AB  - Authors: Newton, Kathryne; Laux, Chad; Chennupati, Sai; Riley, KelleyOrganizational Culture in Support of Six Sigma and Innovation: Can it Co-exist?Innovation can be defined as the workforce’s development and successfulimplementation of new ideas applied to overcome the existinganachronous/obsolete products or processes in an attempt to overcome thecompetition posed (Calantone, Cavasgil, & Ahao, 2001; Van De Ven, 1986). SixSigma may be defined as a metric, methodology and management systemfocused on achieving quality by identifying, analyzing and rectifyingirregularities that deviate processes from maximum efficiency (Diorio, 2009;Schroeder, Linderman, Liedtke, & Choo, 2007). Culture refers to “shared norms,values, beliefs and assumptions concerning organizational affairs” (Harrison &Shirom, 1999). It has been stated that both innovation and Six Sigma may bestbe implemented by focusing and refining organizational culture (Kwak & Anbari,2004; Antony & Banuelas, 2002; Hult, Hurley, & Knight, 2002). Four underlyingquestions are discussed in this paper: (1) Are the organizational cultures neededto engender innovation and Six Sigma mutually exclusive? (2) Should Six Sigmanecessarily be data-driven to achieve quality? (3) What are the barriers thataffect a Six Sigma company that wants to innovate? (4) How can a Six Sigmaorganization overcome the barriers that obstruct them from innovating?
