Purpose: The main aim of the study is the analysis of the awareness of competency needs in businesses in relation to the development of Industry 4.0 and the possibility of meeting those needs within business cooperation networks. Methodology: We formed a model of competency needs for companies operating as part of Industry 4.0 in Poland, considering the needs of managers and other staff members. The model was then employed in empirical studies. The pilot empirical study was conducted using two methods: a quantitative CAWI method, which covered 81 companies from the metal processing and machine industry in Podlaskie Voivodship, and a qualitative IDI on a sample of 25 organizations. Findings: Manufacturing companies are not fully aware of the competency needs related to Industry 4.0, covered by the established model. Moreover, we found that the most strongly felt competency needs – both by managers and other employees – may not be met within the business cooperation network. In order to satisfy these needs, partners must be found outside the studied network. The business cooperation network that we studied may only satisfy the less noticeable competency needs. Implications: The developed competency model should be studied and further verified, including testing with a larger sample of companies, specifying the behavioral competency gaps related to Industry 4.0, their filling in using formal education systems, lifelong education, internships, and apprenticeships. The need for further research is dictated by the intensity of processes occurring within the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Value: The pilot nature of the study and its limited sample do not undermine its contribution to the body of knowledge as it confirms that the competencies of managers and other staff members are one of the key determinants of successful implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept in Poland.

The article refers to the issue of innovation and economic cooperation between small and mediumsized enterprises. The authors attempt to assess the extent to which different types of innovations are generated by specific sources and to check the impact of economic cooperation of enterprises on the innovation process. The basic types of innovation were presented: product innovation, process innovation, organizational innovation and marketing innovation, followed by a brief verification of the sources through which they are created. A little more space was devoted to economic cooperation, which especially affects the innovative processes introduced by SMEs. Then, the results of 786 companies from Mazowieckie Voivodship were presented, which verified five hypotheses about the relationship between types of innovation and sources of innovation, with a particular emphasis on economic cooperation.

Artykuł odnosi się do problematyki innowacyjności i współdziałania gospodarczego małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MSP). Podjęto w nim próbę oceny, w jakim stopniu poszczególne rodzaje innowacji są tworzone przez określone źródła, oraz sprawdzenia, jaki wpływ na ten proces ma współdziałanie gospodarcze przedsiębiorstw. Przedstawiono podstawowe rodzaje innowacji: produktowe, procesowe, organizacyjne i marketingowe, a następnie przeprowadzono krótką weryfikację źródeł, dzięki którym powstają. W dalszej części ukazano współdziałanie gospodarcze jako szczególny sposób wpływania na procesy innowacyjne realizowane przez MSP. Przedstawiono również wyniki badań 786 przedsiębiorstw z województwa mazowieckiego, weryfikujące pięć hipotez badawczych dotyczących relacji pomiędzy rodzajami innowacji a źródłami innowacji, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem współdziałania gospodarczego.
