Abstract: The significance of innovativeness for development and competitive advantage has been recognised for decades. The recent literature has acknowledged organisational innovativeness as a complex and multidimensional construct. Indeed, there have been some conceptual and methodological contributions to the structure, evaluation and measurement of multidimensionally-perceived organisational innovativeness. However, so far, there has been little empirical research on these issues. Furthermore, the results of prior studies remain ambiguous. Thus, this research focuses on organisational innovativeness and introduces its multidimensional conceptualisation into Polish aviation industry and innovation networks. The findings suggest that in case of aviation companies organisational innovativeness is a two-dimensional construct consisting of product and people innovativeness. Additionally, this paper aim at presentation of research results about potential interdependencies between organisational innovativeness and intra-network cooperation. The empirical evidence indicates that organisational innovativeness and its particular dimensions are positively related to cooperation inside innovation networks.
