Technological implementation comparision between Lithuania and Spain

When a Spaniard visits Lithuania, he has a strange feeling: when he looks at the details of the country, it seems that he is not as far from Spain as he was led to believe in his country. While in some respects the Baltic country still lags behind Spain, there are certain Lithuanian sectors where innovation seems to have arrived in more depth. For instance, control of recycling bottles or car-sharing services, at a glance, seem to be one step ahead of the Mediterranean country. That is why in this thesis will be investigated if technological innovation is better in Spain than in Lithuania as in the beginning would be expected, and to do so will resort to global innovation indexes. But since there is a suspicion that these indexes may not reflect perfectly the level of innovation, the final consumer will be asked about their perception of innovation in this two countries. In this way, a second objective will be to evaluate the precision of the innovation indices The thesis also deepens in one of the sectors in which Lithuania seems to be better situated than Spain: car-sharing, with companies like Uber or Citybee. The car-sharing is used as a tool in the questions to the users already commented, as well as to deny or not a possible difference of mentality between the two countries.
