Resumen de Emergence, Culture and Organizational Structure

Marta Posada Calvo, Inés Magdaleno

• In this paper, the relationship between structure and culture within an organization is explored using an agent-based approach. In order to analyze how the organizational structure influences the emergence of organizational culture, an agent-based model of bounded-rational agents (who dynamically interact adapting their effort) is proposed. We have found that formal organizational configurations are more likely to favor the emergence of culture than informal interactions.
