Abstract

DOI: 10.14254/2071789X.2021/14-2/12 ABSTRACT. The subject of the article was derived from the learning region theory. The assumption was made that through cooperation of various entities conditions are created conducive to the development of knowledge, entrepreneurship and innovation in regions. The objective is to present the issues of entrepreneurship and innovation as the endogenous factors of regional development in the Podkarpackie region. Empirical conclusions presented in this article come from the research conducted back in 2010-2016. The study is based on the data drawn from CATI carried out among SMEs and qualitative in-depth interviews with “innovation leaders”. The results show an important element in the incompatibility between SMEs’ investment strategies and the institutional environments that should support SMEs in action and planning. There is an incompatibility between the statistical and the empirical approaches to innovation. Based on the results of the empirical research, we conclude that regional policy, concentrated on only the statistical approach to the subject of entrepreneurship and innovation, is doomed to failure. It should include an empirical (qualitative) approach and the regional specificity, especially within peripheral regions.

创新与创业:周边地区区域发展的社会经济评论

DOI: 10.14254 / 2071789 x。2021/14-2/12抽象。本文的主题来源于学习区域理论。假设通过各主体的合作，创造有利于区域知识、创业和创新发展的条件。目的是提出企业家精神和创新问题作为Podkarpackie区域发展的内生因素。本文的实证结论来自2010-2016年的研究。该研究基于CATI在中小企业中开展的数据和对“创新领导者”的定性深入访谈。研究结果表明，中小企业的投资策略与支持中小企业行动和规划的制度环境不相容是一个重要因素。创新的统计方法和实证方法之间存在不相容。在实证研究的基础上，我们得出结论:仅从统计角度看待创业创新主体的区域政策是注定要失败的。它应包括经验(定性)方法和区域特异性，特别是在外围地区。
