Description:
Innovation and the ability to transfer unique production factors (including knowledge, skills, and creativity) are a source of productivity and competitive advantage in various industries around the world . Innovative company performance depends on two groups of factors ? exogenous (i.e., technology or knowledge acquisition, knowledge spillover effects) and endogenous (such as R&D expenditures, a skilled workforce, and an organizational innovation environment as a company strategy). It also depends on the field (industry) in which a firm operates, the availability of financial resources, and the degree to which they cooperate. Each of these determinants influences national and regional productivity, and their effectiveness is influenced by development level, technological advancement, and economic context. Therefore, the project is concerned with modeling the dynamics and effects of individual drivers of productivity at the national and regional levels. Similarly, it is necessary to conduct inter-sector and international analyses of the dynamics of knowledge and cooperation effects in this area and to define their practical implications.
