Firms in the coffee sector across countries: Culture and Performance

This dataset supports the central argument that national culture significantly influences the performance of coffee firms, given that coffee entrepreneurship constitutes an innovation-driven activity where cultural factors play a critical role. Specifically, the dataset highlights how cultural dimensions shape entrepreneurial outcomes in the coffee sector, with a focus on innovation dynamics. Importantly, it addresses a gap in the literature by incorporating five key national cultural dimensions, including the often-overlooked interaction effects with uncertainty avoidance (UA). By capturing these intercultural influences, the dataset offers a more nuanced understanding of how culture conditions entrepreneurial success in global coffee markets.

本数据集支持如下核心论点：民族文化对咖啡企业的经营绩效具有显著影响——咖啡创业属于创新驱动型活动，文化因素在此类活动中发挥着关键性作用。具体而言，本数据集着重阐释了文化维度如何塑造咖啡行业的创业成果，研究重点聚焦于创新动态机制。尤为重要的是，本数据集纳入了五大核心民族文化维度，其中包含常被忽视的不确定性规避（Uncertainty Avoidance, UA）交互效应，弥补了现有文献的研究空白。通过捕捉这些跨文化影响因素，本数据集能够更为细致地阐释在全球咖啡市场中，文化如何制约创业活动的成功。
