Innowacje i procesy innowacyjne skupiają obecnie uwagę badaczy. Lite¬ratura dostarcza wyjaśnień dla siły związków pomiędzy zmiennymi, jednak badania ilościowe nie wskazują jednoznacznie na przyczyny podejmowanych decyzji w procesie innowacyjnym. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja procesów innowacyjnych w czterech wybranych organizacjach, ukierunkowana na identyfikację prawidłowości pro¬cesów innowacyjnych w MŚP. Wykorzystując metodę studium przypadku wykazano, że w badanych organizacjach procesy innowacyjne mają niewiele wspólnych cech, a zaliczyć do nich należy przede wszystkim: wykorzystanie ogólnodostępnych informacji, wprowa¬dzanie rozwiązań nastawionych na optymalizację procesów wewnętrznych i finansowa¬nie procesów przede wszystkim środkami własnymi.

Nowadays innovation and innovation processes focus significant research attention. Literature provides empirical support for relationships between contingencies, innovations and its outcomes, however, quantitative researches do not reveal the reasons and characteristics of innovation processes. The main aim of the paper is the presenta¬tion of innovation processes in four, chosen organizations, which is directed towards identification of innovation process characteristics in SMEs. Using case study methodo¬logy we conclude that in chosen organizations innovation processes has few common characteristics. In particular, organizations choose general, commonly accessible infor-mation for innovation purposes, they introduce new solutions to optimize internal pro¬cesses and finance their innovative activity with own resources.
