Regional Conditions of Innovativeness of Enterprises on the Example of the Silesian Voivodeship

Summary/Abstract: The disproportion between Polish and European enterprises is one of the reasons precipitating the need to diagnose the conditions of innovativeness of enterprisesin Poland. As far as the external conditions are concerned, regional mesoenvironmental factors, largely dependent on the actions of local authorities of a given voivodeship, are analysed relatively rarely. The aim of this paper is to verify the thesis that there are a number of factors at the regional level, which influence innovativeness of enterprises, and proper stimulation of these factors by local authorities of the voivodeship may contribute to increasing the innovativeness of enterprises. The conclusions are drawn from a survey performed in Poland on a sample of 259 small, medium, and large enterprises from the Silesian Voivodeship.
