Towards simulating the impact of culture on organizations (abstract)

This article describes conceptual connexions between a theory of culture and of organizations. These connexions aim at determining key features that should be observed in an agent-based model integrating these aspects: we describe concepts to be considered when modeling the influence of culture on individuals and thus the global consequences of culture that should result at the organizational level. We describe in particular the impact of culture on organizational performance (efficiency, robustness, flexibility).
