Number of participants was verified through power sample analysis using G power. Collected data was statistically tested using test of given proportion via R programme. R: Results imply, that SMEs with higher level of digital maturity perceive its direct influence on innovation activities, on the contrary to enterprises classified with lower level of digital maturity. The influence on innovation processes and innovations ratio is measured, leading to the conclusion that more digitally mature SMEs report higher number of innovations. D: This paper contributes to prior literature by practical implementation of modified digital maturity model and addressing the correlation between the level of digital maturity and innovation processes in SMEs in the Czech Republic.
