Innovation Activities of Foreign Companies Presented in the Liberec Region

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this paper is to find out, whether major foreign companies (the largest employers) bring innovation movement, are engaged in innovation activities and show a more significant impact on the development of a regional innovation environment. This issue was investigated based on theoretical research and analysis of available secondary data collected by the Czech Statistical Office in a questionnaire survey dealing with innovation activities under the acronym TI (2018). The complete sample of 31 large foreign companies was selected according to a predetermined criterion (i.e. more than 250 employees, doing business in one of the manufacturing industries and operating in the Liberec Region). Four groups of indicators (identification data, human resources; research, development and innovation; and sales) were monitored. Within HR, the proportion of employees with higher education was considered. Moreover, in the field of R&D and innovation it was investigated whether the companies are engaged in internal / external research (including its spending on the research), whether the company launched an innovative product as well as its intellectual property rights activities. In terms of sales, not only their total amount, but also the share of innovated and non-innovative products were analysed. Based on the analysis of the available data, it was found that a company’s approach to innovations varies. Proving a more significant mutual dependence of the scope of innovation activities on individual factors is very problematic and it will be subject to a more detailed research. Nevertheless, some companies show a clear relationship between their R&D activities and their economic results.
