Today, organizations see innovation as the main factor in gaining and
sustaining competitive advantage. In addition, another important issue is
to make innovation sustainable. The literature on innovation includes a lot
of research, and every research opens up new research area. In order to
ensure sustainable innovation, it is necessary to integrate an appropriate
innovation system and culture into the organization. This study focuses on
these two factors in particular. The interaction between the dimensions of
the innovation system and the culture of the organization is explained by
examining sample companies from both developed and developing
countries. Exemplary companies were chosen from technology companies,
where innovation is at the forefront. The innovation systems of the
companies were measured on the basis of their dimensions and the types
of corporate cultures were measured in the same way and meaningful
relationships were explained by applying the multivariate regression
model.
