Findings- The results confirm the
hypotheses and unveil the relations
between all typologies and
dimensions of cultures and
components of implementation.
Results clear up the key role of
flexibility of cultures in strategy
implementation process.
Additionally, findings verify flexible
cultures have to do more with policy
formation and structural factors in
implementation. Moreover, results
reveal the significant correlation
between strategic emphases among
culture and implementation of the
strategy.

Findings can advise thoughtful

of their organizations culture in
order to successfully implement the
strategy, simultaneously urge them
to lead the organization through
flexible cultures.

There are significant

Originality/value - The significant
value of this research refers to its
focus on typologies and dimensions
of culture and strategy
implementation which investigates
their correlations. Due to the fact
that the subject has not been
studied in depth, this paper
provides empirical evidence to
confirm these relations exist.
Particularly, clan and adhocracy
culture have more relevance to
implementation.
