The Impact of Investments on Net Profit, as an Effect of Managerial Flexibility and Adaptive Organizational Culture
Abstract
The continued development of the organization is possible in the context of an adaptive culture in relation to environmental turbulence. Adaptation of the organization implies the existence of a key factor, namely managerial flexibility. In rigid organizational cultures, managerial flexibility cannot be supported. In the present study we analyzed whether managerial flexibility facilitates investments in relation to net profit and it was concluded that in companies with an adaptive organizational culture, managerial flexibility is the "fluid" that supports and guides the entire organizational mechanism. Thus, managerial flexibility becomes the "key driver" of the flexible organization, capable of successfully coping with environmental turbulence to achieve optimal performance.
