DOI:
https://doi.org/10.15665/dem.v18i3.2422Abstract
This business case describes the organizational culture of the SIIGO company, which explains the consolidation of its business success. For this, systematic information search techniques in the company databases were applied, as well as participant observation. Also, unstructured interviews were carried out at the top, middle, and base levels. The results show that there are elements of SIIGO's organizational culture, oriented to the development of internal and external competences, mainly responsible for the success of the company.
