Ocena działalności innowacyjnej przedsiębiorstw z działów przetwórstwa przemysłowego w Polsce w latach 2013–2015
Evaluation of Innovative Activity of Enterprises from Industrial Processing Departments in Poland in the years 2013–2015

Summary/Abstract: Innovative processes have become the subject of intense scientific research around the world. In the conditions of global competition, the innovativeness of industrial enterprises is an important factor determining both the development of individual enterprises and the entire economy. The aim of the authors of the article is to try to evaluate the innovation of industrial processing enterprises in Poland as well as defining in which of the industrial processing departments the enterprises are the most innovative, and which variables have contributed to it to the greatest extent. As a consequence, a ranking of industrial processing departments for the years 2013-2015 was prepared using the synthetic measure of development (SMR), which enables the construction of an innovation indicator for each industry processing department and also the separation of economy departments with a similar degree of innovation. In the study, taking into account the Polish Classification of Business Activities (PKD) 2007, an attempt was made to measure the innovation of industrial processing enterprises (section C) at the two-digit level of aggregation, i.e. at the level of departments in this section. Such a level of aggregation of information was considered sufficiently detailed and appropriate to assess the innovative activity of processing industry enterprises. The study used the results of the research of innovative activity of industrial and service enterprises in Poland in the years 2013–2015 published by the Central Statistical Office (GUS) in 2016, which are implemented in accordance with the Oslo methodology as part of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS).
