“…The research's focus is at least on new enterprises' products and innovation processes. The findings demonstrate that although the high-technology system has a higher level of product and process innovation, businesses in the low, medium, and low-technology sectors are better supported by business support groups and general finance instruments (Dzikowski, 2022).…”

This article sets out the findings of a systematic review of the research literature on the relationship between industrial competitiveness and new product development in the industrial sector. The review is important since it originates from growing industrial competitiveness in generating new industrial products and achieving benefits for customers, which helps society and creates economic success for the development of a country. The method of a systematic literature review of past studies was adopted. The importance of industrial competition originates from its importance in pushing and urging the owners of industrial enterprises and factories to enhance their industrial products. The findings support the view that manufacturers always and continuously aim to create and maintain a competitive position in the market to maximize their earnings and expand their market share. This interest was also reflected in the research and innovation of factories to produce new industrial products, innovate new technologies in manufacturing items, and elevate their standards to the best. All the articles emphasize a strong relationship between new product development and industrial competitiveness in the industrial sector, which are significant to the growth of the economy.

Research background: Innovation is an important determinant of economic development, and its importance is growing with the advancement of digitization and the development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In turn, the assessment of the innovativeness of a country’s economy affects its investment attractiveness and international image. Purpose of this study: Given the factors presented above, the main aim of this study is to explore and compare the innovativeness of European economies in the context of the modified European Innovation Scoreboard. Methods: To achieve this goal, the authors propose two key modifications of the existing innovation assessment methodology contained in the European Innovation Scoreboard. The first concerns the principles of the normalization of assessment indicators and aims to eliminate extreme assessment values. The second proposes to remove the indicators which are difficult to measure, subjective, and not always useful: (1) those related to sustainable development (resource productivity; emissions of fine particulates; and environment-related technologies) and (2) those that take into account only small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs introducing product innovations; SMEs introducing business process innovations; and innovative SMEs collaborating with others). Findings & value added: An alternative approach to assessing the innovativeness of the analyzed countries — as proposed by the authors — resulted in changes in the ranking of countries in relation to the European Innovation Scoreboard, but the changes were not significant. The major changes concerned Serbia (down four places), Belgium (down two places), Hungary (up three places), and Poland (up two places). In addition, five countries moved up one place in the ranking (the UK, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Estonia, Slovenia, Spain, and Slovakia), and five lost one place in the ranking (Norway, Italy, Portugal, Greece, and Croatia). Thirteen countries had no changes. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that the countries with the best and the worst innovativeness maintained the assessment level regardless of changes in the methodology of its implementation. The objectification of rules had the strongest impact on the countries in the middle of the ranking. This study draws attention to the problem of the subjectivity of the innovation rankings. It has also been documented that modifying the selection of evaluation criteria may change the final position in the ranking, which, in the case of emerging and developing economies, may affect investor assessment and economic growth opportunities. Such considerations are important because they are outside the often uncritical mainstream approach to the assessment of the innovativeness of economies. The conclusions imply the need for a multisource analysis of innovation and a critical look at the proposed methodologies.

Over the past three decades, an exponentially growing body on elements and actors of the concept of an entrepreneurial university has emerged. Compared to its western European counterparts, however, the idea of the third role of the university has only recently been implemented in Central and Eastern European countries, and thus both research and entrepreneurial practice grapple with empirical results. In this paper, we attempt to fill this gap while adopting a case study approach to examine the issue of what resources a prominent technical university operating in the emerging market of the Czech Republic transfers to academic ventures to utilise and commercialise university research results. Within a survey, nine academic founders and two university representatives were interviewed to assess the role of university resources in facilitating academic entrepreneurship. Our research results suggest that creating infrastructure to foster the third role of universities in an emerging market is a complex and long-term issue. Formal institutions embedded in the intra-university organisational structure, such as knowledge transfer offices and entrepreneurial centres, need to be equipped with sufficient resources and competences. Skilled people with their own network of contacts to intra-university departments and external environment represented by regional incubators, venture capital providers, business angel associations, and experienced entrepreneurs should be involved in the process of creating and increasing capacity. Furthermore, the upcoming agenda should undoubtedly acknowledge the significant role of entrepreneurship education with a focus on talent recognition and entrepreneurship training to impact the entrepreneurial intentions of researchers and students. Overall, we also conclude that the motivation of academics to commercialise their inventions could be positively affected by the applied concepts of assessing their performance. Finally, this study shows that measures at all management levels have to be adopted to create a vital organisational culture that will be in alignment with the vision of entrepreneurial university. The novelty of this paper is twofold. First, the study provides a useful methodological concept of data collection as the multi-level approach was applied for studying the phenomenon of entrepreneurial university. Furthermore, the research findings have valuable implications for university authorities, as well as national and local policy makers, in creating growth programmes and supporting the entrepreneurial mindset.
