Organisational culture is pivotal in successfully implementing lean management. However, studies on organisational culture-lean relationship found contrasting results and further research is needed to better understand the culture-lean fit. We levered on the Competing Values Framework, several soft and hard lean practices and a configuration approach to analyse the overall effect of organisational culture on the various lean practices. Data from the High Performance Manufacturing project are used. Results show that there is a unique culture that fits best with all lean practices. We found that the organisational culture dimensions seem to interact in pairs with hard and soft practices.

Abstract
Organisational culture is pivotal in successfully implementing lean management. However, studies on organisational culture-lean relationship found contrasting results and further research is needed to better understand the culture-lean fit. We levered on the Competing Values Framework, several soft and hard lean practices and a configuration approach to analyse the overall effect of organisational culture on the various lean practices. Data from the High Performance Manufacturing project are used. Results show that there is a unique culture that fits best with all lean practices. We found that the organisational culture dimensions seem to interact in pairs with hard and soft practices.Pubblicazioni consigliate
