Pro-innovative Prerequisites for Establishing the Cooperation between Companies (in the Perspective of Creation and Development of Clusters)

摘要

The aim of the analysis carried out in this text was to identify the level of cooperation in the surveyed companies with the competition in the area of innovative activities as well as their readiness to strengthen it in the near future. Quantitative studies covered 381 companies. To interpret the results of the research, the following statistical measures were used: measures of dispersion-the coefficient of variation and measures of central tendency-dominant, mean, and median. There were no statistically significant differences in the assessments of respondents operating in three different industry sectors. It should be firmly stressed that the mere creation of a cluster does not release its innovative potential.
