“…The primary source of knowledge that constitutes the company's absorptive capacity is R&D. This is due to the fact that R&D generates innovation and creates knowledge, which allows enterprises to develop the capability to manage data and information from many sources [43]. Multiple researchers agree that R&D investments have a positive effect on a firm's innovation capability [44,48,49,63,[118][119][120][121].…”

“…As such, it has far-reaching implications for innovating. Regarding a company's internal processes, several authors point to such aspects as organisational strategy focused on innovation, the development of human capital of the firm as well as R&D expenditures [24,[42][43][44][45][46]. Within the aspects regarding organisational attributes stimulating a firm's innovation capability, most authors indicate leadership, risk acceptance, organisational culture conducive to innovation and efficient communication enabling knowledge sharing and learning [24,42,47].…”

The innovation capability of a company is considered the determinant of its competitiveness in the long-term. Therefore, it is of increasing importance to understand the critical variable behind a firm’s innovation capability. The paper explores these issues and contributes to the research on the factors that drive a company’s innovation capability. The aim of the paper is to identify which factors determine the innovation capability of manufacturing enterprises operating in Poland. In the theoretical part, it provides an overview of recent contributions to the literature on a company’s innovation capability enhancers. The empirical contribution of the paper refers to recognising the relationship between the certain practices pursued by Polish manufacturing enterprises and their innovation capability measured by innovation output. Using a model for panel data, the study finds that that the factors driving innovation capability of manufacturing enterprises operating in Poland are the following: inter-organisational cooperation, hiring employees in research and development (R&D) activities as well as firms’ internal expenditures on R&D. The study is based on the data from publications of the Central Statistical Office of Poland, which contain information on the activities of manufacturing enterprises and reports presenting the results of research on the innovation capability of enterprises.

“…R&D investment, which has a leverage effect on the production quality of firms, is often defined as the technological intensity of a company or a particular sector (Ruffoni et al, 2018). As long as R&D investments maintain in a sector or company, their R&D intensity increases.…”

Multinational companies (MNCs) show an apparent tendency toward research and development (R&D) for the last three decades. Many kinds of research have recently focused on R&D in emerging countries (ECs) to reveal the differences from R&D in developed countries. This paper presents a literature review consisting of 23 articles from 2004-2019 on R&D in emerging markets. By conducting content analysis, it has been analyzed their prominent concepts and results. According to the research focus, the articles examined have been classified into five main groups – internationalization of R&D, R&D activities, R&D investments, technology-based R&D, R&D offshoring – along with articles that cannot be grouped. The main purpose of this study is to determine the current tendency of R&D in emerging markets. Thus, it provides to understand in which position R&D has in emerging markets, and under which circumstances it is successful. Furthermore, practitioners can benefit from the results of the presented study. The systematic evaluation of the findings contributes to the formation of a general view for future research.

“…2 Evidence of this claim is the widespread assumption in academia that innovation can be measured by assessing the amount of money invested in Research and Development, which, per se, is mostly connected to the development of new products (and sometimes, new processes) (OECD/ EUROSTAT, 2018;RUFFONI et al, 2018;ZAWISLAK et al, 2012). efforts -is not capable of explaining the continuous evolution and the dynamics of markets as they happen in reality.…”

Innovation is at the core of any market economy and it is necessary for any organization to survive in competitive environments. This article aims to discuss the current approach to innovation seen in most of the management and economics literature and it will suggest that this understanding, loosely based on Schumpeter’s ideas on creative destruction, is not capable of representing the actual dynamism seen in the markets. In order to better understand that dynamism, the market process approach of the Austrian School is presented as a substitute. The comparison indicates that adopting the market process approach, in which entrepreneurship and innovation are endogenous and not-necessarily related to breaks or shocks, leads to a much better understanding of the innovation phenomena and, consequently, and opens new paths in the understanding of the entrepreneurial role. The work concludes presenting limitations and suggestions for future research in management, and economics, and finally, some pedagogical suggestions are also given.
