Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between cultural dimensions and innovation performance within the EU28 countries in order to identify if cultural dimensions influence the innovation performance. The authors performed a data analysis based on an empirical study using open data of Summary Innovation Index–European Innovation Scoreboard (SII-EIS) and Hofstede cultural dimensions in order to identify innovation performance influencing factors in terms of enablers and blockers. Cultural-conditioned blockers within the innovation phases can be the reason why innovation is working more or less successfully and why certain countries are more or less performing in innovation. An essential finding of the present study was that indulgence as a cultural dimension seems to leverage more than the classic reasons the innovation performance on a nations’ level. Being aware of cultural dimensions, the present article findings can support companies to improve their innovation performance.
