Kultura organizacji, planowanie i innowacyjność polskich firm w dobie pandemii
Crisis-Proof Innovation: Organizational Culture, Planning and Innovation of Polish Companies in the Age of the Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: In the face of the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, two dimensions of corporate activity have become a particularly prominent subject of public and academic debate. The first is the trans- formation of organizational cultures stemming from the changes in work organization. The second is the shortening of the planning perspective in corporate activities caused by the uncertainty of the business environment. In this article, we analyse the dynamics of transformations in organizational cultures and action plans of Polish companies as well as how they link with resilience to the pandemic crisis in the area of innovation. The source of data are the results of a panel study conducted by us and the Human Capital Balance team on a representative sample of Polish medium and large enterprises. We show that, contrary to predictions relying on theoretical perspectives emphasising the importance of flexibility of organizational cultures and structures for innovativeness, in times of crisis companies with a stable hierarchical culture and stable action plans have better chance of introducing innovations.
