Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of organisational culture on the exploitation of three technological innovations: Building Information Modelling, Big Data Analytics and Internet of Things (BBI) considering the role of organisational culture as a determinant of organisational competitive advantage. After reviewing the literature on organisational culture and its relationship with competitiveness, this paper further analyses the critical culture constructs that impact specifically on exploitation of Building Information Modelling, Big Data Analytics and Internet of Things which leads to maximise organisational competitive advantage. Findings reveal that organisational culture can be both positively and negatively associated with aforementioned technological innovations depending on its key attributes for exploitation. Hence, culture of an organisation has the potential of fostering innovative technologies, but can also act as a barrier depending on how they are operationalised. The findings additionally show that in order to enhance innovation, neither a flexibility focus (which is rooted in collaboration and shared commonalities) nor an external focus (built upon the dynamics of competition and achieving concrete results) alone would suffice- both are equally critical in characterising organisational culture. The paper focuses on a context, where there is a lack of studies on the impact of cultural constructs that are specifically relevant to BBI, which lays the basis for the originality of this paper. Findings can guide managers’ efforts in organisational culture developments which foster exploitation of these technologies towards maximising the competitive edge.
