Abstract:
Organizational culture has been one of the most studied and theorized
concepts in organizational development. New ways of working and
change in technology have created a greater need for strategic
innovation and co-ordination across units.
The prime objective of this research dissertation is to investigate the
relationship between organizational culture and innovativeness among
the Sri Lankan information technology firms with an emphasis to large
scale firms. The study began with assessing organization culture traits
among 3 large scale IT firms based on the Denison’s organizational
cultural framework and it measures four culture traits namely,
involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission. It moreover
assesses the types of innovation, which are predominant among the
firms and also investigates whether there is a significant relationship
between dominant culture traits and the innovativeness of the three
firms independently.
