Abstract
Economic changes have significantly accelarated in the 21th century. In this turbulent market environment enterprises are forced to adapt continously as they must be flexible in order to meet changing market needs. To achieve flexibility companies require innovation. The economic relevance of innovations is significant in every market sector and agriculture is no exception. Re-dynamizing agricultural innovations is a possibility for the outburst of the Hungarian agriculture. Agricultural enterprises have to face competitors as well and they should give priority to efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness in order to preserve their position in BOTH global and domestic markets. This study examines the innovation potential of the agricultural enterprises in the North Great Plain region based on own databases and case studies.
Highlights
The matter of innovation progresses is closely related to areas of economic growth, regional competitiveness and knowledge transfer
According to the representation of the regional economy, the significance of innovation appears in enterprises and other organizations' regional radiation and in the effect of technological development on the economic growth of regional units (Nolte, 1996; Dőry, 2005)
The examination is concentrated on enterprises with 10 or more employees, which is justified for various reasons. on the basis of former researches and observations, in innovation processes and cooperations micro enterprises are less activated than bigger enterprises (Csizmadia and grosz, 2011)
Summary
The matter of innovation progresses is closely related to areas of economic growth, regional competitiveness and knowledge transfer. According to the representation of the regional economy, the significance of innovation appears in enterprises and other organizations' regional radiation and in the effect of technological development on the economic growth of regional units (Nolte, 1996; Dőry, 2005). Factors closely related to innovations (innovation culture, K+F) are shown in the pyramid model both as basic factor and key success factor, having direct and indirect effects on basic cathegories that determine regional competitiveness (earnings, productivity, employment) (Lengyel, 2003). The understanding of the regional operation of innovation progresses is helped by different regional innovation systems (models).
