Table 2 depicts that <strong>the</strong> knowledge generation institutions in <strong>the</strong> matrix given are not distributed
homogeneously. The absence <strong>of</strong> institutions in some areas <strong>of</strong> economic activity can give evidence <strong>of</strong>:
<strong>the</strong> area is not provided with necessary resources;
<strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> resources in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> interest is not reasonable;
<strong>the</strong> economic unit is not involved in this activity.
The analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> institutional matrix <strong>of</strong> knowledge generation can be performed via <strong>the</strong> following
stages:
to analyze <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> institutions according <strong>the</strong> knowledge type;
to observe how <strong>the</strong> knowledge are distributed between <strong>the</strong> management functions;
to consider <strong>the</strong> distribution between <strong>the</strong> manufacturing functions, if necessary;
to draw <strong>the</strong> conclusion.
Functional knowledge. This type <strong>of</strong> knowledge is determinative when designing an innovation-active
enterprise. The matrix indicates that 22 institutions ensure <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> functional knowledge,
whereas 33 and 31 institutions provide <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> operative and structural knowledge
respectively. Studying <strong>the</strong> distribution <strong>of</strong> functional knowledge institutions considering <strong>the</strong>
management functions, it can be seen that 1 institution is singled out in <strong>the</strong> area <strong>of</strong> planning <strong>the</strong>
