Abstract
In the innovation rankings, Poland scores low, and the results of research indicate that the weakest link in this field are the companies. For the companies catching up with the world’s best, the possibility to obtain specific benefits from the relative underdevelopment as a result of application of intelligent techniques and strategies is particularly important. They allow for the achievement of satisfactory results at a reasonable cost and limited risk. The article discuses selected strategies of the companies concerning implementation of the advanced technologies, which may be an alternative to the risky and capitalintensive strategy of technological leadership. They are defined as “intelligent”, because they aim at reducing the costs and risks incurred, and at the same time, they make use of the advantages resulting from the delayed integration with the global technological race. Such “resourceful strategies” include: strategy of innovation of “technological spatter hunters” and cooperative technological internationalization.
