Broadly defined innovation and creativity are, nowadays, the key factors of economic growth. They are the main driving force of development. Since there is a positive correlation between innovation and an economy's efficiency or its attractiveness for investors, implementation of novel and creative solutions can help achieve enhanced business results. Innovation and creativity are instrumental in creating a sustainable competitive advantage in the global market. The ability to create, implement and promote innovation depends largely on the available resources and on the state innovation policy. In the coming years, Poland is going to face the problem of low level of innovation, as well as the dearth of innovation factors. Among the weaknesses of the Polish innovation system are: inefficient utilisation of human capital, low expenditure on R&D activity, considerable dependence on budgetary financing, weak self-innovation ability of small and medium-sized enterprises, poor cooperation between businesses and research institutions, and the mismatch between research activities and the needs of the manufacturing and service sectors. The low level of innovation hampers economic growth and threatens sustainable development. In view of the above, there is a need to define the directions of innovation policy of the state and to improve the conditions for innovation in Poland.

This article assesses efforts to develop 'open innovation'. First, open innovation is put in the framework of knowledge society. It is shown that the term open innovation refers to such different cases that it is better to assess them separately. Chesbrough's 'open innovation', the 'lead user' conception, the idea of 'commons-based-peer production' and 'interactive value production' is shortly explored. 'Incertitude' is overviewed as basic background that urges societal praxis to turn to open innovation. At the end the article, referring to an expert material worked out for the EC DG Research, called with abbreviation TEKSS, turns interest to extending open innovation by integrating concerned groups as innovation partners as engagement, i.e. as partners through the whole innovation process.

The paper presents the results of empirical studies on cooperation of enterprises with other entities in the area of innovation activity that involved 156 enterprises from the region of northeastern Poland. It was studied whether enterprises cooperate in the area of innovation with three groups of partners, i.e. their suppliers and buyers, with other enterprises and with scientific institutions (institution carrying scientific research) as well as organizations dealing with transfer of innovations. Attempts were made to obtain an answer concerning the objective of cooperation and its subject. The cooperation was much more frequently undertaken by larger entities and it involved a wide range of partner institutions. Quite frequently other enterprises with the same or similar type of activity were partners. The cooperation occurred most frequently within the chain of supplier-processor-buyer, which is consistent with the global trends. The cooperation with suppliers most frequently focused on searching for new raw materials of better quality than those used so far while that with the buyers focused mainly on obtaining knowledge on expectations and preferences of clients. Unfortunately small and medium enterprises represent a low level of cooperation with innovation transfer institutions. As a consequence, activities supporting that transfer are necessary.

The article presents results of the study devoted to evolution of science and technology system in Czech Republic (CR) during the transformation period (from the victory of the velvet revolution in 1989 till 2004, when CR joined the EU). Peculiarities of transformations in CR at various transformation stages are shown on the basis of official statistics, expert opinion and survey data, and by methodology elaborated in the international project 'Restructuring and Reintegration of Science & Technology Systems in Economies in Transition'. Science & technology and innovation position of CR against other post-socialist countries of Central Europe and South European countries is shown by use of indicators included in the European Innovation Scoreboard. The conclusion is that CR which immediately took a 'rigid' course toward the reconstruction of national science & technology system (NSTS) by the criteria of Western European model, had a good chance to achieve the goal on the eve of joining the EU, as CR could quite successfully transform some of the key parameters of NSTS, especially those related with the research segment (although technological losses were also notable). The weakest side of science & technology transformation in CR in 90s proved to be setting up the horizontal links within the national innovation system. However, official statistics of CR (2000-2004) shows a positive dynamics of R&D parameters in the private sector, which is an indicator of rehabilitating trends in the innovation segment of this country on the eve of its joining the EU.

During the last three decades, it was possible to observe a significant growth of creation of strategic alliances between companies. Firms have been inclined to cooperate in order to survive or maintain their growth. Such kind of partnership directly or indirectly influenced the increase of competitiveness of the companies involved in such form of cooperation. However, during the last few years, this tendency has decreased. Therefore, few questions arise, namely: does the creation of alliances still have positive impact on competitiveness? How high is the risk to cooperate in such form. Does a strategic alliance have impact on creation of so-called Schumpeter’s radical technology change? This article aims to answer above mentioned questions and investigate the concept of strategic alliance and its influence on competitiveness.

Changes in approach of management of organizations to human resource management in generations Y and Z are also a very significant trend. An organization must use all possible stimulation tools to ensure knowledge continuity and to help with effective knowledge sharing between generations and support sustainable business. The goal of this article is to identify the benefits that an organization derives from ensuring knowledge continuity, and to identify the strategic documents of an organization that support it and support sustainable business. Data were obtained using quantitative research within selected Czech companies (n = 207) and qualitative re-search (8 interviews and one focus group). The results showed that 69.6% of the surveyed organizations ensure the knowledge continuity between generations of employees to some (varying) degree, which is influenced by the existence of a human resources management strategy (56.0%) and of an appropriately set organizational culture strategy (52.7%).

Modernization processes in the agro-food sector and rural areas in Poland, in compliance with challenges and versatile conditions, are a fundamental and, at the same time, very complex problem. A strong influence on the direction of activities launched to modernize agriculture, agricultural markets and rural areas is also exerted by processes connected with the globalization of economic systems, integration with European Communities, and macroeconomic solutions resulting from the decisions of the World Trade Organization. Taking into consideration all these conditions the stimulation of the modernization process in this sector becomes an important task for state policy. The experience to-date suggests that the present policy of financing research and development (R&D) is conditioned by many dependencies and has not produced, as for the time being, fully satisfactory results in the form of significant improvements or a faster rate of implementation of modernization processes in Poland's agricultural sector and rural areas.

Development of scientific and technical knowledge has become the prime growth factor behind modern economies. A big part in economic development is therefore played by universities, as institutions expanding and disseminating such knowledge. There is an extensive literature underlining the key role of local universities in establishing areas, such as Silicon Valley, Boston's 128th Street or the environs of Cambridge, UK, which remain the most important concentrations of peak technology. The paper's account of the wide international literature on this subject seeks to shed light on whether the economic effect of these university knowledge transfers can be replicated, or whether they were one-off occurrences. The nature of the spatial dissemination of knowledge has a decisive bearing on this. The literature can be divided into two schools, concentrating on location choice and direct knowledge-transfer researches respectively.
