Productive and Technological Innovation Infrastructure of the Regions of Russia

Introduction. In the modern world, socio-economic and political leadership of a country is based on the generation of new knowledge, its commercialization and use in all areas of human activity, it being an important prerequisite for improving the competitiveness of the state. To achieve this goal, individual elements of the national innovation system including the main components of the innovation infrastructure are being formed in many constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Materials and Methods. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation are the object of the research, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the main components of the innovative productive and technological infrastructure being the subject of the study. A typology of Russia’s regions in terms of the development of their innovative productive and technological infrastructure was carried out. To calculate the integral index of the level of infrastructure development, linear scaling was applied; the number of different objects of productive and technological infrastructure in each region was used as the input indicator. Results. The types of the regions of Russia have been singled out according to the level of development of the productive and technological infrastructure and their brief description has been given. One and the same type includes territories having a similar structure and level of saturation with objects of productive and technological infrastructure which is manifested indirectly in the main results of the innovation activities of the regions. It has been revealed that more than half of the regions of Russia have a low level of development of the productive and technological infrastructure, a small number of regions are characterized by a high level of infrastructure development, in other constituent entities of the Russian Federation an average level of innovation infrastructure development has been noted. Discussion and Conclusion. The level of the innovative development of the regions of Russia largely depends on the degree of development of the productive and technological infrastructure. Further progress of the productive and technological component of the regional innovation systems is associated with the development of effective marketing mechanisms for the commercialization of innovations, with the improvement of the quality of education and its focus on the issues of innovation. The results of the research can be used by decision makers to substantiate the diversification of regional innovation systems in accordance with the priority directions of the technological development of the country.

CREATION OF AN INTEGRATED OPEN COWORKING CENTER FOR INNOVATION ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Introduction. The transition to an innovative development model requires a dramatic increase in the share of innovative products and services by activating innovative entrepreneurship, introducing organizational innovations. One of the effective ways of modernizing the economy is the implementation of the attractor of integrated development of innovation infrastructure at four levels: macro level (national innovation system, free economic zones, venture financing); meso-level (creation of business incubators, technoparks, hacking, coworkings); micro-level (funds attraction, outsourcing, intrapreneurship) and nano-level (freelancing; crowdsourcing).The hypothesis of scientific research is based on the assumption that a new understanding of the priorities of educational and innovation policy and the creation of an appropriate institutional environment for the development of the ecosystem "education – science – business" will promote the establishment of equivalent relations between market actors in accordance with national priorities and world trends in scientific and technological development.The purposeof the research is to provide a comprehensive substantiation of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation of a management system of cluster interaction of interactive tools of the innovation chain of knowledge on a new basis, providing the attractor of innovative development of innovation and technological centers of coworking as a platform for the development of educational clusters.The methodology of the research is based on the general scientific methodology – philosophy and system approach, as well as on interdisciplinary methodological approaches – institutional, resource, network and cluster, used in socio-economic sciences.Results. A new approach to the formation of institutional forms of the implementation of innovative entrepreneurship, as well as mechanisms for the formation and functioning of small cluster business structures on the basis (with participation) of university units, allows to provide an efficient transfer of knowledge from the system of education to entrepreneurship in order to provide innovative development as the most entrepreneurial institution of higher education, and cluster action zone.Conclusions. An integrated combination of the proposed approaches to business organization provides introduction of innovative directions of economic activity, creation of additional workplaces, reduction of unemployment, poverty reduction and formation of a stratum of potentially innovative-active people who can create their own business for improving the quality and standard of living of the population.

On Some Paradoxes of the Russian Innovation Infrastruct

This paper analyzes the modern trends in the development of innovation infrastructure (II) in Russia and abroad. An intensive way of development of foreign technology parks is shown, which, acquiring new qualitative features, become centers of innovation at the international level, i.e. they transform to Innovation Centers (IC). The specific features of IC as an institute of innovative economy are marked. The main trend of the development of the Russian innovation infrastructure is shown as an extensive one, relying mainly on a quantitative increase and a partial modernization of the old elements. This is the path generated by contradictions, shortcomings and mistakes in the actions of the state and business. Some paradoxes of the development of the Russian innovation infrastructure are considered: the lack of reliable information about the quantitative configuration of innovation infrastructure, the lack of unified conceptual tools for the system of II elements, effective mechanisms for their interaction, and the innovation’s demand. The main reasons for the emergence of these paradoxes are associated with the lack of a unified (systemic) approach for solving a problems accumulated in the innovation sphere are analyzed. It is shown that the state attempts directed to the development of innovation policy and its financial support, to introduce various mechanisms of interaction between the participants of the innovation process, revive some II elements, as well as the creation of principal new elements, do not bring the expected results. We propose a number of ways for overcoming the existing paradoxes. They include: developing and implementing a single conceptual framework of innovation policy, the state monitoring and reporting system, and linking innovation infrastructure development plans with Federal Strategies and Programs.

РЕЙТИНГУВАННЯ ТРУДОВОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛУ ЯК ІНТЕРАКТИВНИЙ ІНСТРУМЕНТАРІЙ СТИМУЛЮВАННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

The paper offers insights to foreign and domestic studies on building and utilization of labor potential which has revealed the lack of knowledge of innovative labor potential which in modern realia makes the most valuable strategic asset of company development. The current classification of the structural elements of labor potential has been specified and complemented by adding an innovative component which includes physiological, demographic, psychosocial, intellectual, qualification and value-based components. Evaluation of the nature of the innovative labor potential category has allowed to identify its core elements (intellectual and creative) as well as the stages of its implementation: innovative thinking, innovative activity, innovative efforts. The following factors influencing the company innovative labor potential formation have been identified: globalization, modernization and informatization of manufacturing processes, government policy in the area of education and science, national and regional innovation policy, etc. Regional specifics that underpins the local business innovative labor potential has been revealed affecting sector-specific regional development; the level of regional innovative infrastructure development; the education level of the employed population; the availability of business R&D potential; business innovation activity level. The study has also identified the key trends in building and enhancing the company innovative labor potential which traced a decline in active working age population; an increase in the share of employed population with higher and secondary vocational education, etc. The research findings on the degree of innovative activity development of company labor potential have demonstrated: a high education level of the workforce (53% of the employed have higher education degrees; insufficient level of creative activity and utilization of intellectual potential. The conclusions provide evidence on the lack of an effective framework on managing innovative labor potential and ultimately – low innovative capacity in the manufacturing sector. It is argued that the main reasons for underutilization of employee innovative labor potential are the ineffective methods of labor potential management, the lack of a clear motivation and stimulation strategy (50%) along with the failure to use employee creative potential (29%). The proposed model of building an innovative labor potential ranking which combines the capabilities and benefits of rating and rating management allows for reasoned decision-making in a targeted and sound stimulation and motivation of innovative and inventive activities.

АНАЛІЗ СИСТЕМНИХ ВЛАСТИВОСТЕЙ ГАЛУЗЕВИХ КЛАСТЕРІВ У КОНТЕКСТІ РОЗВИТКУ УРБАНІСТИЧНОЇ ІНФРАСТРУКТУРИ

The paper offers insights into the major properties of industry clusters from the systemic approach perspectives, in particular it refers to integrity which suggests the adaptability of the elements properties, that is, the disparity between the overall system properties and the sum of properties of the system building elements. In industry clusters the integrity manifests itself in certain economic and financial aspects. The systemic principle of integrity is fundamental to the formation and management of an industry cluster. The degree of system integrity is determined by the occurrence and significance of its backbone factors. This array of driving systemic factors contributes to boosting the innovation and development within the cluster framework.). When assessing the effects of the integrity principle, the following diametrically opposed properties as progressive factorization (the system approaching a status with more independent elements) and progressive systematization (the tendency of the system to reduce the autonomy of its elements and search for new synergistic effects) have been employed. The increase in progressive factorization reduces the systemic factors capacity, whereas the occurrence of progressive systematization leads to the concentration of businesses in the cluster and thus the intensification of competition through innovation. Along with the principle of integrity the system ability to self-organization and self-development has been evaluated that revealed that on-going organizational change and the system updates to respond to changing external environment and its impact factors gradually contribute to building an adaptation mechanism which ensures the ability to self-organization. The adaptation mechanism is based on such self-organization elements as differentiation (the tendency of the system to the structural and functional diversity of its building elements to manage the contradictions and adapt to changing environment) and volatility (maintaining mobility functions under the system structure sustainability) which includes management hierarchical structure. Rational is provided that at the government level, a priority should be given to the creation of institutions for urban infrastructure development, as the most appropriate innovation and technological centres, which can act as growth points or similar institutions for the national innovation infrastructure development which will enhance cluster formation in different industry segments. Evidence has been provided that innovative industry clusters must involve testing and experimental infrastructure to facilitate innovation implementation into manufacturing. This testing and experimental infrastructure will attract new innovation bearers to the cluster, thus becoming a channel to bring in new investors, strategic partners, suppliers, support industries and related services, that is, experimental infrastructure is the basis for building systemic relationships in a cluster to provide fast transfer of intellectual assets into the real sector of the economy.
