Abstract

Fast environmental changes have increased the importance of innovation for firms. In this sense, the national culture of innovation is an important factor to promote openness to innovation and improve a country's firms' innovation process. This research seeks to answer the following question: Does the support to innovate intensify the influence of the national cultural on firms' openness to innovation? The aim is to verify whether the relationship between national culture and openness to innovation is mediated by the support to innovate. Using a database from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) composed by 2,636 companies and applying the structural equations modelling (SEM) technique, this study achieved contributions after testing some determinants for openness to innovation, revealing the importance of two prior aspects for openness to innovation: national culture and support to innovate. It also confirmed that support to innovate show notable effects improving the relationship between national culture and openness to innovation.

民族文化和创新支持对创新开放性的影响

快速的环境变化增加了创新对企业的重要性。从这个意义上说，民族创新文化是促进创新开放和改善一个国家企业创新过程的重要因素。本研究试图回答以下问题：对创新的支持是否会加剧民族文化对企业创新开放性的影响？其目的是验证民族文化与创新开放之间的关系是否通过对创新的支持来调节。本研究使用由2636家公司组成的全球创业监测（GEM）数据库，并应用结构方程建模（SEM）技术，在测试了创新开放的一些决定因素后做出了贡献，揭示了创新开放前两个方面的重要性：民族文化和对创新的支持。研究还证实，对创新的支持在改善民族文化与创新开放之间的关系方面发挥了显著作用。
