Research background: Despite the increased interest in business model innovation (BMI) last 20 years, current research landscape still lacks empirical efforts aimed at investigating underexplored link between BMI and performance. This is doubly true specific contexts like Central European countries, whereas systems are weaker than Western ones, firms strongly depend on internal R&D activities absorptive capacity technology upgrades via cooperation with other countries. Purpose of article: study draws theory aim analyzing effects each individual element firms’ performance terms creation radical innovations vs incremental ones. Methods: The data used from Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2018 — latest micro available to date focusing 16,364 Europe, namely 5,749 Czech, 7,377 Hungarian, 3,238 Slovakian firms. As explained (dependent) variables dichotomous (binary: 1 indicates answer yes, 0 no) for all estimated models, a binary logistic regression order focus elements representing analyse their separated Europe. Individual are: methods, logistics, communication, accounting, external relations, human resource management, marketing. Moreover, we check control such as tax credits allowances R&D, public funding innovation, organizations or activities, in-house contracted out lack finance, skilled employees financial resources, size. Findings & value added: For innovators, practices organising procedures relations important. methods work responsibility, decision making, management significant. Surprisingly, regardless radicality, several suggests that managers should enhance strategic collaborations partners exploit capacity, increase knowledge experience employees, whilst policymakers keep providing maintaining supportive infrastructure reducing administrative burdens.

Introduction The transition to a circular economy is key pillar of European sustainable development. However, in the current context, shaped by multiple crises and geopolitical conflicts, efficiency resilience this are particular concern. policymakers national authorities must adapt their approaches mitigate risks posed external factors while ensuring progress towards sustainability goals. This study analyzes from 2010 2022, assessing economic environmental variables. Methods employs an econometric approach using panel data 27 EU Member States. A linear regression model with fixed effects applied alongside spectral analysis descriptive statistics examine relationships between private investment, gross value added, municipal waste recycling rates, recyclable material flows, greenhouse gas emissions. These methods allow for in-depth evaluation influencing transition. Results Findings indicate that investment integration materials significantly enhance economy. varies across States due regional disparities, inadequate infrastructure, inefficient management. High-emission countries face greater challenges achieving targets, demonstrating need tailored resilient policy measures. Discussion results highlight necessity public policies promote attractiveness sectors, reduce improve management infrastructure. Additionally, emphasizes importance coordinated region-specific accelerate By integrating seasonal analyses, research contributes literature offering nuanced understanding affecting progress. insights valuable supranational developing effective strategies at level.
