Innovation capital regarded as an element of intellectual capital reflects the ability of an organization to create and commercialize the new knowledge (innovations). The aim of this study is twofold. Firstly, an attempt is made to give a concise review of innovation capital concept and its measures in selected intellectual capital – IC –models. Secondly, this paper sets out to extend the current models and introduce a new valuation method of innovation capital. Moreover, the paper provides empirical evidence about the use of the proposed method.

This article presents some findings of an analysis of innovation input - output relationship in EU member states. The first section of the paper considers the role of innovation in economic growth with particular attention to the new endogenous growth models. In the second part, the dichotomous approach to innovation and its measures is presented. The last section contains the methodology and outcome of research. The results of the study show that R&D expenditures, ICT and human capital are the key innovation inputs that affect such innovation outputs as innovation and patent propensity and new-to-market sales.

Prezentowany artykuł przedstawia wyniki analizy powiązań nakładów i efektów działalności innowacyjnej w krajach UE. W pierwszej części opracowania przedstawiono rolę innowacji w kreowaniu wzrostu gospodarczego ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem nowych modeli wzrostu endogenicznego. W drugiej części pracy scharakteryzowano pojęcie i mierniki innowacji w ujęciu dwuwymiarowym. Ostatnia część artykułu prezentuje metodykę i wyniki badania. Zgodnie z nimi wydatki na BiR, technologie informacyjno komunikacyjne oraz kapitał ludzki, traktowane jako wkład w proces innowacyjny, mają istotny wpływ na wyniki działalności innowacyjnej, w szczególności na skłonność do innowacji i patentowania oraz przychody ze sprzedaży nowych produktów.

Kapitał ludzki składa się z wiedzy, umiejętności i kompetencji wrodzonych lub nabytych przez pracowników pracujących w organizacjach. W niniejszym artykule poruszono tematykę dotyczącą wpływu kapitału ludzkiego na decyzje lokalizacyjne przedsiębiorstw z sektora BPO/SSC. Autorzy w skupili się na dwóch głównych komponentach kapitału ludzkiego, tj. umiejętnościach miękkich i twardych, które są kluczowymi czynnikami lokalizacyjnymi dla przedsiębiorstw z sektora BPO/SSC. Instrumentem badawczym był kwestionariusz zawierający pytania dotyczące czynników lokalizacyjnych przedsiębiorstw z sektora BPO/SSC. Próba badawcza składała się z 58 przedsiębiorstw. Do przeprowadzenia analiz wykorzystano analizę głównych składników i regresję liniową. Z ustaleń autorów wynika, że tylko umiejętności miękkie mają wpływ na wybór lokalizacji przez firmy offshoringowe.

Human capital consists of knowledge, skills, and competences innate or acquired by employees working in the organization. This article deals with the issue of the effect of human capital on the location decisions of enterprises from the BPO/SSC sector. We focused on two main components of human capital, i.e., soft skills and hard skills, which are crucial location factors for the BPO/SSC enterprises. The research instrument was the questionnaire containing questions regarding location factors of enterprises from the BPO/SSC sector. The research sample consisted of 58 enterprises. The principal component analysis and the linear regression were used to conduct analyses. Our findings show that only soft skills have the impact on the choice of location by offshoring companies.

Research background: Total factor productivity (TFP) determines how efficiently and intensely the available inputs are used and combined in production process. Improvement of TFP performance requires identification of its determinants, thus enabling policy actions to focus on them. Since the ability to create and absorb innovation is considered as a crucial factor of economic development, the investigation of the impact of the level of regional innovative performance on TFP distribution across EU regions is an important research problem. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is twofold. Firstly, we attempt to develop a theoretical framework for the analysis of the impact of innovation on TFP. Secondly, we assess TFP levels for regions in the EU and investigate whether innovations account for the observed regional disparities in TFP. Methods: The research sample consists of 202 European Union (EU) regions at NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 level from 22 countries. The regional data on GDP, employment and gross fixed capital formation come from the Eurostat. The source of data on the level of innovativeness of European regions is the Regional Innovation Scoreboard. To calculate TFP, we use the multiplicatively-complete Färe-Primont index. In turn, to examine the impact of innovation on TFP, we employ the spatially-lagged X model. Findings & Value added: Our findings show a high degree of dispersion in TFP across EU regions. We find a positive impact of regional innovation performance on TFP. Although theoretical papers on economic development and regional economics suggest that improvements in TFP are key to regional economic performance, and that innovations are crucial to gain such productivity effects, there is a dearth of empirical studies on the link between innovation and TFP at the regional level. Therefore, our paper attempts to fill this gap by providing the evidence of positive effect of innovation externalities on TFP in European regions.

Purpose – The aim of the paper was to assess the relationship between public R&D expenditures and business R&D investments in EU regions.Design/Methodology/Approach – The data for the analysis were retrieved from the Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) 2016. The generalized structural equation model – GSEM was adopted to verify the formulated hypothesis. The research sample covered 214 regions of 22 EU Member States and Norway. Findings – The results of research indicate that public R&D are additional to business R&D investments in EU regions. Moreover, innovative productivity is positively related to public financial support for R&D.Originality/Value – So far, most of the available empirical literature has focused on the relationship between public financial support policies for R&D activities and business R&D expenditures either at the macro or micro level. The present paper attempts to fill this gap by providing an insight into this matter at the regional level. Article type – Research paper.
