Chapter Chapter 5 in Shared Entrepreneurship, 2014, pp 79-96 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “Organizational culture” has been defined as a system of shared, taken-for-granted assumptions that holds a group together and that determines how it reacts to its environment.1 More succinctly, it has been described as “the way we do things around here.”2 Organizations with healthy cultures are said to have enhanced employee morale and team cohesiveness, enhanced employee performance, and strengthened alignment toward goal achievement. The purpose of this chapter is to describe the cultural components most typically found in shared entrepreneurship (SE) firms, and to provide support for the benefits to be derived from such cultures in terms of organizational performance.
