Abstrakt

Znaczenie 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.
