 Full text | Abstract: Innovativeness is believed to be a basic prerequisite for firms to gain and maintain sustainable competitiveness on the global market. Based on a questionnaire survey, the innovativeness-related needs of Polish protective clothing manufacturers were analysed. By identifying their major needs and the level of firms’ competence in individual areas, gaps could be determined, that is, areas where competence and skills fell short of the needs. A very important component of the survey was demonstrating the extremely positive influence of firms’ innovativeness on their competitiveness. |
