Science and technology parks as a tool for innovative business support
EIBLOVÁ, Eva
The aim of this work is to evaluate the activities of science and technology parks (STP) and their benefits for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in South Bohemian Region. Analysis of available information and research on a selected group of small and medium-sized firms showed that: a) There are suitable conditions to support innovative activities of small and medium-sized companies in the region, including sufficient spare capacity in the existing STP. b) There is a little awareness about the possibilities of a cooperation among STP and small and medium-sized enterprises in the region. c) Firms are willing and ready to innovative behavior d) Firms have a small interest to cooperate with STP Application of innovation is a key precondition for any company to keep pace with market developments and maintaining competitiveness. Small businessmen are showing some innovative intention, but usually do not have funds enough for their development and subsequent application. Another problem presents itself willingness and readiness of companies to innovative behavior. Sometimes there is not enough trust that the dedication to develop any innovations will improve the situation. Small and medium-sized businesses which are considered to be the basic building blocks of country economic stability are quite reluctant and show no or just a little awareness to cooperate with STP in the region. Hence, cooperation with STP remains an unexplored opportunity and remains a challenge for the future.

VARGOVÁ, Vendula
Scientific-technical parks are important tool of support of innovative enterprising. The goal of the bachelor work is to analyze functioning of scientific-technical parks in the South Bohemian Region and describe their contribution to the development of the region and to the innovative activities of small and medium sized enterprises. The information for processing of the bachelor work was gathered by content analysis of secondary data and verified by collection of primary data. In the operative part of the bachelor work is used research by the method of questioning, technique of questionnaire. The questionnaire composed by 14 questions was distributed to a selective sample of innovative enterprises located in the South Bohemian scientific-technical park. Hypothesis H1 ? ?Scientific-technical parks are beneficial tool for the development of innovative enterprising? has been confirmed and hypothesis H2 ? ?Scientific-technical parks serve to support innovative enterprising and create small and medium sized enterprises? has been also confirmed. The results of the research show that more than 75 percent of established innovative enterprises are represented by joint-stock companies and limited liability companies. The number of employees is the highest in the two following groups. The two groups are companies with 1 - 5 employees and companies with 6 ? 9 employees. That means small and medium sized enterprises. Majority of the enterprises has been on the market for 1 - 3 years with the exception of one company that has been on the market for 15 years now. The residing companies are mostly satisfied with the quality of the office equipment. However, equipment of laboratories related to pilot plant area and technical background could be enhanced. The companies use the option of patent counseling, transfer of technologies counseling and marketing counseling the most. The companies list easier access to office and laboratory areas and easier access to financial sources as the biggest benefits of residing in the scientific-technical park. In my opinion, the development of scientific-technical parks is necessary for the future as it is very useful and beneficial tool for creation of innovative enterprising and transfer of technologies followed by economical development of the region.
