Strong competition among entrepreneurs forces them to use innovation as the main source of competitive superiority. Dominating role of innovation – the factor of development - forces individual firms to search for the capability of widest use of innovation in their activity. Innovation is a result of specific process, which links up operations like presenting an idea of innovation and implementation of new solution. Proficient management of implementing the innovation process becomes important in creating innovativeness of the company. In order to be able to compete, firms must introduce new technologies, products, services and organizational systems. Nowadays innovation activity driving at bringing new products, processes, new organizational and marketing methods out is one of the most important conditions of firm market success. The paper discusses the concepts of innovativeness and analyses the theoretical conditions for its development, as well as the existing conditions for innovativeness of industrial enterprises in contemporary Poland. The objective of this paper is an analysis of statistical data (GUS) related to technology transfer of industrial entrepreneurs and its influence on innovativeness of firm. This analysis examines the efficiency of innovation activity in Polish industrial companies.

Science and technology parks (STP) are playing even more important role in the knowledge-based economy. The paper focuses on depicting the role of STP as platforms of cooperation enabling the process of technology transfer.The first section of the article concentrates on presenting universities and industry sector as a two key actors playing the pivotal role in the technology transfer. Different modes of their cooperation are shown and deeply described.Next section tackles with the analysis of the innovative environment. The science and technology parks are present in such a milieu and fulfil their role which was attributed to them. The significance of STP is increasing more and more. One of the consequences of that situation is the enhancement of economic conditions of enterprises located within the vicinity of science and technology parks. Thanks to that the local economy can boost.The article finalizes the analysis of the evolution of innovation perceptions (starting from linear innovation, through interactive innovations, up to open innovations) and the role the STP are playing within that process. In the last section the activity of the Krakow Technology Park and it’s impact on the regional economy is broadly presented.

This paper examines the role of open innovation inward technology transfer in order to strengthen the innovative position of Polish enterprises. The problem for Polish companies is their low interest in open sources of innovation which in a modern economy based on innovativeness, highly processed and technologically advanced products is a very important source of competitiveness superiority. On the other hand open innovation sources are less expensive and risky especially for the companies without any business experience and financial resources. The objective of this article is to shed a light on the role of the open innovation sources in technology transfer process within Polish enterprises. The work aims to provide a better characterization and understanding of open innovation as a part of technology transfer in the light of formal and informal flows. The objective of this paper is also to examine the statistical data collected from the Main Statistic Office in Poland relating to the technology transfer of entrepreneurs and its influence on the innovativeness of a company.

Artykuł analizuje determinanty międzynarodowych przepływów wiedzy za pośrednictwem importu dóbr inwestycyjnych i bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych oraz ich wpływ na wzrost gospodarczy na przykładzie Turcji. W tym celu zbadane zostały krótkoi długookresowe zależności przyczynowo-skutkowe pomiędzy transferami wiedzy i głównymi wskaźnikami makroekonomicznymi opisującymi rozwój gospodarki Turcji w okresie od 1 kw. 1992 r. do 3 kw. 2007 r. (tzn. w okresie 15 lat poprzedzających wybuch globalnego kryzysu fi nansowo-ekonomicznego). Wyniki testu kointegracji ARDL wskazują na istnienie długookresowej zależności pomiędzy zmiennymi modelu (import dóbr inwestycyjnych, zagraniczne inwestycje bezpośrednie, PKB, akumulacja kapitału trwałego, eksport i import) na poziomie istotności 1%. Artykuł bada także zależność między transferem wiedzy a wzrostem gospodarczym, wykorzystując do tego celu testy przyczynowości. Grangera z opóźnioną korektą błędu. Wyniki wskazują, że wystęouje tu długookresowa zależność przyczynowo-skutkowa w sensie Grangera pomiędzy zmiennymi niezależnymi modelu a importem dóbr inwestycyjnych, jednokierunkowa zależność krótkookresowa między importem dóbr inwestycyjnych i wielkością krajowych inwestycji oraz jednokierunkowa krótkookresowa zależność między eksportem i PKB.

This study has pointed out the long run determinants of the foreign knowledge and it spillovers effects, which come from capital goods imports. For this purpose, we explored both short-run and long-run causal relationships between foreign knowledge spillovers and its main determinants for Turkish economy over the 1992:Q1–2007:Q3 period. Results from ARDL bounds testing approach of cointegration indicate that there is an evidence of a long-run relation between the variables (capital goods imports, foreign direct investment, GDP, fixed capital formation, exports and imports) in the model at 1% significance level. This study also investigates the causality relationship between knowledge spillovers and economic growth by using Granger causality models augmented with a lagged error-correction term. According to the results from causality models, there are a long-run Granger causality running from the independent variables to capital goods imports variable, and an unidirectional short-run causal relationship from capital goods imports to domestic investments, and an unidirectional short-run causal relationship from exports to GDP.

В статье анализируются детерминанты международных трансфертов знаний, осуществляемых посредством импорта инвестиционных благ и прямых иностранных инвестиций, а также их влияние на экономический рост на примере Турции. С этой целью были исследованы кратко- и долгосрочные причинно-следственные зависимости между трансфертами знаний и главными макроэкономическими показателями, описывающими развитие экономики Турции в период с первого квартала 1992 г. до третьего квартала 2007 г. (т.е. в период 15 лет, предшествующих всплеску глобального финансово-экономического кризиса). Результаты теста коинтеграции ARDL указывают на существование долгосрочной зависимости между переменными модели (импорт инвестиционных благ, прямые иностранные инвестиции, ВВП, накопление постоянного капитала, экспорт и импорт) на уровне существенности в 1%. В статье исследуется зависимость между трансфертом знаний и экономическим ростом, с использованием для этой цели теста Гренджера на причинность с лагами корректировки ошибок. Результаты указывают на наличие долгосрочной причинно-следственной зависимости по Гренджеру между независимыми переменными модели и импортом инвестиционных благ, односторонней краткосрочной зависимости между импортом инвестиционных благ и величиной отечественных инвестиций, а также односторонней краткосрочной зависимости между экспортом и ВВП.

Around the turn of the millennium, Tunisia achieved sizeable rates of economic growth. Given the additional fact of an increasing financial deepening and an emerging industry, the country had been considered by many observers as one of the ‘African Lions.’ However, even before the Arab Spring movements started in Tunisia, the average growth rate was still far from the rate required for a fast catch-up with high income economies. This article aims at analysing the role which foreign direct investment (FDI) has played and can play in spurring economic growth in Tunisia. It analyses domestic saving and investment as well as presents patterns of FDI and present promotional policies. The author argues that foreign direct investment can help to overcome some constraints in capital accumulation and even contribute to ‘inclusive growth,’ i.e., a regionally, socially, and inter-generationally balanced growth pattern. There are, however, two preconditions: capital inflows must be directed by appropriate promotional policies and Tunisia must insulate itself from any negative repercussions from the present political unrest in the Middle East and North African region.

Research background: In existing studies two main channels of international technology spillovers are extensively discussed - trade and FDI. Nevertheless empirical studies give mixed results regards the nature and extent of trade and FDI spillovers. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to study import and foreign direct investments (FDI) as channels of international TFP spillovers. Methods: We employ dynamic spatial autoregression (SAR) methods. Our panel comprises data for 41 developed and upper mid-developed countries over the period 1995-2014. Findings & Value added: Our preliminary results show that (1) the trade and investment channels are both important for technology transfer, (2) the degree of their significance depends on the absorptive capacity such as good quality of the institutions.

Since socio-economic changes and the reforms introduced in the R&D sector opened new possibilities for the Polish research organizations, particularly with reference to research results commercialization, in-depth analyses of case studies and good practices in the area of technology transfer need to be regularly conducted, so that optimal solutions could be found. In the article the author analyses technology transfer support structures in selected European countries. The solutions that are commonly applied are then compared, in terms of the scope of their activity and the effectiveness of the support offered, with the Polish structures of the same type. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, recommendations for the Polish institutions supporting technology transfer are prepared.

One of the most important factors in ensuring Ukraine’s competitiveness in the global economy, on the one hand and facilitate its transition to the principles of real (not declarative) innovation and investment modernization of development - on the other, is the effective use of the potential of intellectual property in general, and faculty and staff of higher education institutions in particular. Innovative development model provides a systematic introduction of science into the real economy, and increased innovation organizations and businesses. It is obvious that the most important role in this process should play innovation universities. Given this important component of the competitiveness of higher education institutions are forward-looking and progressive development of innovations aimed at creating changes in education and the preservation of a positive result. In addition, schools that pay attention to innovation, able to adapt more quickly to changes in the environment that it creates additional competitive advantages.

The authors analyze the ongoing transfer of technology and knowledge to enterprises in Poland’s eastern Lublin province. They are particularly interested in the conditions and scope of the process. For the needs of the study, they have conducted a survey on a sample of 443 firms. In the survey, data were obtained from companies via the internet. To analyze the data, different statistical methods were used, including statistical inference procedures. The analysis showed that the surveyed companies most often used free and generally accessible sources of technology transfer, such as publications, the internet, and free conferences. Only businesses from industry derived substantial benefits from a transfer of knowledge and innovation from universities while working to implement ideas resulting from their own research and development. Most of the surveyed companies declared their willingness to work with university-level schools. The study confirmed that cooperation with universities and R&D centers encourages firms to look for the most advanced knowledge and technology. Other factors include participation in business clusters, and cooperation with innovation and technology transfer centers in implementing marketing and organizational innovations. The research done by Sagan, Zalewa, Gorbaniuk and Jóźwik complements the existing body of knowledge on the transfer of knowledge and technology to less well-developed regions, the authors say. It could thus help various Polish regions create new development strategies and use European Union funds under the bloc’s financial perspective for 2014-2020.

Nowadays, we can distinguish clear differences in the level of the economic development of a country. The success or the backwardness of a certain country can be determined by both historical background, geographical location and access to valuable resources. The bottom line is for companies to try to continually and flexibly adapt to the rapidly changing environment. Observations show that the stable development of the economy can be guaranteed only by building a knowledge-based economy. In Poland, when comparing to the highly developed countries of the European Union, a distinct technological gap is exhibited. Therefore, one of the main priorities of the Polish economy should be to foster international technology transfer. Following that, we should consider which factors of the technology transfer are the most important for the development of Polish enterprises.

W dzisiejszych czasach zaobserwować można wyraźne różnice w poziomie rozwoju gospodarczego poszczególnych krajów. O sukcesie bądź zacofaniu danego kraju decydować mogą zarówno uwarunkowania historyczne, położenie geograficzne, jak i dostęp do cennych surowców. Najważniejsze jest aby przedsiębiorstwa próbowały nieustannie i elastycznie dostosowywać się do dynamicznie zmieniającego się otoczenia. Z obserwacji wynika, iż stabilny rozwój gospodarki może zostać zagwarantowany jedynie przez budowę gospodarki opartej na wiedzy. W Polsce zauważalna jest wyraźna luka technologiczna w stosunku do wysokorozwiniętych krajów Unii Europejskiej. Jednym z głównych priorytetów polskiej gospodarki powinno być zatem stymulowanie międzynarodowego transferu technologii. Z tego względu należy zastanowić się, które uwarunkowania transferu technologii są najważniejsze dla rozwoju polskich przedsiębiorstw.

In developed countries, the academic entrepreneurship makes up a very important element of academic environment activities. For some time, the increase in the role of technology transfer and knowledge commercialisation has been also promoted in Poland. Strong connections between the scholarship and the economy (in the future, within the university of the third generation) have a chance to build an economy based on knowledge in our country. The flow of knowledge and the introduction of new solutions (results of scholarly research) in enterprises take place through the intermediary of various methods of transfer and commercialisation paths. Independent of the manner, each fulfils an important role in the public life and economy. This is confirmed by the experience of the States that are recognised as innovation leaders, and presented in the paper as examples of Polish scholars’ academic entrepreneurship.

Chińskie władze od kilku lat starają się uniezależnić gospodarkę od ciężkiego przemysłu niskiej jakości i przejść na wzrost napędzany nowoczesnymi technologiami. Zanim jednak do tego doszło, Chiny przez lata korzystały z technologii importowanych. W artykule poruszono dwie kwestie: wpływ korporacji transnarodowych na rozwój technologiczny gospodarki chińskiej oraz reformy systemu instytucji i oddziaływanie na tempo napływu i efektywność technologii transferowanych do Chin.

Chinese authorities are putting many efforts to make Chinese economy independent of the high labor intensity and low quality products and move to growth driven by high technologies. However before this happened, China had been using imported technologies for years. The article discusses two topics important for this change to be possible: the influence of international corporations on the technological development of the Chinese economy and the reforms of the institutional system with its impact on technology inflow transferred to China.

W artykule zaprezentowano koncepcję transferu technologii powstałej w środowisku akademickim do otoczenia biznesowego. Oprócz przedstawienia modelu teoretycznego, dyskusji poddano możliwość jego zastosowania w praktyce przez fundację Kraków Miastem Startupów w ramach realizowanego przez Ministerstwo Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego programu "Dialog". Główne determinanty i bariery procesu komercjalizacji w Polsce zostały zidentyfikowane na podstawie przeglądu literatury. Do ich uporządkowania i dalszej analizy wykorzystano analizę SWOT. Przyjęto założenie, iż opracowany model będzie postrzegany przez inwestorów, jako potencjalnie dochodowe przedsięwzięcie, stąd jako ramę teoretyczną wykorzystano koncepcję Business Model Canvas, która jest powszechnie stosowanym w środowisku biznesowym narzędziem do oceny potencjału rynkowego innowacyjnych przedsięwzięć.

This article presents the original concept of transferring technology created in academic environment to business. Article discuss practical aspects of presented theoretical model, as it will be implemented in practice by ‘Kraków Miastem Startupów’ foundation and submitted to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for ‘Dialogue’ program. Literature overview has been used to identify main determinants and hindering factors of commercialization process in Poland. SWOT analysis was employed to organize and present elements of environment that influences technology transfer process. A general assumption has been made, that designed model should, at least have a potential of becoming a profitable venture and should be recognize as such by private investors. Therefore Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas, a tool commonly used for measuring value of innovative ventures, was adopted as a basic framework for the model.

The fast development of ICTs pose new challenges to the European Union and its Member States. Every EU country has its own policies regarding technology transfer, ownership of state e-services, and the possibilities how the state-owned or licensed e-service could be exported. Taking into account the free movement of goods, the EU has created a platform to cooperate and export IT solutions. However, the lack of preparedness of infrastructures, legislation and stakeholders for cross-border exchanges poses a threat to IT transfer and should be taken into consideration in the EU as well. In the coming decades the number of outsourced ICT solutions, strategically important ICT solutions, public services and critically important information exchange platforms developed on behalf of the states, will grow exponentially. Still, digital development is uneven across the EU, they grow at different speeds and the performance is quite splintered. There are legal provisions which are outdated and therefore impede technological cooperation and export of IT solutions. A Member State may restrict the ICT licensing based on national security and policy reasons and the ownership of intellectual property might pose a threat to technology transfer or further development of the IT solution. There are examples of strategically important export of ICT solutions, the experience at which can be expanded to cover other EU Member States. Strong collaboration would enable mutual learning from past experiences along with the opportunities for better use of technology. Parallels can be drawn with military technology transfers, as the policies and legal framework was first developed and mostly used with them. This introduces a question of what are the conditions for exporting strategically important ICT solutions from one Member State to another, given that there is no common legal framework developed yet, and who should decide whether to transfer or not?

The article concerns the transfer of technology to the least developed countries. In the theoretical part, the variants of technological dependency of the given country from abroad are analysed. There are also examined the possibilities of improving the technological level of a given country with the aid of technology import. At the beginning, the main channel of technology transfer must be import of machinery and equipment. To make this channel work effectively many conditions must be fulfiled and this appears to be difficult in case of LDC. The Foreign Direct Investments can contribute positively to increase the efficiency of this technology diffusion channel. In the empirical part of the article the volume and channels of technology transfer to the LDC are analysed. The statistical data corroborate the predominant role of machinery and equipment and marginal role of licences. The import of machinery and equipment, however, does not contribute sufficiently do technological upgrading of the LDC. The foreign investors and the LDC themselves are guilty for this.

The article concerns early medieval egg-shaped rattles from the area of Silesia. First of all, the issue of how they were made and glazed is studied. The issues of the origin of these products and their role in the culture of ancient societies, as problems repeatedly raised by other researchers, is treated marginally. Macro- and microscopic observations, experimental studies, as well as the results of analyses of the chemical composition of glazes and petrographic tests of ceramic bodies were used to study the technology of making eggs-shaped -rattles. On their basis, the probable process of their formation and glazing was reconstructed. While the making of the ceramic base did not require extraordinary skills, the glazing and decoration of the rattles took place in several stages, requiring knowledge of advanced pottery techniques. For their decoration, a specific category of glaze was used, namely high-lead non alkali glass.

Działalność w zakresie innowacji jest w ostatnim czasie głównym wyznacznikiem pozycji ryn- kowej przedsiębiorstw. Jednym z podstawowych wyzwań, przed którymi stoją menedżerowie, jest umiejętność radzenia sobie z barierami napotykanymi przy ich wdrażaniu. Skuteczne ich przezwyciężenie może wpłynąć na sukces firmy, a w skali makro na rozwój całej gospo- darki. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano klasyfikację najczęściej pojawiających się barier w działalności innowacyjnej przedsiębiorstw oraz w procesie transferu techniki. Przedstawiono w nim podstawowe przeszkody o charakterze finansowym, problemy wynikające ze współpracy pomiędzy sektorem nauki i biznesu, a także prawne aspekty negatywnie wpływające na pracę innowatorów. Artykuł zawiera również przegląd propozycji dotyczących przeciwdziałania barierom rekomendowanych przez krajowych ekspertów i przedsiębiorców.
