Abstract

In the contemporary world economy, understood as a set of mutual connections and interdependencies, innovations are crucial for economic growth and competitiveness. Internationalization and globalization processes in the world economy also concern the innovativeness of economies, and are visible in international use of technologies developed within national innovation systems,globalization of the creation and implementation of innovations, international (global) cooperation in research and development and innovation activities, international (global) protection of intellectual property. The interdependencies between countries in terms of their innovative activity are gradually deepening. This overlaps with the links and interdependencies that exist between the national innovation system of a given country and regional, metropolitan and industry systems.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing links and interdependencies between the national innovation systems of various countries and to determine their impact on international competitiveness. The research focuses on national innovation systems and their international linkages, knowledge resources and international competitiveness. It proposes a conceptual approach to characterize and study the interdependencies indicated above. With reference to theoretical approaches, it shapes a framework that could be the basis for further empirical analyses.
