While I'm still trying to get my head around things in Germany, I'd argue that those are symptoms of deeper cultural issues related to deeply-embedded conversatism and over-respect for hierarchy (e.g. status, age, seniority) in leadership, risk-taking, and decision-making throughout the private and public sectors.

You can call them cultural issues but that's just.. the German culture. I thought it was slow and needlessly tiring when I first moved here, but over time I've learned to appreciate the stability it brings. There is a method to the (lack of?) madness, although it may not be apparent at first.
