Abstract

This article presents the results of a gap analysis conducted at the level of Romania's development regions regarding innovation in organizations. The research was focused on determining the gap in Regional Innovation Scoreboard (RIS) between Romania's development regions and the EU average as well as analyzing gap dynamics in 2009-2017. The results obtained from the research seem to indicate that: the gap existing at the beginning of the analyzed period had a downward dynamics and it was accentuated for all the development regions of Romania; the quasimajority of the regions of Romania registers modest values of RIS compared to the EU average, which places them on the last places in the EU; some regions of Romania are very close to the EU average in some RIS-specific indicators such as the Bucharest-Ilfov region for trademark applications and for other indicators the gaps are very high; the innovation of Romanian organizations is focused on technical aspects. The existing disparities and the tendency of their accentuation largely explain the relatively small competitiveness of Romanian organizations in the single market and the effort to be made to recover them.
