Abstract

Purpose: The article discusses the efficiency of state policy on the provision of a technological breakthrough in the Russian economy. Design/methodology/approach: Within the study, the authors have employed the methods of systemic, factor, functional, logical, comparative, and statistical analysis. On the back of the analysis, an integrated assessment of institutional and technological provision means of the Russian economy has been carried out. Findings: The authors have found out that the current system to manage and coordinate the performance of national projects does not pay due attention to inter-industry and interdisciplinary interaction, the achievement of sustainable demand for breakthrough technologies, products, and services, and development of a large-scale system for generation of scientific and technical knowledge. The authors have proved the need to coordinate the performance of national projects in the field of labor productivity, employment of the population, and science using network principles. It has been proposed to engage a coordination committee as the governing and coordinating bodies in the performance of these projects. The paper has established its functions and priority areas to improve the institutional provision of national projects. The authors proposed a mechanism of megaprojects as forms of executing national projects on the back of development institutions within a unified management and coordination system. Besides, the criteria for development institutions have been developed, a list of development institutions has been suggested and the structure of the platform for the generation of scientific knowledge and their transformation into innovations have been discussed. Uniqueness/value: The findings can be useful in executing national projects.KeywordsNational projectDevelopment institutionsMegaprojectsCoordination committeeKnowledge generation platformCompetitive advantagesBreakthrough technologiesJEL CodesR19O32O31O11
