Innovation Management and Innovation Process in Selected Enterprises in the Czech Republic and Poland

Original language description

The ability to recognize opportunities and create new ways to exploit them is the foundation of business. Sometimes these are completely new possibilities, taking the form of a radical breakthrough in technology or in the product itself. Another way is that innovation take the form of newly acquired outlets or new ways of providing services in the existing market. What distinguishes real innovators from other companies is the ability to effectively manage innovation and the innovation process. Innovation management is linked to the financing and organization of innovation-making people. On the other hand, the management of the innovation process is based on the management of individual steps from invention to the launch of innovation to the market. Despite the fact that business management is aware of the importance of innovation, it does not always approach innovation management and innovation process effectively. It is therefore important to identify the problems that arise in managing innovation and innovation process and help companies to fix these problems. The contribution of the paper is to evaluate the management of innovation and innovation process in selected enterprises in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic and in the Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. The evaluation will be based on primary data, which will be obtained through a questionnaire survey. The research sample will be 60 Czech and 60 Polish innovative enterprises, i.e. companies carrying out intensive product, process, marketing and organizational innovations. The evaluation of innovation management will be based on an approach to innovation management based on four management models - the opportunist, the advocate, the enabler and the producer according to the authors Wolcott and Lippitz (2007). These two authors emphasize the way in which innovation is financed in innovation management and the way of organizing the implementation of innovations. The cluster analysis will identify differences in the management of the innovation process for selected Czech and Polish enterprises. The results obtained will be shown using dendrogram.
