Abstract

This paper consists of a meta-analysis of several studies regarding the innovation and R&D potential of the European Union, as well as the internal discrepancies among different member states. This part is followed by a comparative structural analysis of the main characteristics of innovative and non-innovative enterprises from the European Union, thus facilitating the identification of the most relevant aspects that are innovation-sensitive, as well as and the major obstacles that influence the innovative activity of companies. As a result, we were able to identify the most adequate mechanisms used for stimulating innovation and R&D activities and, therefore, we draw our concluding remarks and advanced several general recommendations concerning the governmental approaches innovation and R&D activities in the business enterprise sector.
