The application of HRM systems to enhance the innovation activities of foreign SMEs

Human resource management (HRM) systems can substantially influence an organization’s innovation and internationalization activities. This paper investigates the application of different HRM systems amongst foreign-owned, internationally-operating small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and how they relate to different innovation activities. We draw on qualitative data from 33 Australian SMEs doing business in China. Our findings illustrate that most SMEs utilize commitment-based HRM practices, closely aligned with SMEs’ product, process, organization, service, and marketing innovations. Some SMEs used collaboration-based HRM practices which tended to be more aligned with organizational and process innovation activities. Some SMEs also exhibited a combination of commitment- and collaboration-based HRM systems focused on developing an internal workforce with innate capability, creativity, and commitment, while building external relationships, collaborative networks and strategic partnerships. We argue that the configuration of HRM systems appears important in supporting foreign SMEs to enhance innovative activities which are important for survival in complex contexts.

ON THE ISSUE OF TACTICAL MANAGEMENT TOOLS FOR MODERNIZATION OF COMPANIES IN THE REAL ECONOMY UNDER THE CURRENT ANTI-RUSSIAN SANCTIONS

The purpose of the article is to work out recommendations on the use of tactical management tools for the modernization of the real economy in the context of sanctions pressure. Under these conditions, a special role is given to digital transformation technologies, which provide opportunities for the effective functioning of organizations in different sectors of the economy, including manufacturing industries. One of the key elements of tactical management of companies is the use of API (Application Programming Interface). APIs enable effective integration of various information systems and data exchange between them, which is an integral component of digital transformation. Also, feedback communication between companies and customers, partners and regulators play an important role in tactical management of modernization. Regular feedback allows the company's strategies and actions to be adapted according to the changing market situation. Feedback can be used to increase the innovation activity of organizations and stimulate modernization of manufacturing. As a result of the study, the features of strategic and tactical management were identified based on the analysis of scientific Russian and foreign literature, recommendations on the use of API and feedback as means of tactical management in the real sector were substantiated.

Defining the prerequisites for effective innovative activity of Ukrainian organizations in the context of acquiring competence on the European market

The object of research is the innovative activity of organizations. Papers that consider the assessment of the benefits of Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU) ignore innovation activity in the context of acquiring competence for the integration of organizations into the European space. This predetermined the study to assess the state and prerequisites for effective innovation activity of Ukrainian organizations. An uneven concentration of innovative organizations by types of economic activity has been determined, which is explained by imperfect mechanisms for regulating regional development. The negative dynamics of the science intensity of the gross domestic product (GDP) of Ukraine (by 0.32 %), its lowest level among the EU countries (0.99 %) were noted. This makes it impossible to compete with supplier countries of new technologies and products with a high degree of added value. A reduction in the cost of fundamental research and the number of innovative organizations (by 72.09 %), a decrease in the number of employees engaged in scientific research was identified. The smallest amounts of funding for employee training in accordance with EU requirements have been determined, which reduces the competitiveness of the economy. A distinctive feature of the study is its standpoint of the influence of indicators on the formation of conditions for the acquisition of competence by organizations in the European market. This means the technological renewal of production, intensification of research into the latest areas of science, achievement of intellectual leadership, reorientation of finance to investment in human capital. The results are useful for executives who, on the way to joining the European space, seek to successfully overcome the barriers of the world's largest market owing to organizational competence

How does knowledge hiding play a role in the relationship between leader–member exchange differentiation and employee creativity? A cross-level model

PurposeEmployees’ knowledge management, which influences creativity, is a pivotal resource in organizational innovation activities, as it helps activate the knowledge resource pool and improves knowledge flow. Using social information processing theory, this study aims to construct a cross-level model to examine how knowledge hiding plays a role in the relationship between leader–member exchange differentiation (LMXD) and employee creativity.Design/methodology/approachThis study surveyed 754 leader–employee matching samples from 127 teams in China innovation enterprises at two time points. Confirmatory factor analysis, convergent analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrapping method by SPSS and AMOS were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe empirical results demonstrate the cross-level model’s efficiency and reveal the following findings: Team-level LMXD is negatively related to employee creativity, whereas it is positively related to knowledge hiding; knowledge hiding is negatively associated with employee creativity; thus, knowledge hiding plays a mediating role in the relationships between them.Originality/valueBased on the knowledge-hiding perspective, this study analyzed an underlying mechanism between LMXD and employee creativity, thereby further enriching the literature on the influence of knowledge management. This proposed connection has not been established previously. Moreover, the findings respond to the reasons for the inconsistent conclusions of previous literature on the cross-level relationship between LMXD and employee creativity based on the social information processing theory. It thus clarifies the cross-level influence path, as well as provides a theoretical basis for further research on the relationship between the two.

DETERMINATION OF TECHNOPARK ACTIVITY BY REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE ACTS

Relevance. Technoparks are one of the most important ways to form a partnership between the state, business, science and education. This voluntary union, on the one hand, arises on the initiative of any of the subjects of the partnership and this active subject carries out a preliminary examination of possible participants in joint activities, assuming that they already have an interest in the declared subject of interaction, or is convinced that in order to solve the problem of interest to him, it is necessary to expand the search for possible partners. The preliminary discussion of joint activities is framed in the form of a project, which is determined by the innovative nature of the future interaction. However, in order to start joint activities of the future team, it is necessary to work out in advance the legislative framework that ensures the legitimacy of future actions of the partnership entities. It is clear that the source of this kind of legislative foundation is the state. If, during the preliminary examination, such moments are discovered, the implementation of which requires further expansion of the legislative framework, the partnership acts as a customer applying to the state body with an initiative to expand the legislative framework. As stated in the normative legal acts, in order to create the necessary regulatory framework corresponding to the type of activity of partner organizations, it is necessary to have a clear definition of such an organization, taking into account its specific features that determine its structure, goals and participants. Therefore, it is important to clarify the concept of a technopark. In the regulatory framework, we are talking about industrial parks, but in accordance with the explanations offered in the regulatory legal acts, such remarks should also be attributed to technoparks as more complex organizations of partner activity: «It was difficult to call such sites industrial parks, since at that time there was not even a terminological unity in the concept of «industrial park», not to mention determining the compliance of a legal entity with the criteria of an industrial park management company, typologies of industrial parks and minimum requirements for the site itself. The development of a regulatory framework is important for any branch of the economy. Without the formalization and institutionalization of economic phenomena, the emergence of state support measures, the evaluation of performance and the creation of development strategies are impossible» [14, p. 6].
 Purpose, materials and methods. Among the unprocessed regulations are issues related to the drafting of contracts between partners regarding in which financial, intellectual, material, production, professional and performing parts the partners record their participation in joint activities. In addition, the issues of the distribution of possible risks for different partners are not balanced and are expressed in different forms: financial, commercial, prestigious, etc. A uniform and systematic legislative framework in this area of technopark activity also needs to be developed.
 At the present stage of innovation activity, there is no comprehensive systematic approach to ensuring reliable forms of partnership interaction from the point of view of comprehensive provision of its activities with legislative and legal regulations and norms, since we are talking about innovation activity, which in itself implies variability and constant development of science, production, education and training. Due to these circumstances, it is necessary to identify possible common forms, rules, laws, on the basis of which technoparks as ways of a synergistic union of the state, science, production, education are developed for the purpose of innovative development of the country. In this article, the author tries to identify the problems faced by the organization of innovation activities in the form of a technopark.
 The results of the study. The article shows that the role of the state is necessary and ubiquitous in the organization of innovative activities, but it is expressed differently depending on the type of partnership: in general, first of all, the state forms the legislative and legal basis for all new forms of activity, and in other cases its participation is partial along with other subjects of partnership. Since the imbalance of risks in a partnership is inevitable, compensation issues should be negotiated when forming a new union between the subjects of joint activity. It is also important to understand the need to redistribute managerial functions as specific tasks are solved in the process of project implementation.

Green Technologies and diversity in the knowledge search and output phases: Evidence from European Patents

The aim of this study is to investigate technological diversity in the knowledge search and the knowledge output stages of the green inventive process. Exploiting a large sample of European patent data, from 1980 to 2013, the paper explores the degree of diversity in green inventions, comparing the recombinant features of green technologies with a control sample of non-green technologies selected through propensity score matching techniques. Empirical results suggest that green technologies show a higher degree of diversity of the knowledge sources and a higher technological diversity in how knowledge is effectively recombined. We further find that the green diversity premium is higher in the knowledge output phase than in the knowledge search phase. We conclude that the assessment of the role of technological diversity along the different phases of the invention process may improve the appropriate organization of innovative activities and policy design necessary for stimulating green technological developments and support a feasible sustainable transition.

Инновационное развитие сельского хозяйства России: современное состояние и меры поддержки

The relevance of the research lies in the need to overcome the dependence of Russian agriculture on imports of foreign technologies. The country has problems with effective interaction between enterprises and research institutions in R&D, knowledge sharing and commercialization and possibly marketing activities. The aim is to identify the factors that hinder the innovative development of agriculture in Russia through support, and to propose measures to improve its effectiveness. The current number of results of intellectual activities is not sufficient for Russia with such a large potential of agro-industrial sector. Its positive dynamics is due to the low base effect and increased government funding of scientific organizations.

Tax Incentives, Tax Enforcement, and Enterprise R&D Investment: Evidence From Chinese A-Share Listed.

This study investigates the relationship between tax incentives, tax enforcement, and R&D investment in Chinese enterprises. Tax compliance is an important part of organizational behavioral psychology, which will impact organizational innovation activities. Therefore, the present study utilizes the panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies collected from the China Stock Market & Accounting Research (CSMAR) database from 2011 to 2020 to conduct empirical research. It tests the policy effect of tax incentives on enterprise R&D investment and examines the impact of tax enforcement on enterprise R&D behavior and its moderating effect on the relationship between tax incentives and enterprise R&D investment. The results show that China’s preferential tax policies positively affect enterprise innovation activities, and stable and continuous tax incentives can stimulate enterprises to increase R&D investment. Increasing the intensity of tax enforcement has a significant positive impact on enterprise R&D investment, which means that the promotion effect of “governance effect” and “incentive effect” caused by tax enforcement may exceed the negative impact brought by its “taxation effect” and “rent-seeking effect.” The study suggests that with the strengthening of tax enforcement, the promotion effect of tax incentives is weakened, which is only reflected in non-state-owned enterprises. Finally, we propose relevant policy recommendations based on the research results. This includes further optimizing the collocation of tax types and preferential methods, encouraging enterprises to face up to the role of tax enforcement as an external governance mechanism, and promoting the tax department to standardize the enforcement process and taxation services. The paper presents a range of theoretical and practical implications for both firm managers and policymakers.

Мировые рейтинги как инструмент оценки эффективности инвестиций в инновации и выбора стратегии развития

The article discusses the methods of compiling world rankings related to innovation activity and doing business, in particular, the Global Innovation Index, the Bloomberg Innovation Index Rating of Innovative Economies, the Ranking of countries in the world by the level of global competitiveness according to the World Economic Forum and the Institute of Management, the Doing Business Rating. A factor-by-factor analysis of the position of the Russian Federation in these ratings for a certain time period has been carried out, the strengths and weaknesses of the innovation system in Russia have been investigated. Data from almost all ratings indicate that Russia's position in the innovation activity ratings has been improving since 2010, and there is potential for further growth. It is concluded that Russia produces fewer innovative products compared to the level of investment in innovation. The comparison of individual statistical indicators in the field of innovative development of Russia with similar indicators of foreign countries is carried out. Russia demonstrates high positions in terms of the number and quality of personnel engaged in research and development, but the level of wages, social benefits and comfort of the living environment of scientists and developers is inferior to developed countries. The level of funding for science, research, innovation activity of organizations, as well as the development of innovative entrepreneurship is lower than in the leading countries of innovation ratings. In Russia, there is a negative balance of payments for technology. The introduction of unprecedented sanctions affecting various aspects of the social, economic, and technological spheres aggravates the impact of negative factors on Russia’s innovation system. In the current situation, the issues of import substitution, ensuring the country’s independence from foreign technologies, developments, as well as providing support to innovative companies, talented youth and qualified specialists, overcoming the negative trend of the outflow of scientific personnel are becoming even more urgent. There is provided an up-to-date list of short- and long-term measures to support and stimulate the development of economic sectors, innovative business, scientific human resources and highly qualified specialists.

The Tax Burden as One of the Conditions Contributing to the Shadow Economy in the Russian Regions

The article is devoted to the study of conditions conducive to the growth of the shadow economy in Russian regions. Special attention is paid to assessing the impact of the tax burden on the scale of the shadow economy. The article is devoted to the study of the shadow economy in the Russian regions. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics by Russian regions with a high level of the shadow economy. In the study the methods of correlation analysis, factor analysis, and cluster analysis were used. The research revealed an inverse correlation between the amount of shadow employment and the level of the tax burden. In the regions with a low level of tax burden, a significant level of shadow employment is usually observed. There is also an inverse correlation between the value of shadow employment and labor productivity, measured by the value of Gross Regional Product (GRP) per capita. An inverse correlation was found between the scale of the shadow economy and the level of development of innovation processes in the region, which is measured by the number of advanced production technologies used per capita and the level of innovation activity of organizations. The study revealed an inverse correlation between the level of shadow employment and the share of industries in GRP, the correlation coefficient in 2019 was –0.5198. A direct correlation was found between the level of shadow employment and the share of social sectors in GRP, in 2019 the correlation coefficient was 0,5890. The obtained results allowed us to identify the factors that favor the growth of the shadow economy. Among them, the backlog of the regions in economic and innovative development comes to the fore. The research findings can be used by the state authorities for developing regional economic policies aimed to reduce the scale of the shadow economy.

Formation and development of factors influencing the innovative potential of the organization

Innovation management and innovation capacity enhancement are becoming one of the most important and significant issues in modern science and practice. The study of the influence of transformational leadership on innovation potential has shown the possibilities of providing an understanding of the cause-and-effect relationships between them and their subsequent impact on the performance indicators of ecronomic systems of the «organization» type. Deepening the relationship between transformational leadership and the attributes of innovative activity of organizations supports and develops human capital and maintains a high socio-psychological climate of collectives and processes in the economic environment.

Dynamics of Innovation Activity in the Context of the Narrative Economics Approach

The purpose of this paper is the explanation of the dynamics of innovation activity in Russia (on the example of the level of innovation activity of organizations) and identification of the problems for innovative development, based on the methodology of narrative institutional analysis. Research methods are narrative and content analysis, a graphical method for displaying statistical data. The study formulates the differences in the interpretation and methods of analysis of narratives between the narrative economy (in the tradition of R. Schiller) and the narrative analysis in other social sciences. The application of the approach of narrative economics to the study of the Russian innovation system provides a study of narratives that combines the qualitative and quantitative research methods. Narratives in R. Schiller’s approach are interpreted as stories or expressed explanations of events, discussed in conversations, news, and social media to stimulate interest or demonstrate emotions. The problem of interrelation between the narratives about the innovation activity and the indicators of the innovation activity is considered. The distinction between the direct and indirect influence of narratives on indicators of innovative activity is proposed. The direct influence of narratives on the indicators of innovation activity may include modifying the methods for calculating indicators. The indirect influence of narratives on the indicators of innovation activity may include modifying the motivation and level of activity of the actors of the national innovation system. The observed dynamics of indicators of innovative activity indicate its stagnation, at the same time, the volume of discussion in the media about innovations is increasing. The paper discusses possible reasons that impede the strengthening of innovative development. The main focus is on assessing the importance of the problem of business demand for innovations and commercialization of innovations. The paper formulates a theoretical framework that summarizes the types of problems that may arise during the implementation of innovative activities. There are five types of problems that may arise during the implementation of innovative activities. The first type of the problems is caused by government compulsion, institutional constraints and intervention in economic activity. The second type of problem is caused by the opportunism of individuals who are selfish at any cost and are capable for violating rules and agreements. The third type of problem is associated with the difficulty of coordination and adapting the plans of free individuals, each of whom has only a part of the common knowledge that should be used in economic activity. The fourth type of problems is the lack of resources and knowledge for innovation; it is well studied by economic science. The fifth type of problems is the inability of individuals to make the optimal choice; in relation to the Russian innovation system, this is only a hypothesis and has not yet been studied. The first three «ideal types» of problems are incorporated in the narrative of the low demand for innovation from the business side.
