The priorities of Ukrainian government policy are the strategic objectives of integrated development of the industrial and social spheres, harmonious and active inclusion in the global and pan-European integration processes in order to provide a high level of social responsibility of the labour potential. The innovation strategy regarding social responsibility, which is widely used by industrial corporations, envisages acquisition of competitive advantages through social innovations, creation of fundamentally new goods and technologies, using new methods to meet existing conscious or unconscious needs. Innovation systems are shaped by many factors that are objectively determined for each country and for each enterprise, including their size, availability of resources, including human capital, historical development of state institutions and forms of entrepreneurship. These factors play a huge role in evolution of innovation activity, including social innovations. The most important studies include studies of economic growth factors, development of economic equilibrium models, investment cycle theory, investment impulse theory, institutional model of competitive advantages, various models of national competitiveness and international capital movement. The social environment of an effectively working enterprise, if it timely experiences the necessary modernization, is not a source of economic disadvantage either for the staff of the enterprise or its owner, it’s a possible loss of manageability of the social and economic component of enterprises, a lack of social innovations caused by a sharp deterioration of the economic conditions of enterprises during the energy crisis. A lack of social innovation reinforces a number of distortions in the reproduced structure of capital investments.
