Abstract: This article takes part in research on the cultural determinants of the economic performances of a nation. It studies the linkage between the culture and the performances by the values and not by the institutions. It shows that the works of economic and political sciences about the relation between the culture and the economic development is not very conclusive. No culture is hostile with the development in these meaning. Sciences of management bring, nevertheless, at this result a nuance. They show that the culture has not an effect on economic performances of a nation, but on its model of development. The collective values act on the entrepreneurial models of development. The collective values of the Southeast Asia, for example, support the imitation. Whereas the Western values lead rather to the innovation.
