“…The study has accomplished on data collected from OIC countries and the results have indicated that value chain presence positively influenced on knowledge economy index and knowledge index when the level of significance was five percent.

“…Start-up companies can be one of the tools for creating entrepreneurial attitudes. Start-up companies are competent in creating new ideas and knowledge (Bajzikova et al, 2014).

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to check how students understand cooperation, which is very important in the contemporary market functioning. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper presents a review of literature devoted to the concept of cooperation, co-opetition, and networking and a review of literature and research demonstrating the role of universities in economic development. To find out how students understand the concept of cooperation, co-opetition, and networking, a survey was conducted among university students in selected European regions. This paper uses the example of the University of Applied Sciences case study in Nysa, in Opolskie Voivodeship in Poland. Findings: The earlier conducted research among cluster managers demonstrates that one of the main reasons for the collapse of clusters is mental barriers. In many cases, members of cluster initiatives do not understand cooperation and co-opetition when joining them. They expect additional benefits, but without their own engagement and acquiring the skill of cooperation. Depopulation and migration processes in some regions are a big problem for the regional market. In subject literature, it is stressed that strong clusters can support regional development, which is particularly important in the case of small and weak regions in terms of endogenous factors. Practical Implications: Each year, university graduates enter the labor market, and in the future, some of them will be members of various business networks, including cluster networks. Through a survey study, it attempted to verify how students understand the concept of cooperation and clustering. Originality/value: This article illustrates how the learning process can be focused on finding solutions about strengthening knowledge and competencies for cooperation.

“…However, given the dynamism of the current environment and the trend of globalisation and internationalisation, innovation is now a necessity for the survival of all businesses. Innovation therefore cannot be seen as in the definition of voluntary enhancement of products, services, marketing, technology or processes, but as a necessary part of organisational dynamics (Bajzikova, Sajgalikova, Wojcak & Polakova, 2014; Figure 1. Innovation process according to Koen (Koen et al, 2002) Authors lay great emphasis on this stage, because quantity, quality and effective idea management ideas affect all other phases of the innovation process.…”

Changes in the business environment, caused by the transition to a knowledge economy, highlight the importance ofinnovation in enterprises. Innovation is not considered solely in terms of technology and investment in research anddevelopment, but also in business processes, services and strategies. Development perspectives on innovation and itspresent shape best describe the transition from a closed to an open innovation model. Open innovation is mainly used inlarge enterprises, given their existing relationships with external entities. SMEs, on the other hand show distrust in sharin gknowledge and know-how, because of the potential abuse by competi tors. This paper focuses on the characteristics ofinnovative businesses, with a comparative analysis of innovative enterprises and those that only consider themselves asinnovative. The study also indicates the different understanding of the notion of innovation between those that see thestrategic importance of innovation and those that do not.Keywords: Innovation, open innovation, determinants of innovation.
