Innovation Excellence in Central and Eastern Europe by Mike Kubena,Mark Okes-Voysey,Andrej Vizjak Pdf

Innovation is high on the executive agenda in virtually every industry because companies can no longer develop markets and access them without innovation. Dues to the dynamics of over a billion new customers, mostly in emerging markets, radical new technologies and science and global connectivity, our decade will be the ‘most innovative time’ since the industrial revolution. There is no time to lose as the increasing democratic standards in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the ongoing globalization have already led to a new wave of M&A activities. The main question is: What must an enterprise do to stay in the market and even become more successful? Imitation and adaptation are only a possibility in the short run for a special type of company. Finally, Central and Eastern European countries face the challenge of not only responding to developments initiated elsewhere, but also of playing a more active and creative role in initiating change. Through this book, PwC CEE will show you that innovation success is possible. Just do it!

Challenges for European Innovation Policy by Slavo Radosevic,Anna Kaderabkova Pdf

This book uniquely applies the Schumpeterian innovation policy perspective to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). A broadly defined framework of the science, technology, innovation and growth system underpins the empirical and conceptual analysis of the critical issues including demand, FDI, finance and education. Specifically, the expert contributors address the (in)capacity of CEE to play a more significant role in the knowledge-based competitiveness of the EU. They question whether it is possible to bolster this capacity with innovationtechnology- industry-specific policies, and discuss the changes required at EU and individual country levels to remove sector- and industry-specific obstacles to greater competitiveness based on innovation. Policies are analysed from the perspective of growth, and the conclusions drawn are relevant to education, the labour market and competition policy. This highly original, explicit and systematic study will prove an illuminating read for academics, researchers, students and policy makers focusing on a range of areas including economics, heterodox economics, European studies, technology and innovation.

Local Innovations for Growth in Central and Eastern Europe by Sylvain Giguère Pdf

Local development strategies represent an important response to the challenges of globalization, while providing a mechanism for seizing the new opportunities that globalization offers. Nearly two decades after the fall of the Berlin wall, this book evaluates progress made and identifies what needs to be done to speed up the drive towards prosperity in Central and Eastern Europe. It demonstrates that the success of local development strategies depends on the capacity of the government and its partners to accelerate change within the policy and governance aspects of economic and social development.--Publisher's description.

Knowledge Spillovers in Regional Innovation Systems by Jan Stejskal,Petr Hajek,Oto Hudec Pdf

This book provides an assessment of the evolution and dynamics of regional innovation systems (RISs) and the economic and social impact of resulting knowledge spillovers, presenting comparative case studies on the regions of several Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Lithuania and Estonia). It analyses RISs on the basis of several dimensions, such as absorption capacity and intellectual capital, and using several methods such as data envelopment analysis, patent network analysis, and weighted sum approach. Further, by looking at the economic and social impact of knowledge spillovers in RISs and networking, it identifies key distinguishing factors, including foreign direct investments, still prevalent centralized decision-making, EU-driven innovation policies and public financing of innovations. Sectoral case studies, e.g. from the automobile, chemical and other hi-tech manufacturing industries, are presented to help readers understand the different types of knowledge spillovers in CEE countries and the evolution and dynamics of RISs, and provide a multifaceted overview of the CEE regions.

Small Firms and Entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe by Oliver Pfirrmann,Günter H. Walter Pdf

Much of the research on transformation/transition in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) focuses on macroeconomic issues (inflation, economic growth, employment ...). Little research has been devoted so far to microeconomic analysis. Recently the issue of new enterprises and firm founders has moved to the centre of economic and policy considerations. Readers of this book will learn about the role played by these firms in the transformation of central and eastern European countries. The book also includes contributions from Central and Eastern Europe on which little or no investigation has been performed until now (Yugoslavia, Romania, Slovakia).
