5 CONCLUSIONS
Organizational culture influences organizational
performance including in the management consulting
industry in Indonesia. The current issues in the
business of millennial workers and digital technology
also influence culture implementation.
For the academic purpose, this study shows that
dominant culture styles in the management consulting
industry in Indonesia. This result is slightly different
than the previous study did by Groysberg et al (2018)
in financial and professional services industry in
global, which are results culture, learning culture and
order culture. The typical work and the shared vison
of the management consulting industry in Indonesia
shaped a certain type of culture style, which
dominantly is resulting culture, learning culture and
purpose culture.
For the practical purpose, the three consulting
firms know their culture styles through this study.
First, all of those companies led by result-oriented
directors, which is shown by the statements of the
directors. This result-oriented behaviour of the
leaders then shaped into result culture of the
organizations. Furthermore, as the consultants should
be updated with knowledge in management and the
millennial workers enjoy learning, this learning
behaviour shaped the learning culture of the
employees in management consulting firms. Since
their shared vision is to give impact to the society
through their consulting and training solutions, it
touched the millennial workers and shaped the
purpose culture. By knowing the current culture style,
those management consulting firms can define the
right intervention programs in order to build a strong
culture that fits their vision and goals.
For further research, it suggested combining this
culture styles and other variables such as employee
engagement, organizational commitment, and
organizational performance. It is also interesting to
study the culture style of global consulting companies
for comparing this study result, and also to other
industries in Indonesia.
