Resumen
Descripción
This report provides detailed
knowledge on firm-level technology sophistication in Poland,
and, by identifying the main barriers and drivers to
adoption, it delivers evidence-based policy recommendations
to foster technology adoption across different firms and
sectors. The analysis based on the TAS is divided into two
parts. The main report first describes the new approach to
measuring technology sophistication, the structure of the
Technology Adoption Survey, and its implementation in
Poland. Second, chapter 2 provides key insights from the
results by linking technology adoption with productivity,
managerial skills, and firms’ capabilities. It also
investigates heterogeneity in technology sophistication
across firms with different characteristics and the main
drivers and barriers to adoption. The analysis is enriched
by providing an in-depth comparison of technology
sophistication between Poland and Korea. Chapter 3 briefly
explains the heterogeneity of technology sophistication
across sectors in Poland. This report concludes with a
policy recommendation chapter that is based on the results
of the TAS and the assessment of current policies supporting
technology adoption (chapter 4). The second separate report
entitled Sectoral approach to the drivers of productivity
growth in Polish sectors. A firm-level perspective on
technology adoption and firm capabilities complements this
report and focuses on the sectoral differences in technology
adoption. Each sector, agriculture, food processing, wearing
apparel, automotive, pharmaceuticals, trade, financial
services, and land transport, is analyzed in detail, not
only through the lens of the TAS but also from the
perspective of the general economic situation in the sector.
Moreover, the series also includes a policy note Do usług
(At your service) The promise of services-led development in
Poland that describes the role that the service sector can
play in spurring productivity growth.
