Abstract: Background and Purpose: This article refers to the relation between information technology (IT) reliability and types of innovations. The main objective of the article is to identify the role of reliability of IT (mainly information reliability) in shaping organization ability to develop different types of innovations, according to Oslo Manual.Design/Methodology/Approach: Theoretical concept of IT reliability is proposed as a one of innovation determinants. Authors proposed four hypotheses and developed a questionnaire to measure the relation between four types of innovation (product, process, organizational and marketing) and IT reliability. The hypotheses were verified using data collected in 2017 from 400 SMEs operating in Poland.Results: Information reliability as the whole notion is statistically significantly correlated with all four types of innovation in organization. Searchability, accuracy and relevance of information have significant relation with product, process, organizational and marketing innovation.Conclusion: The performed empirical research should be treated as the first step of the analysis of innovation determinants, however allowing to draw a set of conclusions useful for the development of next steps of the study.
