This article presents an analysis of the determinants of a firm’s innovativeness deriving from its internal potential and characteristics. The analysis is based on research carried out on 1355 firms that applied for public subsidies from the Innovative Economy Operational Program in 2014. The methods applied are logit regression, comparative analysis and literature review. The analysis is structured according to Bielski’s model of an organization indicating the following subsystems: management, goals and values, people, technology and structure. This analysis shows that firms’ innovativeness depends mainly on the following factors: their level of cooperation with academia, longer presence on the market, being highly equipped with modern technologies, being a medium-sized or large firm, as well as being an industrial rather than a service firm. All of the organizational subsystems play a role in determining innovativeness, but the most important ones are the technical subsystem, psycho-social subsystem and the subsystem of structure.

Research background: Discussions on the state of the economy in times of crisis focus not only on maintaining or improving innovativeness, but also on the emergence of new dimensions of this phenomenon and changing the significance of individual determinants of innovativeness. Innovativeness is a complex, multidimensional and difficult to measure phenomenon, which implies the need to select various indicators and methods for its assessment. Synthetic measures of innovativeness are widely used in comparative analyses, in particular presenting results in international or interregional cross-sections. The degree of innovativeness should also be assessed at different levels of economic aggregation. The lower the level of aggregation, the easier it becomes to capture the specific determinants of the increase in innovativeness of a given area. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to attempt to measure the relationship between expenditures and results of innovative activities for NUTS-2 regions of the Visegrad Group countries. Three variables were adopted to describe the effects of innovative activity: PCT patent applications per billion GDP (in PPS), trademark applications per billion GDP (in PPS) and public-private co-publications per million of population. Methods: The study covered 37 NUTS-2 regions of the Visegrad Group countries in the years 2014?2021. From the point of view of the purpose of the paper and the need to search for the relationship between expenditures on innovative activity and the results of this activity, it is worth emphasizing that the use of static and dynamic econometric models proved to be a substantively correct solution leading to the formulation of clear conclusions. Findings & value added: The conducted research confirmed that business R&D expenditure on GDP has a positive effect on inventions expressed by patents and trademarks, especially in the long run. In addition, the literature review and empirical analyses indicate that the main determinants of innovativeness (both before and during the pandemic) are the expenditures of economic entities on R&D, competences expressed by the level of education or participation in tertiary education, as well as the number of ICT specialists and the percentage of people employed in science and technology. Despite the deterioration of many macroeconomic indicators in the countries of the Visegrad Group, the expenditures of the business sector on R&D in most regions did not decrease between 2019 and 2021. The added value of the paper is the presented research procedure, which can be used in analyses of innovativeness also for other groups of regions.

The issue of innovation is crucial to the companies. Activities in this field can lead to competitive advantage, thus boosting the competitiveness of the company in the market and affect its market position. Enterprise innovativeness can be assesed by analyzing investment in innovation, data from the sales of new or modernized products. It is interesting, however, what determines and influences enterprises to innovate? The article reviews the literature on the determinants of innovativeness of enterprises including microenterprises.
PL
Problematyka innowacyjności jest niezwykle istotna z punktu widzenia przedsiębiorstw. Działania w tym zakresie mogą doprowadzić do uzyskania przewagi konkurencyjnej, a tym samym do zwiększenia konkurencyjności podmiotu na rynku, i wpłynąć na jego pozycję rynkową. Innowacyjność przedsiębiorstwa można oceniać, analizując m.in. nakłady na innowacje, dane ze sprzedaży wyrobów nowych lub zmodernizowanych. Interesujące jest natomiast zbadanie, co determinuje i wpływa na innowacyjność przedsiębiorstw. W artykule dokonano przeglądu literatury na temat uwarunkowań innowacyjności przedsiębiorstw z uwzględnieniem mikroprzedsiębiorstw.

According to The Global Competitiveness Report innovations are a necessity for the most advanced economies in the world, if they want to sustain high wages and a high standard of living. This is why determinants of a country’s innovativeness are a very important economic issue. The purpose of this original research paper is to examine what types of national culture are conducive for innovations. Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were calculated between two measures of innovativeness and different culture dimensions. The results show that innovations are created statistically more often in national cultures characterized as: low power distance, high individualism, long-term orientation (G. Hofstede culture dimensions); monochronic, low-context (E. T. Hall culture dimensions) and with internal control (F. Trompenaars and Ch. Hampden-Turner culture dimension).

Zgodnie z publikacją The Global Competitiveness Report generowanie innowacji jest koniecznością dla najwyżej rozwiniętych gospodarek na świecie, jeśli chcą utrzymać wysokie płace i standard życia swoich mieszkańców. Z tego powodu determinanty innowacyjności gospodarki są bardzo istotnym zagadnieniem w nauce i praktyce ekonomii. Celem artykułu było sprawdzenie, jakie wartości w wymiarach kultury poszczególnych krajów sprzyjają innowacyjności. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone przez obliczenie współczynników korelacji Pearsona oraz rang Spearmana między miarami innowacyjności gospodarek a wartościami w poszczególnych wymiarach kultury. Otrzymane rezultaty wskazują, że innowacje statystycznie częściej pojawiają się w społeczeństwach cechujących się niskim dystansem władzy, wysokim indywidualizmem i orientacją długoterminową (wymiary kultury zaproponowane przez G. Hofstede), monochronicznością i niskim znaczeniem kontekstu w komunikacji (typologia E.T. Halla) oraz wewnątrzsterownością (typologia F. Trompenaarsa i Ch. Hampden-Turnera).

В соответствии с публикацией The Global Competitiveness Report генерирование инноваций – необходимость для наиболее высокоразвитых экономик в мире, если они хотят удержать высокую зарплату и стандарт жизни населе- ния. По этому поводу детерминанты инновационности экономики – весьмасущественный вопрос в науке и практике экономии. Цель статьи – проверить, какие ценности в измерениях культуры отдельных стран способствуют ин- новационности. Изучение провели, рассчитывая коэффициенты корреляции Пирсона и ранговой корреляции Спирмена между мерами инновационности экономик и ценностями в отдельных измерениях культуры. Полученные результаты указывают, что инновации статистически чаще появляются в обществах, которым свойственны небольшая дистанцированность от власти, высокий индивидуализм и долгосрочная ориентация на будущее (измерения культур, предложенные Г. Хофстеде), монохроничность и низкоконтекстное общение (типология Э. Т. Холла), а также внутренний контроль (типология Ф. Тромпенаарса и Ч. Хэмпден-Тернера).
