Inventions generated in the ICT sector are used in other economic sectors, as well as in the areas of social life. The phenomenon significantly hampers a thorough analysis of the importance of ICT sector in a multi-dimensional development of information society (IS). Therefore, capturing the category of information society is still a challenge to scientific cognizance. One of the characteristics of modern society is the ability to use the computer network systems, in particular the Internet, for the rapid exchange of information, or making purchases. Today is characterized by preparation, competence and ability to use information systems to purchase transmission services and remote processing of information. These new categories, forms and phenomena also allude to scientific cognizance. The answer to this is a constant search for ways to capture the categories of information society (IS). There is a consensus in the search of rational and yet in-depth analysis of the IS development process, in which the leading role in the IS development is granted to ICT industry. Thus, it is very often the basis for the analysis of the potential and the level of information society development. In studies concerning the ICT sector, not only the data on production are used, but also other characteristics describing the sector, including patent activity which indicates the direction of technological development today and in the future. This article raises the hypothesis that the convergence of the identified IPC classes, most strongly exploited by both, the European Union countries and one of the leading global companies of the ICT sector, suggests that the development of information society is not only highly correlated with the ICT sector, but also significantly depends on an identifiable, relatively small number of technological areas. As a result of the adopted research procedure, it was found that the leading technologies, which constitute the material basis of the IS development are digital computing, data processing equipment, arrangements for program control, processes or apparatus specially adapted for the manufacture or treatment of semiconductor

The key research objectives include: drawing a statistical picture of creative industry activity in Poland in the years 1995 - 2013, taking into account gender aspect; assessing the convergence as regards the patents obtained by men and women; identifying technological areas where women are present. The chapter, for the first time, presents a statistical picture of industrial creativity of men and women in Poland in the period of economic transformation, based on patent statistics.

Kontekstem badawczym są postulaty zawarte w strategii Europa 2020, dotyczące m.in. potrzeby inwentaryzacji krajowych i regionalnych potencjałów. Głównymi celami badawczymi są: identyfikacja zasobów technologicznych krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, które po 2003 r. przystąpiły do Unii Europejskiej, oraz ocena zróżnicowania tych zasobów. Zasadniczymi ustaleniami wynikającymi z przeprowadzonej analizy są: 1) wielkość gospodarki determinuje liczbę tworzonych i rozwijanych zasobów technologicznych, 2) równomiernie wzmacnianymi i eksploatowanymi polami rozwoju technologicznego w badanej grupie są: technologie produkcji mebli, środki farmaceutyczne oraz maszyny specjalistyczne, 3) w obszarze technologii mikrostrukturalnych i nanotechnologii zdecydowanie największe zasoby posiadają podmioty węgierskie.This paper discusses the issue of the technological resources within chosen group of ...

The health industries have observed remarkable growth since entering into the EU. While the pharmaceutical industry faces some economic slowdown since 2011, the medtech industry shows substantial dynamism for its small size. The Polish health industry has still much to do to improve its innovation status. However, the observed trend of the innovation dynamics is cause for optimism. Polish firms in the health industries are increasingly innovating and extracting economic results from these innovations.

So far, there has been a research gap concerning the issue in question. The results of researching the issue can, however, be used to ensure more effective innovation development through a better-than-ever selection of individuals for each phase of the innovation process. The subject of research was to examine, identify and describe differences in the participation of men and women in the innovation process, taking into account not only competencies but also personal characteristics, attitudes and behaviour. Research method – The research covered 1,164 innovative companies – beneficiaries of the European Union Cohesion Policy 2007-2013. The conceptual framework of the model described by the pre-25 variables has been verified. Applying the selected statistically significant variables and components ensures more accuracy for the model ...

But still no one pointed out gender related issues in decision making managers who involve specialists with dedicated competences in the various phases of the innovation process. So far, this issue is the research gap, which in turn can be used to provide more effective development of innovation by better than ever selection of individuals in each innovation process phase. Aim: The subject of this research was to examine, identify and describe differences in participation of men and women in the innovation process taking into account not only competences but also personal characteristics, attitudes, behavior.

According to findings presented in this article, the previous studies have investigated insufficiently the gender-related issues in the decisions of managers who involve specialists in the innovation process. Thus, the purpose of this research was to identify, examine, and describe differences in the participation of men and women in the innovation process, considering their personal characteristics, attitudes, and behaviours. The research covered 1,164 innovative companies – beneficiaries of the European Union Cohesion Policy of 2007–2013. The survey was distributed independently to women and men participating in innovative activities in the researched companies. Two independent responses were received from each company; thus, two independent data samples were created. Both data composition and preliminary analysis adhere...
