Evaluating the determinative factors driving patents and foreign technologies acquisitions in Visegrad countries

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

PurposeThis paper aims to empirically examine the factors driving the acquisition of patents and foreign technologies in 2,198 firms spanning multiple industries in Visegrad countries. Design/methodology/approachTo fulfil the research objectives, the authors used the binary logistic regression models for the empirical specifications to analyse the various hypotheses to ascertain the factors contributing to patents, foreign technologies and international quality certificate acquisitions in Visegrad countries. FindingsThe results show that technological innovations, in-house and external research and development, intense competition from the informal sector and external knowledge search positively influence firms to acquire patents, foreign technologies and international quality certificates. The study further showed that certain firm characteristics, such as size, having a board of directors, female top managers and top managers&apos; experience, positively influenced firms&apos; ability to obtain patents, foreign technologies and international quality certificates. Originality/valueThe authors provide new insights into understanding the factors contributing to international technological linkages in the context of transitional countries such as the Visegrad four group. The authors have shown that international technology linkages through foreign technology licences and international quality certifications are vital for innovations in transition economies.
