The development of innovation is currently one of the key production factors in developed economies.
In recent years, developed economies have created many technological, process, product, service, marketing, ecological, material and other innovations.
In some countries cooperation programs for research and R & D centers with enterprises are being developed to activate entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities.
Because in developed countries information, innovations, new technologies and entrepreneurship are considered as one of the most important factors of the country's economic development and, as a consequence, also economic growth measured, for example, by the Gross Domestic Product in subsequent years.
In addition, research and implementation works are conducted in these themes, which further underline the high level of significance of innovation, new technologies and entrepreneurship in contemporary national economies.
Clusters are created within which enterprises undertake cooperation with other business entities, with scientific, research and implementation centers, universities, public sector institutions to exchange experiences, transfer knowledge, run and develop joint research and implementation projects, including innovative technological and process solutions , research, organizational and other.
However, in order to be able to objectively verify the effectiveness of these programs to activate the level of innovation, it is necessary to periodically perform a precise measurement of changes in the level of innovation in geographical, local, national, in relation to individual departments, sectors of the national economy or by examining specific types of business entities, companies and corporations.
Because innovation is determinant of economic development of a qualitative nature, it is difficult to measure.
In connection with the above, I would like to ask you the following question: How is the level of innovation most often measured in your country?
Are they carried out periodically, eg surveys among management, among managers of companies and corporations, or other methods, are periodical changes in the level of innovation in specific types of business entities or in individual sectors of the national economy?
Do you have specific quantitative measures developed that can be helpful in measuring innovation?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
