Abstract

The measure of companies’ innovation performance. The uncertainty of the social and economic situation require a reliable measurement of innovation, because data on this subject can help enterprises better assess the contribution of innovation to their development and the achievement of intended goals, and then help decision-makers to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of pro-innovation activities. However, it should be noted that the measure of innovation performance should not be based on one indicator alone. The complexity of the innovation process requires taking into account its individual stages, during which the investment outlays are transformed into innovative products or processes. In addition, research conducted among Polish enterprises showed that they are not interested in monitoring macroeconomic indicators related to innovative activity, often analysed in various types of scientific papers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the indicators of measuring companies’ innovation performance. Based on the bibliometric analysis, a two-stage innovation process was adopted consisting of the research and development stage and the comercialisation stage. In turn, the development of an original definition of the innovative process allowed to group the described indicators consistently into two groups: indicators of research and development activity and indicators of commercialisation.
