Against innovation decline – new report of EISIE

Posted by admin

The diagnosis presented in the report concerns the causes and effects of innovation decline in Poland. A number of examples of the best world approaches and practices are described regarding innovation and science policies and management.

Four broad topics are covered by the recent report the European Institute of Social Industrial Engineering:

  • Cultural, ideological and political barriers to innovation in Poland,
  • Practice of business-science collaboration,
  • Governance of research establishments and financing science,
  • The issues of enterprises’ innovation.

The diagnosis included in first three parts of the report concerns the causes and effects of innovation decline in Poland. It is presented together with a number of examples of the best world approaches and practices regarding innovation and science policies and management. Fourth part is the review of the state-of-the-art research on innovation process. The report is supplemented with a discussion of some issues of the measurement of innovation in public and international statistics of innovation.

The report, titled „The practice of innovation and collaboration of enterprises in Poland with science”, has been completed at the request of The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR), and submitted at the end of March, 2008. It will be presented soon to the public debate, once the accompanying works on specific measures to foster applied research in Poland are finished.

The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) is a government funded agency. It was established in July 2007 to implement priority tasks in the field of Polish scientific and innovative policy and is a unique state agency to perform public tasks in that area.

The report (in Polish) is enclosed below.

Institution

Founded by three individuals in November, 2006, EISIE is a networking professional body devoted to the application of proven knowledge, standards and best practices in business organisations, public sector and communities. Our research and consulting cover a wide range of topics of productivity improvement, risk management, knowledge acquisition and communication, and efficient social policies. EISIE is entirely independent and therefore it is unlikely to find quick fixes or buzz words here. Instead, there are a lot of basic principles and proven methods in the roots of our research and engineering works, no matter if concerned with business processes, state-of-the-art semantic technologies or reducing unemployment. Actually, EISIE is under organisation. Future authorities will consist of the Board of Trustees and the Science Board. The Board of Trustees will oversee governance and the legal and financial status of the Institute. The Science Board will be responsible for the quality and direction of our research, consulting and engineering works.
