Abstract: The research objective of the paper is to analyse Small and Medium Enterprises’ (SMEs) potential to create and adopt organisational innovations. Reasons for choosing such topic stems from observation that in spite of strong emphasis on proving SMEs importance in innovation processes, some significant restrictions appear. One of the areas influencing operational effectiveness is the readiness for and the ease of absorption innovations that shape and organise the internal processes. In this elaboration organisational innovations are understood as a new way of realising tasks facilitating and improving daily and strategic activities. The first research hypothesis has to some extent a controversial character. It states that the SMEs are not capable of creating organisational innovations. According to the secondary hypothesis, which extends the previous one, the SMEs are the laggards in the diffusion model.
