Výzkum, vývoj a inovace v EU: přelévání znalostí a vliv tohoto procesu na tvorbu inovací

Jana Nováková

V oblasti výzkumu, vývoje a inovací EU stále zaostává za USA a Japonskem a relativní význam Evropy začíná být v tomto směru oslabován také na úkor některých rozvojových zemí. Mezi členskými státy i jednotlivými regiony EU existují rozdíly ve tvorbě inovací. Důležitou roli při tvorbě inovací hrají nekodifikovatelné znalosti, které lze obtížně vyjádřit a přenést. Při vysvětlování regionálních rozdílů ve tvorbě inovací se poukazuje na existenci procesu přelévání znalostí a důležitost vhodného institucionálního prostředí. Cílem tohoto článku je popsat současnou situaci v oblasti výzkumu, vývoje a inovací v EU a zhodnotit vliv přelévání znalostí na tvorbu inovací v Evropské unii.

Keywords: Výzkum a vývoj, tvorba inovací, přelévání znalostí, Evropská unie

Research, development and innovations in the EU: knowledge spillover and its effect on the process of innovation creation

EU is still lagging behind the USA and Japan in research, development and innovations and the relative importance of Europe in this field is getting weakened also by some developing countries. There are differences in innovation creation betweeen EU member states and particular regions. Tacit knowledge plays an important role in the process of innovation creation although this type of knowledge is not easily expressed or transmitted. The existence of process of knowledge spillover and appropriate institutional framework is emphasized while explaining regional differences in innovation creation. The aim of this article is to describe current situation in research and development and innovations in the EU and review the effect of knowledge spillover on innovation creation in the European Union.

Keywords: Research and development, innovation creation, knowledge spillover, European Union
