The main aim of the article is to present a recognition of the factors in uencing the innovative activity (organizational and marketing) of industrial enterprises in Poland. It was decided to specify 5 potential variables explaining innovative activity of enterprises. Multiple regression was used to test the significance of factors. The results show that the share of micro companies in the given division of manufacturing turned out to be a significant factor in determining the level of activity in the scope of marketing-related innovativeness. Companies owned by foreign subjects display higher activity in the sphere of innovative activity. The share of bank credits in short-term liabilities turns out to be a serious barrier to implementation of organizational innovations.

This paper covers considerations on the relationships of four dimensions of organizational innovativeness: product, process, strategic and behavioral. The purpose of the article is to present the results of research on empirical verification of theoretical statements about the interdependencies within dimensions of organizational innovativeness. This research aims to identify if there are any positive relationships among particular dimensions of organizational innovativeness and to define the character of statistically significant relationships. The study has been done in the aviation industry, in deliberately chosen innovation cluster associating aviation and aerospace organizations from Poland. During the research a quantitative approach was adopted including the application of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient analysis and curve estimation regression models. The results show that the particular dimensions of the organizational innovativeness are positively interrelated, although in case of behavioral and product innovativeness the identified correlation is not statistically significant.

Purpose: This paper aims to match subjective and objective measures of organizational innovativeness and test correlative relationship between the two. Methodology: The research adopts a quantitative approach, and applies correlation analysis to identify interdependencies. The study has been done in the aviation industry, as organizational innovativeness has so far been described especially in high-tech industries – however it has not been investigated within aviation industry yet. Findings: The results show that the discussions over reliability of research based on subjective measurements techniques are not unfounded. The evidence suggests that subjective measures are not correlated with objective measures, and the outcomes of third-party investigations differ considerably. Therefore decisions about measurements techniques should be deliberate, thought out, theoretically grounded and justified. In general, methodological recommendations provided by this paper could be boiled down to the ascertainment that accurate and reliable assessment of organizational innovativeness should use a set of objective measures addressing all stages of the innovation process. Originality: It should be noted that this study was restricted to only one industry and prone to some common bias. The aviation industry sample was relatively small and purposefully selected, disallowing conclusive statements made outside of this empirical setting. However despite the limitations this paper provides some significant contribution to evaluation and research on innovativeness. It compares two approaches to measurement and empirically proves which approach is more suitable in case of such a highly innovation-intensive sector like aviation. Moreover, it introduces a new in Polish research tool for subjective assessment of organizational innovativeness namely the questionnaire developed by Wang and Ahmed (2004).
