Abstract
This commentary article is important and relevant, as organizational culture and innovation are essential to health organization’s performance and viability in a dynamic and competitive setting. Organizational culture is the unquenchable drive that propels an organization’s growth and serves as its soul. However, effective internal innovation management is one way that managers and organizations may foster innovation. Health organizations that prioritize service and technological innovation while simultaneously cultivating an appropriate innovation culture to establish a sustainable internal consensus that stimulates innovation are the most inventive. Individuals as well as groups have a deeply ingrained culture that influences how they think and behave, causing health organizations to operate in a way that is rational and consistent.
