Abstract

This study seeks to identify characteristics, values and behaviour of organisational culture which either enhance or discourage innovation. The results arise from an empirical pilot study of qualitative nature over three companies. Our empirical results reinforce the belief that the key feature of organisational culture which allows for innovation is the role and attitude displayed by senior managers, and their readiness to monitor firm´s progress in innovation-led activities. A major finding from this study states that a significant degree of bureaucracy coupled with a rigid structure does not necessarily inhibit innovation.
