The author used multiregression logit models to describe the statistical significant relations between business support units and innovation activity in enterprises.Results: The positive feedback from the logit models show us homogeneity of the country system from the one side (the same direction influence) and heterogeneity from the other (differences between support units) that flows from these interactions. The impact of the BSO units were statistically significant, strong and positive in most cases, excluding some exceptions.Novelty: Appointment of systemic strength, direction and odds ratio of the impact the support units have on innovation activity in Poland.
