摘要:The article explores the relationship
between innovations and services
in transition economies - i.e.
new EU Member States, focusing
on Slovenia. We first present a
conceptual framework for defining
innovation in services and different
dimensions of innovation in
services that transcend the boundaries
of sectoral definition. The
central part of the article deals
with the deficient understanding
of innovation in services in transition
economies/Slovenia. Using
CIS3 and CIS4 innovation survey
data, we analyse the intensity
of innovative activity in Slovenia
compared to the EU and examine
differences in innovative
activity in services and manufacturing.
Further, we identify key
general and service-specific barriers
to innovation in services, particularly
those that are characteristic
for transition economies.
Based on an overview of the
present status of innovation in
services and analysis of barriers
to innovation in services in Slovenia/
transition economies, we propose
in conclusion some basic
guidelines for policies towards encouraging
innovation in services
that could contribute to decreasing
the lag of transition economies
behind developed countries.
