Tiivistelmä
Organizational culture is an important topic for organizations. It supports the sustainable success and resilience of organizations in constantly evolving environments. External and internal influences on organizational culture are more challenging than ever. That causes an urge for organizational adaption to the new onditions if organizations want to stay successful. A fitting organizational culture supports organizations by mak ing them adaptive and resilient. Therewith, organizations should have great interest in
having a fitting organizational culture. This is where guided organizational culture development helps to design the appropriate culture for organizations. The aim of this study is to provide a systematic overview of the body of knowledge about organiza tional culture development. Thus, organizational culture development frameworks are reviewed. The present study was based on a qualitative content analysis, and it re vealed insights into organizational culture development. Firstly, a commonly shared definition of organizational culture is not prevalent. Secondly, cultural development frameworks differ based on their foundation and specification. They do not decisively differ in their general process phases. Thirdly, organizational culture development is
critically reviewed, and it is difficult to assess. Nevertheless, there is consensus that
systematic and guided organizational culture development is feasible and carries multiple advantages.
