Skłonność do innowacji a system ekonomiczny

Abstract

Upon ascertaining that there is no demand in economy for innovations the author analyses relations between propensity to innovations in enterprises and the adopted principles of functioning of the economy. The work quotes basic notions contributing to the contents of the external conditions of managing. It is indicated that unfortunate solutions concerning prices, profits and taxation are suppressing the innovational dynamics. Prices which are directly based on cost calculation in the production and accepting only it are the main reason for a slight interest in innovations. In that way there are no conditions to make money on innovations. There is no high surplus of effect over input. An important role in those shortcomings is played by the fact of understanding economy as a one giant multi-plant enterprise within which there are no conditions for optimalizing decisions coming from the ranks of the workers. The author points out at the obstacles present at this stage of the economic reform in Poland. These are: a) no changes in institutional structure in Poland and in functions of the central organs, b) the said misconceptions in price and profit interpretations, c) the pressure of egalitarian tendencies in payments.
