| Results of a cross-cultural empirical investigation to assess the relationship between organizational climate for intrapreneurship and national culture values are presented. It was expected that national culture values would correlate with organizational practices and rewards that encourage an internal entrepreneurial spirit. The premise is that culture influences individuals' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. In addition, the extent to which countries and geo-social regions differed on elements of the climate for intrapreneurship variables was examined. This study was conducted in a multi-national organization with subsidiaries in 20 countries, of which 17 were included in this study. Significant correlations were found between national culture values and organizational climate for corporate entrepreneurship at the culture level of analysis. Also, there were significant differences between countries and geo-social regions on mean scores of the study variables constituting the climate for intrapreneurship. These findings have significant implications for organizational managers and researchers in corporate entrepreneurship. |
