The influence of culture on innovation in multinational organisations: Evidence from the oil and gas industry
Description
Culture is believed to play an important role in innovation processes and the innovativeness of organisations. In order to quantitatively measure this influence, in this thesis the relationships between the dimensions of Hofstede's cultural model and the innovativeness of business units located around the world in the oil and gas industry are explored. Underpinning this study is a re-examination of data from a survey conducted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers in 2012 to measure the innovation-related behaviors of business units around the world. This study also examines the influence of cultural distance between the country of the responding organisation's headquarters and the country of the responding business unit, and assesses how this distance affects innovative output. The results show several ways in which geographic and cultural differences impact how innovation happens within and between different parts of the world.
