This study is set to conduct a qualitative research and investigate the impact of different organizational cultures on implementing servitization within the manufacturing companies. The theoretical framework displayed that clan oriented culture and adhocracy oriented culture appear to be the most suitable organizational cultures for developing service oriented strategy in a company. Ultimately, the results of interviews with different manufacturing firms provide support for this hypothesis. |
