ABSTRACT. The business cycle is an important factor that can often affect the decisions to un- dertake or discontinuance of the innovation activity by the industrial enterprise, both in Poland, but also in more developed countries. The primary objective of the study is the attempt to search for directions, as well as the impact of economic conditions on the innovation activity of Polish enterprises in the area of the industrial system of the Mazowieckie province. As a result, it is possible to determine the boundary conditions for the regional network of innovations and its model structure
