Abstract
This article deals with innovation performance and its measurement.
The objective is to present the measuring of innovation performance
as it is implemented in today’s Czech business environment. It begins
with a comprehensive theory and the definition of essential terms.
The theoretical part is followed by the analysis of the current state of
the issue from the perspective of enterprises in the Czech Republic.
The analysis consists of four own primary questionnaire surveys.
The research outputs reveal weaknesses in current approaches to
innovation effectiveness measurement. Our enterprises use all possible means to increase productivity and achieve operational excellence. However, they tend to neglect the important area of research and development. It has been proven, with help of questionnaire surveys, that many enterprises still do not measure innovation performance despite the importance of innovation as an engine of growth. Only a few organisations appear to have an effective system for measuring their overall innovation performance.
Keywords
measurement; economic effect; management control; questionnaire survey; Czech Republic
