Inovace v podnikatelském sektoru / Innovation and Bussines sector in the Czech Republic

My investigations based on wide cross-section analysis of 5128 firms in Czech Republic (1998-2006) present some evidence of their behaviour in field of innovations. Business sector relationship to technological change is characterized by following findings (ceteris paribus): 1) Size of a firm (given by capital, employees and total sales) has ambiguous relation to total number of R&D workers. 2) There is negative relationship between concentration and number of R&D workers. 3) Competition is positively associated with intensive using of intellectual property rights (given by intangible assets). 4) Benefits of in-house R&D that is represented by total number of R&D workers come with multiplicative relation towards total sales. 5) Companies owned by foreigners substantially contribute to total R&D activity in Czech Republic and there is some evidence of technological transfer.
