After studying Britain for some years, a former director of the London School of Economics, Ralf Dahrendorf, concluded that “economic performance and cultural values are linked,” and that “an effective economic strategy for Britain will probably have to begin in the culture sphere”23.

Some have been driven through radical restructuring of key sectors as a result of external pressures, and others through major government-driven reforms and specific initiatives.
Nevertheless, there may be interesting lessons from the approach to enterprise in other countries. Research by Enterprise Insight looked at New Zealand, Canada and the Republic of Ireland. New World countries like New Zealand and Canada can be seen to have developed a pragmatic politics, where ‘what mattered was what worked, what would ensure survival, independence and economic growth’. This is in contrast to the UK, which has built up rule-based and risk-averse politics. Put in simpler terms, one of the defining national characteristics of Canada and New Zealand is a ‘go get em’ attitude. Against this, the UK deduces, thinks and measures.
