Organisational Culture And Organisational Impacts Of Information Systems: A Review Of The Empirical Literature, Fei Pang, Rajeev Sharma, Reeva Lederman, Suelette Dreyfus

Associate Professor Rajeev Sharma

Organisational culture is an important influence in shaping the organisational impacts of Information Systems. However, the conceptualisation and operationalisation of culture in empirical studies does not reflect the richness of the theoretical literature. In particular, our review finds that the dynamic, emergent and reciprocal nature of the IS-culture relationship has not been adequately examined in the empirical literature. This is partly due to the methodologies employed in existing research. Suggestions for enriching empirical research into the IS- culture relationship are discussed.
