Abstract
The cultural differences and similarities between supply chain partners can act as an
enabler or barrier for achieving superior performance outcomes, especially in relation to
strategic partnerships. This search deploys a systematic review method in order to review
the current literature on organisational cultures in supply chain contexts. The aim is to
explore the influence of organisational cultures on supply chain relationships and
performance outcomes. The selected papers were categorised and analysed based on
three focus areas: organisational cultures and supply chain performance; organisational
cultures and supply chain relationships management, organisational culture, and buyer supplier relationships; and, supply chain performance. The analysis of the literature
demonstrates that cultural fit is not simply about congruence in organisational cultures
between supply chain partners, but rather how these similar values, beliefs, and business
practices can help to achieve high supply chain performance. Based on the review, a
conceptual framework is provided in order to demonstrate the relationship between
organisational cultures, supply chain relationships, and performance outcomes.
