Abstract

The present chapter is devoted to the relationship among R&D expenditures, entrepreneurial cultural traits and the lack of innovative efforts in the Brazilian economic reality. From two different research sources – international data on the impact of R&D on economic development in Brazil and selected countries and an opinion survey of 450 Brazilian businessmen – we will show that the absence of an innovative driver among Brazilian entrepreneurs is a major reason why Brazilian R&D efforts do not lead to significant innovations.
