Radical Innovation across Nations: The Preeminence of Corporate Culture
研究对比了国家层面的政府政策、劳动力、资本和文化与企业文化对激进创新的驱动作用，基于17个主要经济体759家企业的数据，发现企业文化是最强驱动因素，且商业化比专利更能预测财务绩效。
Radical innovation is an important driver of the growth, success, and wealth of firms and nations. Because of its importance, authors across various disciplines have proposed many theories about the drivers of such innovation, including government policy and labor, capital, and culture at the national level. The authors contrast these theories with one based on the corporate culture of the firm. They test their theory using survey and archival data from 759 firms across 17 major economies of the world. The results suggest the following: First, among the factors studied, corporate culture is the strongest driver of radical innovation across nations; culture consists of three attitudes and three practices. Second, the commercialization of radical innovations translates into a firm's financial performance; it is a stronger predictor of financial performance than other popular measures, such as patents. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for research and practice.
