July 22, 2022 

Published in the Journal of Management, the paper was highlighted in the Rotman Commerce News Release Section as “Developing An Intentional Organizational Culture Not Straightforward, New Paper Says. This paper was written by Prof. Toh (University of Toronto — Mississauga), Yeun Joon Kim (University of Cambridge), and Sooyun Baik (Shanghai Tech University). 

The paper analyzes three unique perspectives on culture creation and change — functionality, leader-trait, and cultural transfer perspectives — to improve future research on creative functional cultures. They propose a four-stage model coupled with the theory of coordinated actions to guide how organizations should create functional cultures.
