- Abstract
Spatial proximity to competitors is an important factor in the acceleration of technological change in industrial systems in most developed countries, but does it also apply to Poland? The main objective of the study was to identify the impact of distance from the nearest competitor on the innovative activity of a selected regional industrial system in Poland. Surveys were conducted in the years 2011-13, including a group of 773 industrial companies in the well-development region. Methodical analysis was based on the theory of probability - probit modeling. The obtained results showed in the Lower Silesia region differences between spatial proximity of competitors and the innovation activity of industrial system compared to most developed countries.
