Analysis of the sectoral innovation system for forestry of the Czech Republic. Does it even exist?

Author

  • Jarský, Vilém

Abstract

The article deals with the implementation of an innovation system (IS) in the forestry sector in the Czech Republic. The aim is to analyse characteristics of selected elements (forest owners, forest policy documents, support measures, related institutions) of that system since 2000 and evaluate all three main functions proposed for IS. The conclusion is that the sectoral IS for Czech forestry is established but the IS does not fulfil all three main functions completely — it provides sufficient supportive functions but the information function fulfils only partially and the conflict management function performs poorly.
