Typology of the European Union Countries in Terms of Barriers Hampering Innovation Activities – the Perspective of Innovative Enterprises
Abstract
The enterprises undertaking innovation activities in the European Union countries operate in a
diverse environment, not always friendly to innovation processes. They are influenced by a number
of internal and external factors constituting barriers for the implementation of innovations. As a result
of diverse conditions for the development of innovation in the EU countries, the individual barriers to
innovation processes may be of different significance for enterprises. The first part of the study
presents an overview of the subject literature output focused on the systematics of key factors
hampering or preventing the activities aimed at the implementation of innovation (e.g. deterrent and
disclosed barriers, internal and external and also economic, knowledge-related, market and
institutional ones). The second part discusses the results of empirical research focused on verifying
the adopted hypothesis – the key barriers to innovation activities of enterprises in the EU countries
create cost factors and their disclosure, along with other barriers, results in the interruption of
innovation processes in their implementation phase (high intensity of obstacles to innovation
activities is manifested in low values of the aggregate innovation indicator). The European
Innovation Scoreboard data and the research results covering innovative enterprises as part of the last
edition of the Community Innovation Survey constituted the information basis of the conducted
analyses. The research used multi-dimensional statistical analysis methods, with particular emphasis
on the classification methods.
