Abstract:

Organizational culture encompasses both tangible and intangible elements from the environment in which it operates, influencing employees' work behaviour. Open-context cultures promote a high level of experimentation, especially with contemporary practices and development tools. This research explores the role of organizational culture and capital in driving digital innovation, technology and related competencies within management settings. Based on recent empirical research, the paper examines how diverse values, practices, leadership behaviours and finances within organisations enable or impede innovation through technology adoption. It examines key drivers and enablers that provide recommendations for managers and academics who wish to realise a successful digital transformation while nurturing innovation within the organisation. This paper consolidates findings from peer-reviewed journals and statistical data derived from reports to add practical implications and guidance informed by academic research.
