Comparison of Innovative Capabilities among the Anglo‐American Countries: : The Case for Structural Influences on Innovation

Abstract

Culture heavily influences a society′s innovative capacity. Most studies place that proportion influenced by culture at between 30 and 50 per cent. What causes the remainder? Discusses differences in innovative capacity between culturally similar countries – the Anglo‐American Cluster – and proposes that much of the remaining variance can be traced to structural differences between those countries.
