In search of measuring organizational culture: ICT peculiarities

Organizational culture is an unambiguous term with long history, but without clear definition. There exists plurality of models, all of which are rather old. The goal of this paper is to test the appropriateness of these mainstream models in contemporary business setting - in context of two ICT companies of Estonia, an innovation oriented small European Union country. As a result, the usefulness of the models is found to be industry-dependent. Not all models are found to be equally suitable for ICT. Coffee and Jones model is most suitable by bringing out most differences between companies. Harrison and Stoke´s model is next with Cameron and Quinn´s model being the least suitable.
