Innovations and Innovations of the Future in Selected Companies

The key factor enabling the development of modern enterprises is innovation resulting mainly from new technologies. Scientific literature has distinguished various types of innovation, such as product, process, marketing and organizational, and at the same time, their sources: endogenous or exogenous, including domestic or foreign. Current innovations must be accompanied by actions aimed at defining innovations of the future, which cover a wide range of disciplines, such as information and communication technologies, renewable energy, medicine, education or transport. Own research conducted in the construction sector indicates the predominance of organizational innovations and planned innovations of the future related mainly to renewable energy, information and communication technologies and logistics. Further research on innovations of the future is necessary for a better understanding of innovation processes and their potential impact on social and economic changes. Consistent development of innovation strategies will be particularly important, including analysis of the impact of various factors on the level of innovation, which should contribute to building sustainable and more efficient economies.
