Abstract
The article presents the results of research devoted to the development of conceptual and methodological bases for determining strategic directions for increasing the gross value added of the high-tech sector of the national economy, in particular, the modern role of high-tech and science-intensive sectors in economic development and the structure of the high-tech sector of the national economy are studied, the state of the high-tech sector of the Ukrainian economy and its gross value added are analysed, the types of economic activity of the high-tech sector are classified into strategic groups, strategic directions for increasing the gross value added of the high-tech sector of the Ukrainian economy are determined. The improved methodological approach to classifying the types of economic activity of the high-tech sector into strategic groups provides a differentiated approach to the development and reveals the sources of strategic directions for increasing gross value added. Value added and output were selected as classification criteria, taking into account the dynamics of development. Depending on the value added generated by a particular type of economic activity and its growth rate, all types of economic activity can be divided into four groups: strategic leaders, potential leaders, current leaders, and problem sectors. The proposed methodological approach helps to identify the risks from an inertial scenario, that is, the development of the situation by gravity without an appropriate policy, as well as to determine the strategic directions for implementing a progressive scenario. Systematic development of the high-tech sector is possible if the appropriate policy is formed on the basis of the national innovation system, the elements of which are: state regulation in the field of innovation; supply and demand of innovations; market infrastructure for innovations; human resources. According to these elements, the policy measures aimed at increasing the gross value added of economic activities of the high-tech sector, which have their own characteristics depending on the classification group, are systematized.
Highlights
The high-tech sector plays a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the world's states and is a key factor in their competitiveness
It is analysed the state of the high-tech sector of the Ukrainian economy and its gross value added, which allowed to determine the directions of development
The methodological approach proposed in the article to determine the types of strategic approaches to the development of the high-tech sector of the national economy contributes to the development of differentiated measures for the types of economic activity of this sector, depending on what added value they generate and what importance they have in the total output, considering the dynamics of development
Summary
The high-tech sector plays a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the world's states and is a key factor in their competitiveness. Advanced digital manufacturing technologies can increase a firm's profits and use of capital, better integrate labour into production, and improve environmental sustainability The introduction of these technologies into industrial production requires additional support from other sectors of the economy, in particular, high-tech services that provide IT and digital solutions necessary for the implementation of "smart" production. Such interaction with services can potentially increase the multiplier effect of industrial production on job creation and poverty reduction, as well as open up new opportunities for countries to develop production (UNIDO 2019)
