Overview: This Paper explores the relationship between R&D and productivity through perspective of 'Narrow' and 'Broad' National Systems of Innovation (NSI). Based on OLS econometrics it examines the extent to which systems in CEE could be considered 'Inefficient'. The results suggest that the CEECs have lower levels of productivity than would be expected given their R&D capacities, innovation and production capabilities. However, 'Inefficiencies' cannot be found within the 'Narrow' national system of innovation but more likely within 'Broad' national system of innovation. The extent to which current innovation polices of the CEECs meet requirements were than explored, which follow from the analysis, and the direction in which innovation policy in CEECs should be redirected, was pointed out.
