Innovations currently represent a tool of maintaining the going concern of a business entity and its competitiveness. However, effects of innovations are not infinite and if an innovation should constantly preserve a life of business entity, it has to be a continual chain of innovations, i.e. continual process. Effective live of a single innovation is limited while the limitation is derived especially from industry.
The paper provides the results of research on innovations effects in the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. Objective of this paper is to determine the length and intensity of the effects of technical innovations in company's financial performance. The economic effect of innovations has been measured at application of company's gross production power while the Deviation Analysis has been applied for three years' time series. Subsequently the Survival Analysis has been applied. The analyses are elaborated for three statistical samples of SMEs constructed in accordance to the industry. The results obtained show significant differences in innovations' survival within these three samples of enterprises then. The results are quite specific for the industries, and are confronted and discussed with the results of authors' former research on the issue.

Keywords: effect of innovations, financial performance, innovation, SMEs, survival analysis
