Self-service as an innovative service attracts many opinions on the needs, use, comfort and opportunities of the future. Scientists recognise the advantages of self-service over traditional service and are carrying out research on how to motivate consumers to switch to self-service. This paper analyses the application of motivation for the consumer self-service option. The objective is, based on a theoretical concept of self-service as an innovative service, to identify the reasons for the choice of self-service. The theoretical part of the paper provides an analysis of the essence of self-service as an innovative service. The analysis is based upon the results of empirical research in March 2012 in Lithuania (N=112). The paper identifies the factors that influence consumer motivation for the choice of self-service according to an online survey. It turned out that companies which offer self-service as an innovative service are modifying consumer behaviour by liberating consumers and motivating them to act.

Polish universities have three missions to fulfill: education, research activities, and building relationships with the environment. This paper addresses issues related to the implementation of the last two, with emphasis on the collaboration between universities and the environment. The scientific research market is comprised of universities (supply), business enterprises (demand) and the regulatory sector. Hence, the presented study first contains a brief description of the parties active in the research market, complemented by a practical look at the commercialization of research results. The authors conducted interviews with university faculty, who are professionally engaged in the commercialization of research. Internal procedures were analyzed, as well as strategies and regulations in force in this area. As a result of these interviews and analyses a catalog was generated of methods and strategies of commercialization of research and barriers that inhibit this process. The main conclusion of analyses is that Polish science and development policy is tasked with stimulation of activity of all the respective interest groups in the scientific research market, i.e. private entities in the financing of the R&D sector and the motivation of universities as well. Further improvements in legislative, educational, financial and fiscal solutions remain key challenges in Poland.

Innovation is considered to be the crucial element of economic growth. Yet the understanding of innovation is often limited to breakthrough achievements at the forefront of technology. Most innovation indicators are based on counting such achievements – mostly number of patents. Meanwhile most innovations is based on applying existing solutions in new conditions. Many innovations for various reasons cannot be covered by patents. More factors should be taken into consideration while assessing how innovative particular economy is.

A line of argument in the new growth economy discussions is whether specialization or diversification of economic activity on the geographical scale stimulates innovation. This study explores the relation between innovativeness and different types of geographical concentrations in the case of a developing country. The study addresses the discussion through statistical and econometric analyses using variables such as number of patents, new firm entry and exit at the regional level for the period 1995-2001. The results do not confirm that regions with higher levels of related variety or specialization are more innovative, but instead regions with higher levels of variety are found to be more innovative supporting the diversity thesis.

Schumpeter’s growth theory (based on innovations, entrepreneurs, long waves and “creative destruction”) seems to be most adequate to discuss principles of the Knowledge Based Economy. In the paper, the author discussed the assumptions of Schumpeter’s theory in three subsections: “Long waves” leading to the Knowledge Based Economy, Innovation as a core of Schumpeter’s economy, and Neo-Schumpeterian “growth” as a pillar of Knowledge Based Economy. The purpose of this paper is to show the Neo-Schumpeterian paradigms versus Knowledge Based Economy. Conclusions drawn from the study allow to state that definitions and concepts created by Schumpeter nearly over half of the century ago and Neo-Schumpeterians nowadays are perfectly in tune with the objectives of the functioning of Knowledge Based Economy in XXI century.

There is prevailing understanding that large companies are mostly inclined to using sophisticated innovation management processes as well as other management tools like project portfolio management while SMEs are believed to take advantage of more simple and often intuitive approaches to innovation processes management. Therefore methodologies of Monte Carlo simulation (MC), Stage Gate Control Process (SGCP) and Post- -implementation review (PIR) were reprocessed into more simplistic implementation models so as to prove that these methods can be operated even by routine staffs in Czech SMEs. All the test performed proved that the applications of aforementioned methods increased the effectiveness of innovation projects management and generated added value for shareholders.

Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu odległości i typu relacji z konkurentem, dostawcą i odbiorcą na rodzaj podejmowanej działalności innowacyjnej przedsiębiorstw wysokiej techniki w Polsce. W pracy założono, że bliskie kontakty z konkurentem, dostawcą i odbiorcą funkcjonującym w niewielkiej odległości (lokalnie lub w regionie) sprzyjają podejmowaniu działalności innowacyjnej. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała jednak, że współpraca z lokalnym lub regionalnym dostawcą i odbiorcą przyczynia się do zmniejszenia aktywności innowacyjnej, podczas gdy krajowy lub zagraniczny dostawca, odbiorca lub konkurent sprzyja jej podejmowaniu. Jednak największy pozytywny wpływ na stymulowanie aktywności innowacyjnej mają dostawcy, odbiorcy i konkurenci zagraniczni.

The aim of the present paper is to investigate channels of innovation and knowledge transfer in the development of the automotive and wood processing sectors in Slovakia and identify suitable policies to support these innovations. We follow the conceptual framework of innovation patterns and try to identify adequate support policies for different regional innovation patterns. We used interviews with several relevant actors in both sectors to identify their innovation activities and the role the external environment plays in them. We found that better functioning support tools in the region are aimed at key channels of knowledge and innovation transfer.We also support the need for a thematically=regionally focused innovation policy approach, as both sectors and regions require different kinds of innovation policies.
