Management of innovation processes in agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture is one of the most critical sectors of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Therefore, the development of its innovativeness in the formation of public policy needs new methods of its formation is one of the most discussed issues among scientists and politicians. Thus, it is relevant to consider methods of management of innovation processes in agriculture as an integral part of the effectiveness of innovation in enterprises and the industry as a whole and to determine which of them can be used most effectively in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The primary method of the study was modelling, given the number of built and analysed models shown in the work; other methods worth mentioning are analysis, formalisation, forecasting, the historical method, and others. Thus, the research considered some basic models describing the management of innovation processes in agriculture. It was highlighted that they all have their strengths and weaknesses in one way or another. Nevertheless, there are universal principles for building models of innovation process management that should be followed. For example, the interaction between the subjects of the model should be effortless and transparent. At the same time, they should receive sufficient amounts of qualitative information from the external environment. Considering them, as well as addressing the general features of the development of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its agricultural sector, it is possible to achieve significant success in solving the described problems. The research also analyses some methods of building management models of innovation processes. The work brings new knowledge to the theory of management as well as provides an opportunity to find methods to improve the management of innovation processes in agriculture.
