“…Many research studies deal with measuring competitiveness from different perspectives (e.g. Simionescu et al, 2017;Bánociová & Martinková, 2017;Simionescu, 2016;Calabrese et al, 2013;Vigoda-Gadot et al, 2008). A number of them assess competitiveness of countries in relation to selected aspects, where research confrontational and interpretational lines play an interesting role.…”

The economic development of world economies accompanied by their growing openness and stronger integration processes put pressure on mutual confrontation of their economic power based on its determinant sources. International comparison requires determining a complex of factors that affect the success of developed economies; factors that, given their multiplier effects, influence the social productivity of labor in a country and create a competitive advantage in an international comparison. A key factor of the states' increasing competitiveness is assumed to be the innovation performance of enterprises, which is projected through innovative business processes into the innovation performance of the economy as a whole. This paper determines the impact of their innovation performance on their international competitiveness position observed by the Global Economic Forum based on the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). To assess the impact, the following economic-statistical methods were used: comparative and correlation analyses and logical deduction. Data from the World Economic Forum (WEF), European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS), and Eurostat database were used to process the assessment. The results of the research have led to the conclusion that the Visegrad 4 (V4) countries as transition economies in terms of their economic development are quite similar, but in the ranking of global competitiveness, their position varies depending on the innovative performance. The Czech economy is the best performing of the four, while the worst indicators are attributed to the economies of Slovakia and Hungary. The economy of Poland has a relatively balanced development. The results of these analyses have led to the creation of a discussion platform focused on the evaluation of the innovation potential status and its determinants in Slovakia, with the aim of pointing out critical areas in the country's competitiveness growth on an international scale.

Este estudo analisou os impactos da capacidade de inovar da indústria brasileira, a partir dos resultados consolidados dos 33 setores industriais do país entre os anos de 1998 a 2011. Foi elaborada uma base de dados com informações publicadas da Pesquisa de Inovação Tecnológica (PINTEC/IBGE) nas edições de 2000, 2003, 2005, 2008 e 2011. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de regressão com dados em painel balanceado, por meio da técnica de Mínimos Quadrados Ponderados. Considerou-se os investimentos em inovação como um recurso empresarial e os impactos foram analisados para quatro dimensões: produto, processo, mercado e custos. Verificou-se que o investimento total em inovação tem impacto significativo e positivo nas dimensões de produto, mercado e parcialmente em custos. As análises individuais dos investimentos em inovação direcionam para diferentes estratégias setoriais de inovação e proporcionam novos ‘insights’ para compreensão dos efeitos de recurso no desempenho setorial.

“…In this context, Krasniqi and Desai (2016) found innovation as a key factor that positively influences high-growth firms operating in transition economies. Calabrese et al (2013) studied the relationship between types of innovations on firm performance in the context of Italian firms. They found a positive impact of innovation drivers on knowledge of grants and funding opportunities, network, and innovation efforts.…”

The paper's aim is to examine the dependence of the quality of the business environment on defined technological factors (availability of human capital and research and development infrastructure) and to define and quantify significant technological factors that create the quality of the business environment in the SMEs segment. Part of its goal was the comparison of the defined factors between the Czech Republic (CR) and the Slovak Republic (SR). In connection with the stated research goal, a questionnaire survey was conducted among businesses operating in the SME segment. Through this research, 312 companies were surveyed in the Czech Republic and 329 companies in the Slovak Republic. To achieve the primary goal of the article, methods such as correlation analysis and multiple linear regression modelling (t-tests, F-ratio, adjusted coefficient of determination, and so on) were applied. The results of the research have brought interesting findings. Research and development infrastructure, as well as the availability of human capital are important factors that have a positive impact on the business environment in both countries.
