Abstract: Abstract This chapter studies the effect of entrepreneurial culture, management, and bureaucracy on innovation, with management and bureaucracy being set as intermediate variables. Of particular interest is the indirect effect of entrepreneurial culture on innovation, through bureaucracy and management. This chapter regards the case of Greece in the field of dairy industry. To carry out the analysis, a research was conducted with the use of an e-questionnaire. The use of latent variable constructs led to apply the SmartPLS software to process the data. The results showed that all the studied effects of the model were statistically significant, qualifying intermediate variables as partial mediators, confirming all research hypotheses. The significance of the study for entrepreneurs lies in the fact that entrepreneurship can succeed in Greece; however for this to happen, entrepreneurs should cultivate their entrepreneurial culture which leads to innovation. This model could be applied to another field of the economy of Greece or another country would be of interest, so that the necessary comparisons of results will be made. As far as the state is concerned, the results of the survey about bureaucracy show that additional actions need to be taken for the improvement in the external business environment in Greece.
