In recent years it has noticed that innovation and innovativeness have become the basis for the success of not only individual business entities but entire regions and economies. What is more, there have been opinions in the literature that individual innovations are no longer a guarantee of survival for an organization, but such a guarantee is rather the capacity for continuous innovation. Therefore the organization’s ability to transform resources in favour of the organization – the innovation capability – is decisive, while the ability to use resources appropriately, including innovation capabilities, is referred to as innovation maturity. In this article the author decided to introduce the essence of innovation maturity models as a tool for measuring innovation maturity. These models are a tool for assessing the level of innovation maturity of an organization. It is worth adding that maturity models originate from the Capability Maturity Model developed by the Software Engineering Institute.

The term ‘innovation capability’ has been used recurrently in the innovation literature, but there is still considerable divergence about its meaning and implication to organizations. A consensus exists that, to innovate, organizations must possess innovation capability, and that the ownership of this feature is not a binary process, but rather an evolutionary level process. This evolutionary logic is analogous to the basic structure of organizational maturity models. However, the literature integrating innovation capability into a maturity perspective is still limited. Considering these premises, from a broad bibliographical research, this article presents a framework of reference to represent the entire theoretical domain of innovation capability. Its purpose is to classify the main types of models about this construct available in the reference literature. It is organized at increasing levels of complexity, so that each level creates the conceptual conditions for the construction of more comprehensive models. Similar to the main use cases for maturity models, there are three basic levels for the framework: descriptive; comparative; and, finally, prescriptive models of innovation capability. Considering this cumulative framework, the authors argue that, to be fully understood, innovation capability should be studied using the perspective of maturity models.

Innowacyjność jest kluczowym czynnikiem służącym podnoszeniu konkurencyjności małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, zgodnie z założeniami gospodarki opartej na wiedzy (GOW), według których UE ma stać się bardziej konkurencyjnym obszarem na świecie (poprzez podnoszenie swojej innowacyjności), zdolnym do rywalizowania z potęgami azjatyckimi oraz USA. Należy przyjąć, że stopień nowości przedsiębiorstw uzależniony jest od wielu czynników, wśród których jednym z ważniejszych jest zdolność do innowacji. W odniesieniu do przedsiębiorstw mniejszej skali (MSP) kształtowanie zdolności jest niezwykle istotne z punktu widzenia ich rozwoju innowacyjnego. Jednakże – jak pokazują badania – główne działania tych przedsiębiorstw koncentrują się bardziej na poprawie zewnętrznych zdolności (absorpcyjnych i asymilacyjnych), niż wewnętrznych (w zakresie własnego potencjału), czego efektem jest brak możliwości samodzielnego rozwoju tych przedsiębiorstw. Celem tego krótkiego opracowania jest dokonanie analizy zdolności do innowacji wśród MSP w Polsce, z uwzględnieniem poziomu ich zróżnicowania w zależności od wielkości i wieku (stażu rynkowego) oraz ich poziomu innowacyjności. Opracowanie to weryfikuje znaczenie zdolności innowacyjnych sektora MSP w procesie podnoszenia jego konkurencyjności rynkowej.

Innovation is a key factor for improving of the competitiveness among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) according to the knowledge-based economy (KBE), in which the EU has become more competitive region in the world (by raising their innovation). The novelty level ofSME depends on many factors – the most important is innovative capability to innovate. Regarding to smaller-scale enterprises (SMEs) creating of its capability is extremely important from the point of view of their innovative development. However, research shows that the main activities of these companies are focused on improving the external capability (absorption and assimilation) than internal (in terms of their potential), so there is no possibility of independent development of these enterprises in the long term. The purpose of this short paper is to analyze the capacity for innovation among SMEs in Poland, taking into account their level of differentiation in depending on the size and age and their level of innovativeness. This study verifies the importance of the innovation capacity of SMEs in the process of raising its market competitiveness.
