“…Furthermore, positive adoption of innovation by employees contributes to a more cohesive organisational culture, thus influencing employee integration and increasing the level of trust between them [4]. Recent research also confirms that positive adoption of innovation by employees helps organisations overcome performance shortfalls and seize new opportunities within and around the company [5]. The above aspects are very important from the point of view of sustainable development and considerations on the needs and relationships between society 5.0 and industry 4.0.…”

Positive adoption of innovation by staff is a current and crucial issue for proper operation of businesses, industry, and socio-economic environment. The article discusses variables affecting innovation adoption and analyses selected organisational culture factors in terms of their impact on innovation adoption in Polish IT companies. A novelty here is a study of their impact separately at each stage of innovation. The objective was to assess the perception of the impact of selected organisational culture factors on adoption of innovation by Polish IT industry staff at different stages. Due to the complexity of the different research aspects, a method triangulation strategy was used, combining survey techniques, desk research, expert opinions and statistical analysis. The survey used an original questionnaire called “The Process of Innovation Adoption and Perception” to examine opinions on 15 organisational culture factors in the context of innovation adoption. The research confirmed that selected organisational culture factors have a different impact on innovation adoption at different stages of innovation introduction in the Polish IT industry. On this basis, groups of factors perceived similarly in terms of innovation adoption at the individual stages were identified, forming guidelines for the proper implementation of innovation in Polish IT companies.

“…First, we focus on the importance of internal and external knowledge sources. We expect that internal sources are crucial in stimulating firm's innovation capabilities and absorptive capacity, help to better understand innovation process within a firm and enhance innovative outputs and competitive advantage, specifically within CEE countries, which often lack of funds and insufficient incentives to cooperate [50][51][52]. Therefore, we hypothesize that: H 1 : Innovators in the catching-up CEE countries depend more on internal knowledge than on external knowledge.…”

The role of foreign technologies and R&D in innovation processes within catching-up CEE countries

Prior research showed that there is a growing consensus among researchers, which point out a key role of external knowledge sources such as external R&D and technologies in enhancing firms´ innovation. However, firms´ from catching-up Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have already shown in the past that their innovation models differ from those applied, for example, in Western Europe. This study therefore introduces a novel two-staged model combining artificial neural networks and random forests to reveal the importance of internal and external factors influencing firms´ innovation performance in the case of 3,361 firms from six catching-up CEE countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), by using the World Banks´ Enterprise Survey data from 2019. We confirm the hypothesis that innovators in the catching-up CEE countries depend more on internal knowledge sources and, moreover, that participation in the firms groups represents an important factor of firms´ innovation. Surprisingly, we reject the hypothesis that foreign technologies are a crucial source of external knowledge. This study contributes to the theories of open innovation and absorptive capacity in the context of selected CEE countries and provides several practical implications for firms.

“…In this sense, Demola fits into the aforementioned responsible innovation approach that “proposes a set of procedures by which innovation processes become more responsive to societal challenges” [ 38 ] and for which stakeholder involvement and participation is regarded as a key factor. In addition, as several studies have proved [ 28 , 29 ], that interaction and cooperation are critical factors for effective knowledge creation and transfer, and Demola, as a OIP, integrates the knowledge triangle approach that “emphasizes the linkages between education, research, and innovation” [ 37 ]. Thus, Demola becomes a co-creation process that goes beyond the push and pull approaches to innovation, due to what Fox called VSP latent realities, that “drive down barriers to resources, including specialist knowledge, and greatly reduces transaction costs, in such a way as to open up an ever increasing variety of latent instantiation pathways, association networks, and influence patterns” [ 39 ].…”

“…From a “traditional” systemic perspective [ 27 ], collaboration between public and private agents in an innovation system is essential both for the generation and transfer of knowledge [ 28 , 29 ], and for the governance of the system itself [ 5 ]. Within this next-generation STI policy framework, public-private interaction becomes the backbone of each policy.…”

The next generation of Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) policies will be defined by mission orientation and co-creation processes and implemented by dynamic public-private partnerships. However, the experience of European countries up to now in attempting to boost cooperation in innovation reveals a very different story. Beyond some contextual factors, the characteristics of the agents involved, the dynamics of their relationships and the design of the collaboration tools also have a critical influence at organisational level. This paper aims to identify these organisational factors in different contexts through the analysis of the Demola model, a university-industry innovation platform created in Finland which has spread to other countries, including Spain. Demola applies a standardised model but it has differences in its functioning depending on the national levels of collaboration in the innovation systems. In our case study, we have compared Finland and Spain, bearing in mind the features of the agents involved and their relationships, through a content analysis of primary and secondary information. The results of the study show that the institutional structure of the collaboration and the organisational culture of each institution are key factors in its functioning. These results can be useful for innovation managers, university leaders, educational experts and policy makers.
