“…For the required weightings, the Fuller's triangle method will be used (Cárdenas Gutiérrez, Delgado Valencia, Silva Calambas, & Serna Ospina, 2019; Kralik, Jasek, & Zacek, 2018;Leyva Ferreiro, 2018;Sablón Cossío et al, 2018). The determination of the weights is based on a pair wise comparison between subelements (Kralik et al, 2018;Stejskal, Kuvíková, & Meričková, 2018) where the most significant sub-element is awarded one point. The points awarded to the criteria are added together and the sums represent their weighting factors (Agarski, Hadzistevic, Budak, Moraca, & Vukelic, 2019;Ondrejka Harbulakova, Zelenakova, Purcz, & Olejnik, 2018;Stejskal et al, 2018).…”

This study empirically examines the non-financial factors approach to making investment decisions and supports this significant activity in the context of SMEs, based on 16 investment projects and a proposal for a new way to manage non-financial factors. For small and medium-sized enterprises, focusing on non-financial factors in investment decision-making might identify fewer tangible advantages than in financial analysis, but there is not enough information on such factors. That is why the objective of this research is to propose a way to make investment decisions by paying attention to non-financial indicators. This study produces three basic findings. First, nonfinancial measures are widely used in capital budgeting, but nonfinancial measures appear to serve as a partial substitute when there is a lack of information or knowledge to develop other techniques, mainly in the context of SMEs. Second, a proposal method to analyze non-financial factors facilitates a decision to accept or reject an investment project. Third, entrepreneurs very often make blind decisions regarding the investments they should make, either due to a lack of time, information, or knowledge to do so. The way of analyzing the potential impact of investment projects generates the opportunity to position them based on two dimensions that emerge from the combination of the nonfinancial factors used. Additionally, the present study succeeds in presenting and evaluating 16 investment projects, pointing to those that can have a better impact on businesses.

“…The concept of the RIS, which emerged in the 1990 s, proves that the regional dimension is crucial for innovation systems [Asheim, Gertler, 2009;Cooke, Boekholt, Tödtling, 1999;Doloreux, Parto, 2005;Sternberg, 2007]. According to many studies related to innovation systems, regions are considered to be key to the effective performance of innovation systems for three reasons: first, they differ in their industrial specialisation and innovation position [Paci, Usai, 2000]; second, knowledge spillovers are usually geographically bounded [Asheim, Coenen, 2005;Stejskal, Hajek, 2015]; and third, tacit knowledge is important for innovation processes [Gertler, 2003;Howells, 2002;Stejskal, Kuvíková, Meričková, 2018].…”

“…The results showed strong differences in regions being assessed what is reflected in their economic performance and competitiveness differences. Stejskal et al (2018) created a new method for assessing regional innovation systems and applied it to individual regions in the Czech Republic. The advantage of the method is that it can be easily used practically to map the development of individual innovative systems in a region.…”

The development of innovation activities is of great importance on the path to achieving the goals of sustainable development. Success on this path is closely related to the presence of comparable information on the development of innovation activities at the regional level. The aim of the paper is to assess the development of innovation activities in the regions of Ukraine and identify differences in results. The study is performed using relative indicators for the assessment of the development of innovation activities in the regions of Ukraine. The indicators were averaged and normalized. To analyze how innovation activities change over time, the dynamic indices based on the geometric mean of the growth rate of the relative indicators were used. The obtained results have significant differences in the regions being assessed. Most regions have a heterogeneous development of innovation activities. At the same time, they are at the top and bottom of the rankings of the regions in different indicators of the development of innovation activities. Only Cherkasy and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are at the top of the rankings in at least 75% of indicators. However, in 2017‒2019, all indicators improved in at least 29% of regions. In addition, 75% of indicators improved in at least 54% of regions. Therefore, over time, most regions progressed in the development of innovation activities. Management decisions for the development of innovation activities should be complex for all regions and implemented primarily in the regions where there is no improvement over time. AcknowledgmentsThe paper is prepared within the scientific research project “Sustainable development and resource security: from disruptive technologies to digital transformation of Ukrainian economy” (No. 0121U100470).
