Focusing on a relatively neglected, but in times of globalization even more important aspect, the infuence of cultural characteristics on innovativeness, we apply diferent econometric models to test for links between cultural tightness and looseness on the one hand, and national innovativeness on the other hand. We fnd that cultural tightness—in the sense of homogenous and intolerant societies—has a negative link to national innovativeness, while cultural looseness—in the sense of tolerant and diverse societies—displays a positive link to national innovativeness.}, subject = {Innovation}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchomakerLobnigDeckert2022, author = {Schomaker, Rahel M. and Lobnig, Christina A. and Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Soziale Innovation in und durch die {\"o}ffentliche Verwaltung - theoretische {\"U}berlegungen und empirische Ergebnisse f{\"u}r {\"O}sterreich}, series = {Soziale Innovation im Kontext: Beitr{\"a}ge zur Konturierung eines unscharfen Konzepts}, booktitle = {Soziale Innovation im Kontext: Beitr{\"a}ge zur Konturierung eines unscharfen Konzepts}, editor = {Sch{\"u}ll, Elmar and Berner, Heiko and Kolbinger, Martin Lu and Pausch, Markus}, publisher = {Springer Fachmedien}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-37221-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-37221-7_9}, publisher = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {205 -- 225}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{DeckertSchomaker2019, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Schomaker, Rahel M.}, title = {Kultur und Innovation - Wie sich kulturelle Faktoren auf die nationale Innovationsf{\"a}higkeit auswirken}, series = {Der Betriebswirt}, volume = {60}, journal = {Der Betriebswirt}, number = {2}, publisher = {Duncker \& Humblot}, issn = {2628-7846}, doi = {10.3790/dbw.60.2.18}, pages = {18 -- 23}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @techreport{DeckertSchomakerKnappitsch2020, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Schomaker, Rahel M. and Knappitsch, Eithne}, title = {Culture and Entrepreneurship: The Political, Social and Individual Influences on Opportunity Entrepreneurs}, publisher = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {2627-8375}, doi = {10.20385/2627-8375_3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-23837}, pages = {33}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The impact of culture on entrepreneurship is a widely accepted phenomenon. Cultural factors influence entrepreneurship via different mechanisms on the macro-, meso-, and micro-level of a country. Building on existing research, we draw a clear link between national cultural dimensions and entrepreneurship, using a new model that arranges different cultural dimensions in groups based on their particular function: political, social, or individual (PSI-model) and that distinguishes between values and practices where relevant. The PSI-model provides a coherent theoretical framework on which different cultural dimensions and their impact on entrepreneurship can be analysed, allowing for particular attention to be drawn to social practices and social values. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between culture and entrepreneurship, providing empirical evidence of how specific cultural dimensions influence entrepreneurship. The findings are of relevance from a policy perspective and can be used to generate practical recommendations for national institutions interested in promoting entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities. The findings are also transferable to other fields related to national cultural dimensions such as level of innovation, investment, budgeting etc.}, language = {en} } @article{DeckertSchomaker2019, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Schomaker, Rahel M.}, title = {Cultural Impacts on National Innovativeness: Not Every Cultural Dimension Is Equal}, series = {Cross-Cultural Research}, volume = {53}, journal = {Cross-Cultural Research}, number = {2}, publisher = {sage journals}, doi = {10.1177/1069397118799700}, pages = {186 -- 214}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{DeckertSchomakerAydogan2025, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Schomaker, Rahel M. and Aydogan, Manolya}, title = {Leistung, Ansehen und Muße: Der Einfluss der Leistungsorientierung auf die nationale Innovationf{\"a}higkeit}, series = {Ideen- und Innovationsmanagement}, journal = {Ideen- und Innovationsmanagement}, number = {1}, publisher = {Erich Schmidt Verlag}, issn = {2198-3143}, doi = {10.37307/j.2198-3151.2025.01.03}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Die Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit einer Gesellschaft spielt eine entscheidende Rolle f{\"u}r ihre Wachstumsm{\"o}glichkeiten.

While classical approaches primarily emphasize technological and economic aspects, cultural and moral influences are increasingly coming into focus in research. In particular, the treatment of out-groups and the intensity of in-group preferences play a crucial role, as expressed in the societal contrast between social cohesion and individual freedom. A central aspect of this debate is the moral dimension, particularly the tension between universalism, relativism, and particularism. This study examines the impact of universalism on a country's innovativeness by situating the concept within cultural theory and analyzing it empirically. The findings provide new insights into the relationship between cultural values and innovation potential with regard to moral capital in a society.}, language = {en} }
