“…In most cases, the obtained results confirm the conclusions from other studies devoted to the analysis of determinants of firm-level innovativeness of Polish enterprises (Arendt & Grabowski, 2017Szczygielski & Grabowski, 2014;Szczygielski et al, 2017;Lewandowska & Kowalski, 2015;Lewandowska, 2016). Moreover, the results are consistent with the conclusions from studies devoted to regional differences in innovativeness (Golejewska, 2018). It should be stressed that the conclusions from this paper significantly expand the existing knowledge concerning firm-level and regional-level determinants of innovativeness.…”

The paper elaborates on the innovati veness of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Poland from the regional perspecti ve. The empirical evidence is based on data collected among 820 Polish SMEs which acti vely use ICT tools in their business processes. Identi fying fi rm-level (internal) and regional drivers of innovati ons in these enterprises was the main aim of this study. The originality of the uti lized research approach lies in combining within one framework fi rm-level data with meso data describing the innovati ve potenti al of the regional environment and using multi level randomeff ects models to analyze the relevance of fi rm-level and regional drivers of SMEs' innovati veness. By deploying a regional random eff ects approach, we assessed indirectly the eff ecti veness of innovati on policies conducted in Polish NUTS 2 regions within a RIS and S3 framework. Interesti ngly, the research hypothesis, stati ng that regional (external) factors are more important to enhance innovati veness of SME than fi rm-level (internal) drivers, was verifi ed negati vely. The study revealed that SMEs in less-developed regions of Poland rely more on in-house capabiliti es, than on the regional innovati ve potenti al, to introduce diff erent types of innovati ons. This suggests that the S3 framework in lessdeveloped regions should concentrate more on linking fi rm-level factors and regional innovati on systems to enhance companies' innovati on capacity.

“…Additionally, the research discovered the occurrence of unsatisfactory cooperation between enterprises in the area of innovation. This suggests the existence of distrust between firms as regards innovation activity, which may result in the lack of mutual benefits from the implementation of innovations (Golejewska, 2018). Similar conclusions can be derived from the Norwegian experience.…”

The purpose of this arti cle is to defi ne an innovati on strategy for Polish industrial processing enterprises for 2012-2014, i.e. aft er a negati ve external shock which escalated in [2008][2009][2010] and was associated with a global fi nancial crisis. Various types of enterprises (small, medium, large), geographic scope of markets, forms of innovati on acti vity of enterprises, decisions by enterprises regarding innovati on implementati on types, methods of product development and process innovati ons by enterprises, and forms of eco-innovati on which are the most frequent in industrial processing, were studied as well as barriers to innovati on. Overall, seven detailed research hypotheses were stati sti cally verifi ed using a chi-square test for independence. Subsequently, due to a high number of variables taken into account in the study as well as the necessity of providing a detailed descripti on of the relati onships between them, a correspondence analysis was employed. The analysis was aimed at reducing the multi -dimensional space where the studied phenomena occur to a space of fewer dimensions, in this case, to two dimensions. This allows for a careful examinati on of the co-occurrence of the phenomena using biplots. A relati vely slight tendency of enterprises towards innovati on was established as well as cauti on in its implementati on, which may result from the relati ve persistence of the exogenous shock eff ects. At the same ti me, there is a clear tendency towards eco-innovati on in a broader perspecti ve, with a slow decrease -as presumed by enterprises -in the importance of barriers to innovati on. Practi cal conclusions following from the study show the need to emphasize the benefi ts of innovati on, especially eco-innovati on, in pro-innovati on policy, which will help to avoid the adverse eff ects of the external shock -psychological barriers and This is an open access arti cle under the CC BY license (htt ps://creati ecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode). 36 / Diversification of innovation strategies of Polish industrial processing enterprises depending on their size after the global financial crisis Evolving Enterprise Competences as a Consequence of Response to Changes in the Environment Anna Ujwary-Gil, Natalia Potoczek (Eds.)excessive caution in innovation planning and implementation. The article presents an original, unique, and comprehensive analysis of the relationships between sixty-three variables describing the innovation activity of enterprises. Therefore, the value of the article lies in an original and strictly empirical approach to the problems of innovation in the industrial processing sector, which means that the study presented in it might become a possible model for such analyses in the future.

“…Gartner, 1990;Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). Scholars focus on entrepreneur-and venture-level characteristics, such as alertness to new opportunities and bricolage activities (Roundy, Harrison, Khavul, Pérez-Nordtvedt, & 2017;Zollo, Rialti, Ciappei, & Boccardi, 2018) and, recently, on the system-level forces that support and promote regional entrepreneurial activities (Golejewska, 2018;Nicotra, Romano, Del Giudice, & Schillaci, 2018). Across these levels of analysis, scholars are devoting growing attention to how entrepreneurs construct, convey, and interpret their actions through language because of its central role in the entrepreneurship process (e.g., Clarke & Cornelissen, 2014;Roundy, 2016).…”

If there are concepts that have huge academic literature and are of outstanding practical significance in corporate practice, then business performance is certainly one of them. However, the authors of this special issue add interesting and exciting elements to our knowledge regarding business success and performance in many ways. This special issue underlines that business success, which has both financial and social components, depends to a great extent on the knowledge, skills, and cooperative skills of people in the organization, and their openness to the world of external and internal stakeholders. The behavior of people, when heavily influenced by the values of the organization and its associated business ethics, has a major impact on business success. This is also true for ethically and socially controversial industries, such as pharmaceutical, alcohol and tobacco. The research results of the authors in this special issue show that different organizational frameworks and solutions can lead to the success of a business. There is, of course, no single, infallible "recipe" leading to success. However, developing project management skills and applying a project management approach within an organization can increase the organization's entrepreneurial ability. The key feature of such a solution is that the organization becomes more open to stakeholders and processes in its local environment. This also means that an organization's ability to innovate, and improve the efficiency of its innovation processes, increases. It is an exciting feature of the special issue that most of the studies deal with a specific area of the global economy, namely Central and Eastern Europe. Empirical research carried out in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, and a comparative analysis of them, is a valuable contribution to the increasingly rich literature dealing with this region, as well as the academic literature in the more general sense. The first paper by Majra Hodžić and Helena Hrůzová, "A study of project management practices in the Czech Republic," addresses the importance of project management for organizations' innovation and performance. Based on the example of the Czech Republic, Hodžić and Hrůzová study current practices used in the field of project management and underline the
