Title: Innovációs képesség elemzése kistérségi szinten : A Dél-alföldi és Észak-Magyarországi régiók összevetése
Abstract: The paper analyses the innovation capacity of the regions of the Southern Hungarian Plain and Northern Hungary at aggregate small region level in a national comparison. Starting from the theory of innovation systems, it aims at capturing the efficiency of innovation systems at small region level. Multi-variable statistical methods were employed to develop the index of ‘Small Region Innovation Capacity’ (with the Hungarian abbreviation KIK-index) capturing the complexity of the innovation capacity: the four sub-indices measuring the fundamental elements of the innovation system, and the ten factors capable of capturing their underlying processes and thus the specifics of the regions. The analyses demonstrate that the regions do not form an organic unity in terms of innovation capacity, in reality they are a set of small regions having individual characteristics and not connected to each other in this sense.
