Recognition of the determinants of innovation capacity of enterprises

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the concept of analysis aimed at evaluating the innovative capacity of enterprises. The starting point for its estimation is the innovative potential of the surveyed enterprises, while reference is made to the innovation system of enterprises. The aim of the research outlined in this way required the development of the concept of diagnostic analysis aimed at evaluating the innovative potential and capacity of an enterprise. An important research tool is the analysis of the relationship between the resources and the capacity, which shows the cause-and-effect relationship between these categories. The following arguments have been assumed in the presented concept: 1) innovative capacity is both a function and a criterion for the evaluation of the innovation system of an enterprise, as well as for the projection of the possibility of expanding innovative activities; 2) innovative capacity can be seen in parts as well as in an aggregate structure for a given enterprise or the entire industry; 3) the value of innovative capacity (innovation potential, innovation system) can be classified at the following levels of quality: low, medium and high, using the method of categorization. The research procedure has four steps: 1) determination of the object and scope of analysis; 2) formulation of dimensions (criteria) of the innovation potential; 3) measuring the quality level of innovative capacity; 4) verification. For illustrative purposes, an example of the innovation capacity of enterprises was shown. The research included 316 enterprises from the Małopolska Region.
