Creating-entrepreneurial-mindset

Science and business cooperation on innovation evidence from Pomeraniainspiration to carry out their research work basing on science as a phenomenon in itself.It is worth noticing that conferences, seminars and scientific meetings, whichPolish scientists take regularly part in, are usually devoted to theoretical discussion andliterature studies. There are rarely case discussions. The limited numbers of answersconcerned the business suggests strongly that Pomeranian researchers have got narrowknowledge about business problems to be solved. This is relevant to the outcome of theprevious question. Respondents pointed quite rarely that they used to do the implementationwork. The role of this kind of work is to find a solution for real industrial problems,which seems to be quite uninteresting to study or to be involved in for Pomeranianacademic staff.100%80%60%40%20%3 11726131150%TotalMedicalUniversity ofGdanskyesGdanskUniversity ofTechnologyMartitimeAcademynoUniversity ofGdanskSea FisheryInstitutionFig. 11. The utility of research for creation and implementation of innovative products in scientists’opinionsThe next aim of the survey was to discuss at length the utility of Pomeranian researchfor creation and implementation innovative products on the market. In line withcollected data (fig. 6), 85% of the respondents were convinced that their studies hadbeen useful for industry in the aspect of innovation. Such an opinion was shared completelyby all employees of the SFI and MUG. 85% of academics at GUT and 75% ofMaritime Academy also demonstrated this belief. The minority of the tested populationwas against and explicated that their studies hadn’t been useful for innovation. Thesequestion didn’t give the answer if the outcomes of the conducted research work atPomeranian universities and R&D units were not useful for the industry at all.shorter then 1 year7no5yes, over 5 years1yes, 1-3 years1yes, 4-5 years00 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Fig. 12.
