
as well as performance. This study has two main goals: (1) investigating the
relationship between strategic practices and innovation performance, and (2)
determining if strategy has a direct and/or an indirect, culture-mediated effect on
innovation performance, and if this effect varies across strategic practices and
culture profiles. The research model and hypotheses devised are tested using data
collected from 250 Brazilian and Danish manufacturing companies. This study
contributes to the strategy-organization design-performance debate by showing
that strategy has a direct and a mediated effect on performance. Firms supporting
their strategy with a suitable cultural profile achieve the strongest performance
effects.
