The aim of this volume is to further develop the relationship
between culture and manifold phenomena of creativity, innovation
and entrepreneurship in order to promote further and better
understanding how, why, and when these phenomena are manifested
themselves across different cultures. Currently, cross-cultural
research is one of the most dynamically and rapidly growing areas.
At the same time, creativity, inventiveness, innovation, and
entrepreneurship are championed in the literature as the critical
element that is vital not just for companies, but also for the
development of societies. A sizable body of research demonstrates
that cultural differences may foster or inhibit creative,
inventive, innovative and entrepreneurial activities; and each
culture has its own strengths and weaknesses in these regards.
Better understanding of cultural diversity in these phenomena can
help to build on strengths and overcome weaknesses. Cross-cultural
studies in this field represent a comparatively new class of
interdisciplinary research. This is a field where cultural,
sociological, psychological, historical, economic, management,
technology and business studies closely intersect. In this book, a
global team of researchers representing Europe, Asia, and the
Americas review, analyze, structure, systematize and discuss
various concepts, assumptions, speculations, theories, and
empirical research which focus on the effect of national cultures
on creativity, invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship. They
argue that national culture is not only an extremely important
determinant of innovation and business development, but also
demonstrate that some aspects relating to these phenomena may be
universal among all cultures, thereby identifying those factors
that may easily be transferred across cultures from those that are
unique to their specific context.
