HIGHER SCHOOL AS AN INSTITUTION SUPPORTING INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES HELD BY COMPANIES. SELECTED PROBLEMS

Summary/Abstract: In subject literature we can distinguish dozens of definitions of innovation and there are various (economical, sociological, technical) approaches towards the analyzed problem, which is in fact the consequence of its high complexity, multidimensional structure of the innovation process itself and its preconditions. This text concentrates, above all, on three attributes of innovation: its social dimension, interactivity and innovation as a process of learning. The purpose of this paper is also to answer the following questions: What kind of factors are indispensable to create and develop innovativeness? What competencies are required from people participating in innovation processes? How can a higher school (also humanistic education) support innovative activities held by companies? The attempt to analyze selected aspects of the undertaken problem has been made on the basis of literature studies (including study reports on innovativeness and documents referring to the job of institutions operating in the sector of knowledge economy) and own experience in the field of knowledge commercialization and academic research management.
