I believe the cited work is "The Company They Keep: Founders' Models for Organizing New Firms" by M Diane Burton, 2001. [0] That's 20 year old model. It's a chapter in the book "The Entrepreneurship Dynamic: Origins of Entrepreneurship and the Evolution of Industries" [1].
Any how, the paper talks about 3 dimensions of culture: attachment, selection, and coordination & control. Rishi Dean's summary [2] is OK.
From my perspective, I would look at trust, which Laszlo Bock has reported on, where your prospective organization's products are in market, and how that organization figures out what to build.
FWIW, Abstract for "Founder's Models" -- This chapter examines the employment models founders use as they begin to construct new firms. The empirical setting is a sample of emerging technology firms in Silicon Valley. This chapter focuses on two questions: (1) Why are new firms founded under different conceptual models? and (2) What are the factors that lead a founding team to espouse a particular employment model?
