“…Therefore the both null hypotheses cannot be rejected. Nevertheless there must be taken into account the results of similar surveys focused on whether innovative culture in organisations directly influences the economic success of organisations and whether innovative strategy is a factor that determines competitiveness (Martín- Republic where dependency between innovation culture and sector of the economy was proven, and also the research of Zemplinerová (2010) where the dependency between innovation culture and both size and sector of the organisation was proven. These results indicate, that dependencies between innovation culture and both sector and size of organisation may still be expected.…”

“…It is therefore possible to summarise that according to these definitions innovations do not cover only technical and technological changes and improvements, but in particular practical application and particularly originates from research. Human capital and creative research work are according to Zemplinerová (2010) and AutantBernard (2001) considered the most important determinants of innovation. Adair (2004) states that any innovative organisation should have a bucketful of ideas.…”

“…This creates competition that does not attack profit margins or the outputs of existing organisations, but their essence and their existence as such. With respect to the above said it is important -within the frame of innovations -that are a necessity in today's knowledge, information and innovative society -to follow large organisations that engage in innovation and set the direction for others (Zemplinerová, 2010). The present concept of innovations is that they represent an open approach that reaches beyond the threshold of an organisation and thus exploits not only inspections and changes in the internal environment, but also changes in the external environment.…”

In today's highly competitive environment the goal of each organisation is to defeat competition and win new customers. Individuals who are holders of knowledge represent a tool for the generation of innovations. Thanks to their personal creativity, their knowledge, skills and abilities it is possible to generate new innovative ideas that will help organisations to achieve a competitive advantage. The aim of the article is to present the findings of a survey targeted at innovations and to identify knowledge as an important element in the process of innovations. Primary data were obtained through a questionnaire survey carried out in organisations in the Czech Republic and evaluated using the tools of descriptive statistics and also the methods of comparison, induction, deduction and synthesis were applied. One of the conclusions of the article is that organisations find it important to innovate and support an innovative culture. Knowledge too is very significant in the innovation process since it represents not only important input, but also output of the transformation process.

“…According to Zemplinerová (2010) to acquire a predominantly market share needs to be a fund budget for research, development and introduction of innovation Autant-Bernard et al (2013) argue the organization must have an original strategy and support the development of knowledge from and to the organization. It can be concluded that organizational innovation has a significant effect on the competitiveness of the company.…”

This article describes the situation and potential of SMEs in East Java Indonesia. Small and medium enterprises are essential to support the economic progress of a country. By using descriptive analysis and multiple regression then generated mapping. Mapping the characteristics and competitiveness of SMEs is done as a basis for gap analysis. If the current condition of Indonesian SMEs is known, benchmarking can be done by comparing ideal conditions or targets to be achieved in the face of global competition. The mapping generated from this research is expected to provide an overall picture of SMEs in disrict of Jember, Bondosowo, Situbondo and Banyuwangi, East Java Province, Indonesia, so that it can assist government and business actors in determining business strategies and policies. This study found the variables that significantly affect the competitive position are innovation ability, quality focus, customer loyalty, response to change, price advantage and marketing power. While the insignificant membership of the cooperative, it does not have a significant role for the creation of a strong competitive position. This is supported by the fact that most of the SMEs in eastern Java are not members of the cooperative. Similarly, business status with legal status and not and the use of intermediary traders is not a thing that affects the strength of competitive position. Info Article

“…Due to the highly competitive environment of the business world, the goal of an informal micro-enterprise is to defeat competition and fulfill needs and wants of the customer (Moriah, 2010), and outperform competitors as mentioned by Porter (1985). There are various studies that support the idea of innovation as a business competitive advantage enabler, for example, technological innovations and competitive advantage (Martín-de Castro et al, 2013), development and introduction of innovations (Zemplinerová, 2010), regional innovation (Noruzy et. al., 2012;Autant-Bernard, Fadairo, & Massard, 2013), and capability of innovation (Martín-de et.…”

Abstract. Previous studies on socioeconomic development have examined the effect of development initiatives (i.e., access to finance and training) on several socioeconomic indicators (i.e., income, empowerment, asset, quality of life, employment). These studies have focused mostly on the outcomes of specific types of programs offered by specific development organizations. This study however focuses on informal women micro-entrepreneurs' participation in various development programs available to them and their influence on entrepreneurial competencies, human capital development, competitive advantages, economic vulnerability, supportive environment, and performance of micro-enterprises. This cross-sectional study adopted the purposive random sampling method and collected data from 384 informal women entrepreneurs from the local markets in different districts of Kelantan, Malaysia. The findings show that the development program participants have relatively higher levels of entrepreneurial competencies, human capital development, and higher levels of enterprise performance compared to non-participants. It is also noted that the level of economic vulnerability is relatively low among participants compared to non-participants. However, these findings contradict most of the earlier studies 293that show a significant positive impact of micro-credit on socio-economic wellbeing, as the difference in entrepreneurial competencies, human capital development, economic vulnerability, and performance of micro-enterprises among participants and non-participants in this study is not statistically significant. However, findings reported significantly higher levels of competitive advantages, and better supportive environment among the participants compared to the non-participants. Development organizations should therefore focus on expanding their outreach to spread the positive effects of their development programs towards uplifting the economic condition of low and middle-income households in Malaysia.
