Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the development of selected innovation effects related to enterprises activities (2) to analyze the distribution of this development among transforming CEE member states. Desigh/Methodology/Approach: Both the assessment of enterprises innovation development effects, as well as its distribution, was designed on the basis of international standards for measuring innovation activity. The research group occurred in this study consisted of all CEE member states and covered the period of 2016–2022. Adopted methodology involved index methods and comparable analyses based on statistical structure parameters. Findings: The development of innovation effects among CEE member states provided ambiguous results. Business process innovations maintained the strongest and the most coherent effect of enterprises activities among CEE member states. The turnover from products implementations which were new to the market also revealed high assessment, however this relation was relevant only for few member states. On the contrary, all countries revealed both the highest and the most coherent relative decrease of export to import ratio. Practical implementation: Further commercialization effects driven by implemented process innovation as well as visible diversification of turnover should therefore maintain the fields for further empirical studies. Originality value: Transforming economies should in particular be focused on expanding innovation activities of enterprises in order to increase productivity and competitiveness. Although there are regular studies on innovation results concerning all EU member states, the perspective of Central and Eastern European economies (CEE) seems not sufficiently exposed.
