Alternatives of Developing Technological Entrepreneurship in the World

Abstract

The article studies possible alternatives of developing technological entrepreneurship in Russia and in the world in view of scenario approach: territorial communications in the scale of Big Eurasia programs; upgrading raw material technologies, in particular, mass access of small forms of technological business to completion of worked-out wells and mines; developing service sector for global economy (construction, transport, education, recreation, etc.). In this case gradation of countries according to the level of entrepreneurship development is carried out. Four groups of countries are named: highly-developed, medium-developed, underdeveloped and countries of the ‘falling type’ (for example, Afghanistan, Haiti, Somali, etc.). Classical definition of technological entrepreneurship tasks was formulated: selection of ideas, organization of financing, commercialization and mass production. The significance of private sector as a principle driver of the innovation process was highlighted. Types of financing for technological innovation were systematized according to countries: venture, in-company, state and mixed. State-private partnership for this type of business was assessed. Examples were provided on the basis of Russian and Danish experience in the underground construction. The authors proposed a global pyramid of technological entrepreneurship describing levels of development hierarchy.
