Journal Title: Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology; Zeszyty naukowe SGGW - Year 2016, Vol 94, Issue
Abstract
The aim of the research was to empirically determine the factors, which stimulate the development of innovativeness on the Polish furniture market. The survey was conducted in 2015 among the 80 medium and large furniture enterprises. During this period on the Polish furniture market were 462 companies, where the employment level exceeded 49 people. It follows that the study involved 17% of the population. In the first order was presented the characteristic of the analyzed furniture enterprises, including the activity period on the market, the capital ownership and the legal form of ownership. Then were presented the factors that could significantly affect the implementation of product or process innovations in the Polish furniture enterprises. Comparative analyzes were carried out on the basis of the export activity criterion. Thus, analyzed community was divided into 2 groups of companies. The first group (I) comprised companies pursuing both the export and domestic activity (65 companies), and the second group (II) - companies selling products only on the domestic market (15 companies)
