AN INNOVATIVE PROFILE OF FOOD INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

Summary/Abstract: Innovation is a major engine, a major source of competitiveness and competitive advantage, a fact substantiated in detail in the literature, which has not only a positive impact on the performance of companies, but is also essential for their survival. The lack of sufficiently complete observations and data on the innovation of companies is an obstacle to its influencing factors and, accordingly, to the formation of a sufficiently good policy at the enterprise level. The purpose of creating an innovative profile of the enterprises, subject of research is to identify the main factors that determine the innovation of companies as an engine of their economic development. The main goal is not only to classify the factors that affect the innovation of the company, but also to determine the strength of their impact. The main factors that characterize the specifics of the company's activity are the size of the enterprise, the way of creating technologically new or improved products; the sources of information for creating innovation; institutional interactions in implementation of innovation. Another task is to distinguish the factors that have a unambiguously positive impact. As factors that unambiguously determine the innovation of companies are identified: company strategies, which are a prerequisite for innovative behavior through the formation of adequate policies, including the cost of research and development. In particular, the factors for the innovative process of the surveyed organizations can be measured by the innovation of organizational and management practices, R&D costs, export intensity, the number of produced technologically new or improved products, both for the enterprise and the market, technologically new processes. in the last three years, patent intensity. The report presents an innovative profile of surveyed enterprises in the food industry by assessing these factors with a relative five-point scale.
