We defined as bureaucratic the organisations establishingstandards.

We also pointed out thatthe government is aware of the importance of innovativeness in thehotel industry and tourism, whence a number of measures are introduced.In the empirical part, using statistical methods, such as the descriptiveanalysis and the Bonferroni test, we established that thereare no statistically significant differences between bureaucratic and non-bureaucratic organisations with regard to innovativeness.
