Exploring the effect of national cultural disposition on drone technology adoption and development

Abstract

The 21st century has witnessed a paradigm shift of drone technology from military operations to civil operations sparking off a growing interest in all the three main sectors of the economy; primary sector, secondary sector and service or tertiary sector. Culture is known to influence the diffusion and adoption of certain technologies in any given nation. As such, this study uses a binomial logistic regression technique on Hofstede's cultural dimensions and drone regulation existence in a selected number of countries to statistically assess whether national culture influences the adoption of drone regulations.
