ABSTRACT
Culture
is a very wide concept if applied to entrepreneurial organizations, but it is
also one of the most powerful drivers of entrepreneurial behaviour and choices.
This paper is going to explore the impact of the organizational culture on
outsourcing choices, providing conceptual insights in order to understand
better the way the organizational culture can influence the evaluation of the
factors conditioning the outsourcing decision. Even though the choice of
outsourcing is mainly based on rational factors, the findings show that
organizational culture could have a
relevant influence on attitudes towards outsourcing, either in the choice
planning and making stage or in the
implementation one referring to the nature and to the structure of the
client-vendor relationship. Methodologically, this paper is conceptual and
based on reviewing existing research, and strives to contribute to existent
literature putting together the theoretical concerns about organizational
culture and strategic outsourcing.
