“…However, the lack of financing or unfinanced support of commercialising the innovative products concerning their market testing (Portugal) or permanent economic or financial crises (Greece) do not contribute to the implementation of innovation activities (Koperek, and Koperek, 2018;Sporek, 2013). In general, the relatively low innovation activities in Polish companies are caused by the lack of funds on research and development or the lack of appropriate competences of management staff and at the same time high costs to prepare and implement innovation activities (Sopińska, and Wachowiak, 2016;Różański, 2020). It has a negative influence on taking innovation activities by companies and the low level of management infrastructure modernisation causes that Poland is still not regarded as innovative economy.…”

The paper provides a theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial ecosystems with strong focus on start-up ecosystem. The empirical purpose of the study is to identify the key actors, institutions and organisations which can provide a nurturing environment and services for the creation of the start-up ecosystem of the city of Poznań with regard to business-sciencegovernment collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: The research applies the method of in-depth semi-structured direct interview with experts in the field of support services to potential founders and start-ups with academic origin, the case study method, participatory observation, and reflection. The explorative qualitative study uses both descriptive and explanatory techniques. Findings: The research findings provide insight in the real nature of the local start-up ecosystem presenting its key stakeholders, the scope of their support and ways of creating a conducive environment for potential founders and start-ups. The research results highlight the importance of studying the interdependencies among key actors in the start-up ecosystem in order to provide them with necessary resources and to stimulate the synergy effect. Research limitations/implications: Research limitations resulting from the analysis of a purposefully-selected case of the start-up ecosystem do not allow formulating general conclusions. Nevertheless, it illustrates a real business practice and challenges of the development of the specific entrepreneurial ecosystem. Future research line will concern an in-depth analysis of the most critical obstacles in the process of start-up creation as well as the assessment of the interdependencies among the key stakeholders of the start-up ecosystem to look for more effective cooperation. Practical implications: The synthesis of the current reflections on entrepreneurial ecosystems and the research findings reflected here can benefit both employees of business incubators, researchers, and entrepreneurship teachers and become an inspiration for further analysis and extended research on problems associated with increasing the efficiency and sustainability of local start-up ecosystems and the need to build valuable relationships with key stakeholders. Originality/value: The originality of the conducted exploratory research lies in presenting the real business practice and challenges of the development of the specific entrepreneurial ecosystem, and thus contribute to the discussion on the dilemmas associated with conducting the more effective practice-oriented research on start-up ecosystems.

The development of product innovations in small and medium enterprises is determined mainly by their financial capabilities. These enterprises usually encounter financial problems when it comes to the introduction of product innovations. Therefore, managers should manage the company’s finances in the way that will enable them using all available means to solve these problems. This means that they ought to use external financial resources to a greater extent (not only in the form of loans). The article focuses on the financial conditions for the development of product innovations in small and medium enterprises, while other forms of innovation are omitted. Product innovations are given the highest priority by mentioned companies. The analysis covered the years 2010-2017. The case study allowed to present changes in this most important form of activity for enterprises in the SME sector during the analyzed period For the purpose of this paper, large companies have also been included in the study in order to extend the comparative base. . In the article there were used data published by GUS, NBP, PARP, Eurostat. The article presents the following thesis: The innovative activity of Polish enterprises takes mainly the character of product innovations, which often require large financial outlays. Two hypotheses were used to verify the thesis: HPT1: The increase in the outlays of enterprises on technical progress and on research and development works (R&D) leads to companies' own the development of product innovations. HPT2: The resources are the main source of financing for product investments. Due to the greater capacity of large companies to spend on R&D, they are more active in product innovation than small companies, whose financial resources are significantly limited. Broader implementation of product innovations in SMEs requires wider access to finance and greater involvement of many participants. In order to be able to take advantage of all possible opportunities to renew the production programme, the company should ensure appropriate internal and external integration in the management of the process.

The paper identifies the level of innovativeness of the Polish economy against the background of selected European countries and determines the conditions and change tendencies in this respect. It is of particular importance to designate the SII components that are of high significance to determine the levels of innovativeness. A research hypothesis was posited as well: The causes of low innovativeness in Poland are varied and multidimensional. More spending on research and development should be the starting point for its improvement.The theoretical section follows a thorough review of leading specialist literature, while the empirical part uses the Summary Innovation Index (SII), published in the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) report. It is used to measure the innovativeness of European countries. Additionally, some selected methods of numerical data analysis were used in order to verify the research hypothesis.The fostering of R&D will be of paramount importance to the future development of Poland; however, given the huge differences in research and development spending by enterprises in the innovation leaders, Poland’s position will not improve soon.National authorities can use the results as guidelines on the Polish economy’s innovativeness growth factors. They also will give information what actions need to be taken to improve the situation.The cognitive value of the paper consists in studying the causes of the innovativeness distance of the Polish economy with reference to selected, not all countries (the latter comparison is the object of a prevailing majority of the relevant literature). This approach will provide a clearer evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of Poland’s innovation system. It will allow for giving some recommendations for innovativeness level improvement.
