Development of Innovation Economy - Activity of Local Government in Poland

Abstract

Purpose:The paper aimed to check the activities of local governments contributing to the development of the innovation economy in Poland as well as to find the answer to the questions if local governments both support innovations, as well as implement innovations themselves. Moreover, the purpose of the paper was to find out if activities of local governments depend on their type (rural, urban, urban-rural) or not? Approach/Methodology/Design: In order to achieve that the method of desk research, quantitative and qualitative research were used. The first part of the research was based on a literature review and the second concerned the development of the survey questionnaire based on the literature review. The questionnaire survey was developed and the whole population (2479) of local governments in Poland, was investigated, in early -using the CAWI method. Findings: We have got the answers from 453 local governments. The conducted analysis showed what kind of innovation is undertaken by Polish local governments frequently, we also find out what kind of activities they undertake to increase the innovation economy. Practical Implications:LGUs should continue implementing the innovations resulting from ICT infrastructure and e-government at local level development. Both the world trends as well as last pandemic time confirmed the need of boosting innovations in this area. Secondly, the LG authorities should cooperate with business actors, coming from the other public sector, academia, and civil society. Originality/Value: The research has enabled to develop a conceptual understanding of the relationship between local government and innovative activities.

Innovation orientation and government service innovation: an empirical investigation on the UAE government agencies

“…As a result of this narrow focus, innovation research has been unable to be fully integrated and its importance and impact assessed (Siguaw et al , 2006). There is also evidence to show that the government sector has a lower rate of innovation than the private sector (Derlukiewicz et al , 2021; Jalonen and Helo, 2020) and that there is a general lack of awareness about the importance of innovation in such a sector (Bloch and Bugge, 2013; Mulgan and Albury, 2003; Walker et al , 2002). The results of many studies on innovation are often confused and indecisive because there is no consensus on the role of innovation in the government sector, particularly on the long-term strategy of innovation and its orientation (Moussa et al , 2018).…”

“…The results of many studies on innovation are often confused and indecisive because there is no consensus on the role of innovation in the government sector, particularly on the long-term strategy of innovation and its orientation (Moussa et al , 2018). A look at the literature shows that government studies have not paid enough attention to innovation orientation, which may be more important for an organisation’s long-term success (Derlukiewicz et al , 2021; Siguaw et al , 2006). Such an innovation orientation has not been formalised in the existing literature, even though there is a lot of research on innovation.…”

Conditions for Developing and Supporting Public Sector Innovation in the Face of Economic Turbulence in Europe

“…It cannot even be concluded that the known mechanisms of analysis and evaluation of the feasibility of investment projects can be universally applied to significantly different entities of public administration. A special dimension, when it comes to supporting innovation in the public sector, is the persistent socio-economic inequality between such entities, especially at the local level (Baranowski, 2017;Derlukiewicz et al, 2021).…”
