Struktura portfela innowacji dużych przedsiębiorstw w Polsce przed globalną pandemią i w czasie jej trwania
The Structure of Innovation Portfolio of Large Enterprises in Poland Before and During the Global Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: Innovative enterprises actively shape their innovation portfolio, i.e. they make decisions concerning the allocation of resources between different types of innovations. However, it is worth noting that changes in the business environment, such as the ongoing pandemic caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, have a significant impact on these decisions. The aim of the article is to identify changes in the structure of the innovation portfolio of large enterprises in Poland triggered by the pandemic. This aim was achieved through empirical research conducted among enterprises operating in Poland which employ more than 250 people and introduced at least one innovation over the period 2016–2019. For the purpose of the paper analysed innovations have been divided into core, borderline and transformational innovations, and the results indicate that the structure of the innovation portfolio of the surveyed enterprises is dominated by the allocation of resources to borderline innovations while the allocation of resources to core and transformational innovations is lower. As a result of the ongoing pandemic, there has been a shift in the portfolio structure of the surveyed enterprises from borderline and transformational innovations to core innovations.
