My guess is that the drive to innovate (hence the culture) is more important than the capability to innovate.

As you are talking about SMEs it could be pointless to have innovation capabilities without an innovative company culture.

Hajar Alhosseiny

The most capable (and experienced) businesses are always more able to manage crises. Culture is nice but when you come up against overwhelming economic forces it contributes little. On innovation - investment in innovative activity declines when there is uncertainty at the macroeconomic level - this acts through the demand and supply side of capital markets (debt and equity).

Suleiman Abu

I personally view innovation culture to be more appropriate. I see innovation capability as means to an end, while innovation culture is an end in itself, being a lifestyle.
