ІНСТРУМЕНТИ АКТИВІЗАЦІЇ ІННОВАЦІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ЗАЛІЗНИЧНОГО ТРАНСПОРТУ

Abstract

In the article proves that in modern business conditions to ensure a decent competitive position for railway transport companies in the market of transport and logistics services is not possible without active innovation. It is established that recently this type of activity has lost its effectiveness, and therefore does not allow obtaining the desired results. Research has shown that the application of the open innovation model is not yet a guarantee of success for railway transport companies. Studies of existing scientific achievements have led to the conclusion that railway and transport enterprises, despite the restructuring of the railway industry, operate in a single technical and technological chain, and therefore their innovation is dominated by a single innovation and technological cycle using the principles of resource sharing to achieve innovative goals. In view of all the above, as a basis for ensuring the effectiveness of innovation activities of railway transport enterprises should use the sharing of innovation activities. Under such conditions, overall economic efficiency will be determined by a number of local effects: use of agreed transfer prices for works and services between the participants of the cooperation; concentration of financial resources directed to research and development work; testing of production processes and checking the quality and efficiency of new business models; optimization of production volumes for those products for which small and medium scale of production are economically unreasonable; ensuring the stability of the holding structure to bankruptcy situations in market conditions. During research it is established that it is expedient to allocate the basic four models of sharing of innovative resources for the enterprises of railway transport: (sharing of the equipment, sharing of the personnel, sharing of engineering teams, sharing of ideas and developments) accordingly to form mechanisms of their further realization. For railway transport enterprises that are part of cooperative networks and are not linked by cross-capital ownership, the advantages are strategic and operational flexibility, which is also, associated with a higher level of production and information risks.
