Struktura finansowania i koszt kapitału a innowacyjność przedsiębiorstw
Innovation of enterprises as a result of the R&D and the cost of capital

Summary/Abstract: Economic security of the country depends on participation in international trade of innovative solutions, patents, know-how, new technologies and products resulting from the use of advanced technologies. Research and development are the cornerstone of the elements of international exchange that can provide long-term economic security. In this case enterprises and their willingness to spend on research and development play a key role. Innovation is a basic element of competitive advantage, both qualitative as well as cost and information. Polish entrepreneurs get very good results thanks to the unified European market. The advantage initially concerned low wages, and then, with aid funds, was based on acquired technologies. The next step is to enter the realm of research and development. This is a new challenge for Polish companies. It involves the risk of research on the one hand and, on the other, the high cost of capital. This cost of capital should be minimized – with State aid in the form of grants or guarantees for money providers.
