Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on organizational innovations of enterprises in 2004–2010. Based on the data sample of the Czech Statistical Office, we estimate by regression the influence of organizational innovations on scientific and research expenses on employees, sales from innovation production on employees and work productivity. It is not possible to state unambiguously that organizational innovations contribute to higher innovation intensity or higher work productivity. The analysis of innovators confirmed the positive influence of projects focusing on starting external cooperation and the change of work organization on higher expenses on scientific and research activities. These expenses can also contribute to a higher innovation output which then contributes to higher work productivity. Introducing a new knowledge system leads to lower expenses on scientific and research activities, however, it has an additional positive influence on sales from innovation production that significantly influence the innovation work productivity. This negative influence can be explained by reducing the enterprise activity during the transition to new information system and focusing only on innovation production, meaning rendering the profits from goods and services with the highest value added.
