| Summary: | Investment in R&D today is an essential condition for the economic development of
companies, industry as a whole and countries and regions. On the other hand, the financial
capacity of economic operators is limited and it is important to know the benefits of these
investments. In this context, the problem of their effectiveness is of particular importance.
An adequate picture is provided by the analysis of the overall R&D process and its
components – the impact on the creation of new knowledge; the impact of the new knowledge
expressed in patents on the investment; the impact of innovation on the country’s economic
development. The study highlighted the following patterns: The developed countries of the
European Union are characterised by higher R&D investment compared to developing
countries, a significantly higher number of patent applications and the higher Global
innovation index values. A different picture is with the effectiveness of R&D investment.
Both patents and the entire investment processes are more efficient in the developing
countries. This is due to a significant increase in patent sales in developed countries, a more
decentralized innovation policy, i.e. significantly higher exports to other countries. All this
distorts the picture of the actual effectiveness of R&D investments. |
