One Of The Basics Of A Good System Of Innovation Is Diversity. In Some Ways, The Stronger The Culture (national, Institutional, Generational, Or Other), The Less Likely It Is To Harbor Innovative Thinking. Common And Deep-seated Beliefs, Widespread Norms, And Behavior And Performance Standards Are Enemies Of New Ideas.

It Can Be Simply A Matter Of Peoples Walking Around In Tacit Agreement And Full Comfort With The Status Quo.
