조직문화와 BPC 유형의 적합도가 BPC성공에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

Business Process Change(BPC) is regarded as a salient factor to improve an organizations` efficiency in the current fast-changing business environment. Despite the tremendous popularity and great potential, the field of BPC adoption is littered with remarkable failures. Consequently, there have been many studies that have tried to identify the environmental factors that lead to successful BPC. However, most of them have not considered the effect of the interaction between the environmental factors on BPC success. According to Klempa(1995), the fit between environmental factors of a company may have the impact on its BPC success. Under this background, this paper empirically examines the effects of the fit between the type of BPC and the organization`s culture on the success of BPC. Organization`s cultures, organizational learning, as well as knowledge sharing are the dominant causes that have impact on the innovation characters of organization. Whether an organization has safety-oriented homogeneous culture or it has the change-oriented heterogeneous culture may have impact on its implementation of BPC. Also the implementation of BPC may be affected by whether the organization adopts the improvement project which accompanies only small changes or it adopts the innovation project which leads to critical changes. Thus, we analyzed the effect of the fit between the organization`s culture and its BPC type on BPC success by using the survey data collected from the companies that have adopted BPC. The findings presented in this paper show that the organization having heterogeneous culture practicing innovation project and the organization having homogeneous culture practicing the improvement project resulted in the excellent BPC success.
