Impact of Culture on Technologial Innovation and Enterprise Strategies:A Cross Country Comparison
This paper provides a conceptual framework of cultural explanation for the cross-national variation in innovative capacity and discusses firm strategies in dealing with cultural impacts. The framework identifies six cultural characteristics that appear important to technological innovation and links them to different patterns of behavior across nations. Specifically, cultural traditions and their impact on innovation styles in the USA, Japan, and China are analyzed to demonstrate that cross-national differences in culture are significant and these differences are plausibly linked to their behavior differences. Implications for strategic management in enterprises under different national culture environments are discussed.
