Abstract
So different in content, yet triadic models share interesting features as well as deeper investigation potential. The relationships between triad’s elements are not only conceptual but operational as well. Three examples are given, as the fourth case is further analyzed in depth. Objective. The paper aims to reveal the research potential of triadic models by examining the triad Technology-Efficiency-Culture at the organization level. The analysis potential of triadic models is emphasized, by systematic investigation of the two-by-two inter-relationships, in a triple S holistic approach. This paper focus is on the last triad case which is both a novel approach and new integrative analysis. Trying to bridge the literature gap, the authors propose a discussion exploring the possible inter-links between the three elements of the triad. Trying to bridge the literature gap, the authors propose a discussion exploring the possible inter-links between the three elements of the triad. The results of this endeavor are twofold encouraging: (i) by underlying the investigation potential of triadic models, in general, and (in particular) the potential of the triadic model technology-efficiency-organizational culture; and (ii) by implications for business managers, in general, and (in this particular case), for company managers while making strategic decisions, considering criteria linked to different business sectors and resources. The study of the triad of technology—efficiency—organizational culture is PhD research in progress that has its inherent limitations. The most serious one is the integrated approach of the triad’s elements—which is also the main further research path.

According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary—(https://oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/triad) the noun triad defines a group of three related people or things (as the classic triad of the visual arts: sculpture, architecture and painting). However, Oxford Dictionary of Business (Oxford University Press, Second Edition, 1996) does not mention this word.
