The aim of the paper is to assess econometrically the role of knowledge flows in the innovative activities of Polish enterprises as well as the subsidiaries of foreign companies operating in Poland. The study is based on the CIS-2008 microdata collected by the Polish Central Statistical Office. The data consists of 15 840 observations - of individual companies which answered questions on their innovative activity. As the CIS questionnaire provides mainly categorical data, logistic regressions are used to test research hypotheses in the paper. We use binomial logit at the first stage of the procedure (hurdle regression) and, due to the limitation of the Polish CIS data, a zero-truncated negative binomial at the second stage. The analysis presented in the paper not only confirms empirically the importance of knowledge flows in innovation activity as pointed out in the fifth generation of innovation process models but also reveals a pattern of partners matching. As enterprises choose similarly advanced partners, from the perspective of a medium developed country as Poland, such a matching pattern means the international innovation cooperation of large companies in high-tech sectors and local collaboration in the case of medium-sized enterprises in lower technology sectors.

Celem artykułu jest empiryczna analiza roli przepływów wiedzy w działalności innowacyjnej polskich przedsiębiorstw. Przeprowadzone badania dotyczą zarówno formalnych (współpraca), jak i nieformalnych (obserwacja) możliwości uzyskania dostępu do źródeł wiedzy w celu wyjaśnienia ich znaczenia dla powodzenia i efektów 5 działań innowacyjnych. Badanie opisane w artykule jest oparte na danych jednostkowych zebranych przez GUS w ramach sprawozdania o innowacjach PNT-02, związanego z Community Innovation Survey, prowadzonego pod egidą Eurostatu we wszystkich państwach Unii Europejskiej. Dane składają się z formularzy 15 840 przedsiębiorstw. Ponieważ kwestionariusz badania PNT-02 zapewnia głównie dane kategoryczne, do testowania hipotez badawczych w artykule wykorzystywane są regresje logistyczne w postaci dwuetapowej procedury HRM (hurdleregression model). Na pierwszym etapie tej procedury wykorzystany jest model logitowy, a na drugim - ocenzurowany ujemny rozkład ; dwumianowy (ZNTB). Analiza przedstawiona w artykule nie tylko potwierdza empirycznie znaczenie przepływów różnych rodzajów wiedzy w działalności innowacyjnej, jak wskazano w tzw. piątej generacji modeli procesu innowacyjnego, ale także ukazuje sposób dobierania partnerów. Przedsiębiorstwa głównie współpracują z partnerami na podobnym poziomie zaawansowania technologicznego. W kraju średnio rozwiniętym, jak Polska, oznacza to międzynarodową współpracę technologiczną dużych przedsiębiorstw w sektorach nowoczesnych technologii i współpracę lokalną średnich przedsiębiorstw w sektorach mniej zaawansowanych technologicznie.
