dc.description.abstractAlong with the development of economies based on knowledge, the importance of knowledge input in production processes has been increasing. Enterprises may acquire knowledge input by developing their internal knowledge base and/or purchasing knowledge from external entities. Their internal knowledge base may be developed mainly by employing highly qualified specialists and their own research. The aim of the paper is to examine the importance of all these knowledge sources in manufacturing and services enterprises, as well as to compare their changing role with productivity performance in EU countries. It is based on data from the World Input-Output Database, Eurostat, OECD and EU KLEMS. Thanks to the availability of relevant data, the analysed period covers the years 1995–2018. The study demonstrates that knowledge base, developed through both internal and external sources, played a significantly more important role in the EU-15 than in the EU-12, with a tendency to decrease these disparities (most visible with respect to KIBS input). The growing importance of an external knowledge base was more visible and stable in the EU-12 countries. R&D expenditures were an exception. The recent financial crisis heavily affected only external R&D expenditures.en
dc.description.abstractZnaczenie wkładu wiedzy w procesy produkcyjne wzrasta wraz z rozwojem gospodarek opartych na wiedzy. Przedsiębiorstwa mogą nabywać wiedzę poprzez rozwój własnej wewnętrznej bazy wiedzy i/lub przez nabycie wiedzy od zewnętrznych podmiotów. Wewnętrzna baza wiedzy może być rozwijana głównie poprzez zatrudnianie wysoko wykwalifikowanych pracowników oraz prowadzenie własnych badań. Celem pracy jest zbadanie znaczenia tych źródeł wiedzy w przedsiębiorstwach przetwórczych i usługowych, a ponadto porównanie zmieniającej się ich roli ze zmianami w produktywności w krajach UE. Badanie oparte jest na danych pochodzących z World Input-Output Database, Eurostat, OECD i EU KLEMS. Z uwagi na dostępność danych, analizowany okres obejmuje lata 1995–2018. Badanie wykazało, że rozwój bazy wiedzy, zarówno przy udziale źródeł wewnętrznych jak i zewnętrznych, odgrywa dużo większą rolę w krajach UE-15 niż UE-12, z tendencją do zmniejszania się tych dysproporcji (najwyraźniejszą w przypadku wkładu KIBS). Wzrost znaczenia zewnętrznych źródeł wiedzy był bardziej widoczny i stabilny w krajach UE-12 niż UE-15. Wyjątkiem były wydatki na działalność B&R. Wydatki na zewnętrzne B&R były jedynym źródłem wiedzy, które zostało mocno dotknięte przez ostatni kryzys finansowy.pl
