Despite the accumulated evidence of organizational culture’s importance to organizational life, there are still many pressing, unanswered questions about how culture plays a role in organizations' efforts to navigate an increasingly complex world. As such, more research is needed to showcase new forms of organizational culture, new mechanisms that explain how cultures strengthen or weaken, and new outcomes that organizational cultures promote in modern markets. In particular, there is a need to broaden thinking about how culture might help organizations to survive - and thrive - in complex and unstable environments. In this vein, the papers in this proposed symposium examine new frontiers in organizational culture and examine how organizational cultures emerge, change over time, and create unique, often counterintuitive outcomes for modern organizations.
