This briefing identifies four potentially important drivers of radical innovation: the availability of capital, the availability of skilled labour, culture, and government policy and arguing that culture - corporate culture in particular - is the key differentiator with regards to a firm's ability to innovate radically.

Moreover, multilateral trade agreements and pan-national institutions such as the World Trade Organisation have helped to promote increased convergence in government policies across nations with respect to intellectual property protection, government procurement, and collaboration between universities and industry.
