The topic dealt with in the paper is very timely and has assumed major importance from the viewpoint of development of research into economies based on sustainable development and application of research findings in specific solutions in the economy. The paper postulates that innovation is a fundamental and necessary instrument for implementing sustainable development throughout the whole economy. In order to confirm the thesis, first the paper attempts to identify the role of innovation in various areas of the economy. Secondly, it identifies the sources of innovation and areas of the economy which most require new innovative solutions. The study is based on literature, both domestic and foreign. The author analyses theoretical and empirical publications available on the market. Older publications turned out to be necessary and helpful in describing the evolution of the approach to sustainable development of the economy from a historical point of view. Newer works provide a basis for the compilation of a vast majority of the paper. The paper is a preliminary step in a more detailed research into various aspects of an economy based on sustainable development.

Innovative development of a place is necessary associated with the individual positioning of the place. Europe consists of more than 100 thousand competing territorial units, which need to attract the potential consumers by means of creating a bright and actual image. Without having the unique, characteristic image, a potentially attractive place can remain unnoticed on the enormous European location market.The objective of this research is improving our understanding of a place image and its influence on competitiveness of the location. Over the last decades, the emotional essence of place image has made considerable impact on economic and demographic development of places. This project will allow us to study quantitatively the increasing value of a place image as determinative of its appeal. Our project, thus, aspires to improve measurements of features of a place image for the purpose of management on the level of location attractiveness.The research into and expression of geographical identity of a place is convenient to carry out, using the image of a Dragon as the personification of «genius loci». The methodology is confirmed on the example of a number of cities in the southeast area of Bulgaria.

This article presents different models of innovation processes and focuses in particular on the open innovation. The empirical part is based on the findings on the innovation cooperation of enterprises in the EU and OECD (these data, among others, determine the open innovation). At the end of the article there is a case study of Nokia which implements the open innovation in its innovation activity. The aim of this article is to present the paradigm of the open innovation processes. This approach concentrates on sharing knowledge, i.e. making new solutions available to other units by means of e.g. license sale. The open innovation business model takes advantage of both internal and external sources of ideas without a fear that a company's own ideas when transferred to another organization will lead to the company's loss of profits coming from this idea. The formal framework of an organization is just a symbolic one and makes the flow of knowledge between the organization and its environment possible. The enterprises that adopt the open innovation strategy both enthusiastically develop ideas which were created by others as well as make their own ideas available to other organizations that find them more interesting.

Recently, the rapid development of innovative technologies based on cloud computing has been observed. Many countries are not keeping up with the relevant legislation, while cloud computing adoption requires transparent and high-quality regulations. This paper is focused on European Union member states. It checks whether the quality of regulation has an impact on cloud computing usage in EU countries. As regulations, quality data from the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Regulatory Quality 2021 indicator was used. Data on cloud computing usage from Eurostat questionnaires on ICT from 2021 were used. Between these variables, there is a moderate to strong linear correlation and causality. The univariate linear regression model was proposed to explain the impact of regulatory quality on cloud computing usage in a quantitative way. The regulatory quality indicator increased by one resulted in the increase in cloud computing usage by 21.56% by companies ceteris paribus. The model presented explains 40% of the variance for cloud computing usage by regulatory quality indicator. These conclusions can be valuable from the management perspective for governments that aim to increase the innovativeness and competitiveness of economies, for enterprises that consider the implementation of cloud computing services, and for non-governmental organizations that can have an impact on legislation to contribute to economic development.

Nowe technologie pozwalają zdobyć przewagę konkurencyjną. Przedsiębiorstwa, które wprowadzają innowacje do swoich produktów lub sposobu funkcjonowania mogą się szybciej rozwijać i są w mniejszym stopniu dotknięte zagrożeniem upadłości w czasie okresie spowolnienia gospodarczego. Od czasu wejścia Polski do Unii Europejskiej firmy mające nowe pomysły na rozwój mogły dofinansować ich realizację dzięki funduszom unijnym. Znaczna część tych środków trafiła do polskich małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw, aby zwiększyć konkurencyjność polskiej gospodarki. Przeprowadzone w roku 2007 oraz w 2009 badanie ankietowe na grupie losowo wybranych ponad 1300 małych i średnich przedsiębiorstwach w Polsce pozwoliło na ilościową ocenę innowacyjności i wykorzystania nowych technologii. Autorzy przedstawiają wyniki badań z uwzględnieniem podziału na branże działalności oraz wielkość przedsiębiorstwa, dzięki czemu możliwe jest wskazanie grup najbardziej innowacyjnych polskich MSP oraz czynników innowacyjność determinujących.

The purpose of the article is to analyse selected aspects of innovation in the Polish tourism sector from the perspective of consumers and to highlight those areas where innovative solutions should be implemented. The author uses empirical data to verify the following hypothesis: consumers’ perception of innovations concerning tourism products in the Polish market varies considerably and depends on respondents’ characteristics. The study was based on information collected from 407 respondents using the computer-assisted web interview method (CAWI), which constituted a country-wide quota sample, representative of the Polish population aged 18 or over, in terms of age, sex, education, the size of the place of residence. The results of the study indicate that consumers are mostly in favour of innovation in the tourism sector, notice emerging developments in this field and are very optimistic about the country’s innovation capacity. Differences in opinions about innovative tourist products were depended on the professional status of the respondents. Consumer awareness may be one of the key elements in the development of the sector. The development of innovative tourism services in Poland should be a continuous process, especially in less developed areas, which depend heavily on tourism. The development in this area is facilitated by favourable attitudes of consumers towards innovation in the tourism sector, especially in niche markets, and specialised local resources could help to intensify innovation activities.

The aim of the article is to analyse the dependence between the innovation activity, notably the ability to create new technological knowledge, and the competitiveness of economies. The author disusses fi rst the main factors that determine the competitiveness of economies, with special consideration of innovation capacity, and various measures applied in this respect. The empirical analysis focuses on correlation between 25 indexes refl ecting various aspects of the potential to create new technological knowledge and 2 indexes measuring the competiveness of the economies (GDP per capita and labour productivity). The analysis was carried out on a data sample covering 26 European countries (for some indexes, data were available for 22 or 23 countries) in the period 2003–2010. According to the results, the following factors are most important in determining the innovation ability of individual countries, thereby contributing to the competiveness of their economies: total expenditure on research and development (R&D), employment in R&D activity and intellectual property protection (represented by the relative number of patent applications).

Contemporary problems of globalization necessitate the processes of strengthening on the local and regional scale and many scientists who deal with local and regional development point to a new phenomenon called glocalisation. This strengthening, however, requires building a constant competitive advantage of local economies through innovation system which is often called as social one. Under these circumstances, any new initiative in the local section exposing its social meaning, seems to be very desirable. The search for innovative ways to achieve the specific objectives through the new organizational forms, regulations, as well as a new way of life, becomes necessary in the conditions of these changes because the local development must guarantee the improvement of living standards of people, social groups and communities in any dimensions. Such activities often lead to increasing the abilities to diagnose and solve problems in various aspects of life.
