Program-target approach to innovative development: Russian and foreign experience

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to summarize Russian and foreign experience in the implementation of a program-target approach to management from a theoretical perspective concerning the development of mechanisms for the implementation of target programs.Tasks. The author investigates the historical experience of implementing target programs; identifies the established algorithm and mechanisms for the implementation of such programs; analyzes approaches to assessing their efficiency.Methods. The author uses general scientific methods of theoretical research and analysis of the approaches of leading Russian and foreign scientists in the context of the problem under investigation.Results. Target programs in the most important areas, such as digitalization, import substitution, and socio-economic development, do not produce the expected results. Drawing attention to the assessment of the efficiency of federal target programs, the author notes that the category of “efficiency assessment” is narrowly defined and thereby does not reflect the logic and content of the components of a particular program. Nevertheless, it remains obvious that federal target programs are the main instrument of the innovative development of the national economy. This encourages the development and improvement of mechanisms for their implementation.Conclusion. In the course of theoretical research, the secondary results of the works of domestic scientists are analyzed.
