Development of a method for selected financing of scientific and educational institutions through targeted capital investment in the development of innovative technologies

The problem of supporting scientific and educational institutions is considered. A method of selective financing of scientific and educational institutions that create innovative technologies taking into account their investment in innovative developments is proposed. On the basis of statistical data on the indicators for assessing the activities of scientific and educational institutions and the indicator of the innovative potential of a scientific and educational institution from the production of innovations (PNn), their rating was calculated. The essence of PNn is to compare the indicators of the volumes of income of the special fund Dsfn and the volume of expenditures of the scientific and educational institution Vn. In order to stimulate scientific and educational institutions to create innovative technologies, it was proposed to introduce targeted investments. The problem of quantifying the rate of premium on the basis of an integrated approach in terms of indicators of innovative potential from the production of innovations and the rating of a scientific and educational institution for 2 institutions (namely: K and H) has been solved. Institution K will receive a large increase, and institution N will receive a smaller increase, the value of which will be 56.23 % and 43.76 %, respectively. The results showed the independence of the indicator of the innovative potential of a scientific and educational institution from the production of innovations from the previous rating of a scientific and educational institution, or vice versa. The proposed methodology has been tested by an experimental method, targeted investments have been determined based on an integrated approach in terms of indicators of innovative potential and the rating of a scientific and educational institution. This study is of practical interest to government authorities and grantors when allocating funds according to the vector of selective financing of scientific and educational institutions through targeted investments in the development of innovative technologies, and theoretically – to researchers dealing with issues of financial security, protectionism and public administration

An Innovation Profile Model as a Means of Assessing the Innovative Sustainability of a Region (Voronezh Region, Russia)

Aim.The development of an innovation profile model as a means of assessing the innovative sustainability of the region (Voronezh region, Russia).Material and Methods. The study employed system, comparative and economicstatistical methods. Calculations were conducted using MS Excel and Statistica soft‐ ware packages. The database was created in retrospect for the period 2010‐2017. Assessment of innovation sustainability based on the resource approach was undertaken using four groups of resource indicators that characterize the state of technological, human resources, financial and scientific sectors. The effective component was calculated.Results.The results of calculations of the generalizing indicator indicate a sufficiently developed regional innovation system, which has not only the potential for implementing effective innovative sustainable activities but has already achieved effective results. However, there are crisis indicator values such as the share of internal expenditures on researches and development, the index of physical volume of investments in fixed capital and the share of researchers with a degree. In turn, the effective component’s criticality requires the development of certain recommendations that contribute to the effective use of existing potential.Conclusion.A solution to an actual practice‐oriented issue in the field of socioeconomic and geographical research is presented: a developed innovation profile model which makes it possible to determine the degree of innovation sustainability of the region quickly and reliably. Assessment of the indicators of innovative potential of this region made it possible to identify the ‘strengths and weaknesses’ of the innovation system of the Voronezh region comprehensively and adequately and to determine the principal future strategic objectives.

Phenomenon of Boundary in Determination of Innovative Potential of Personality

On the basis of theoretical analysis of the scientific psychological literature, the article defines the phenomenon of the boundary in determining the innovative potential of the personality, The author identifies that the qualitative originality of the boundary phenomenon demonstration in determining a high level of the innovative potential of the personality is associated with such individual psychological characteristics as value orientations, creativity, temporary competence, desire for self-actualization, need for cognition, spontaneity. The single direct link to synergy is made at the low level of IPP. The «boundary» allocation at the high and low levels of IPP allows to differentiate the groups of relationships of the certain personal qualities and indicators of the personal innovative potential. By characterizing the existence of the close statistically significant links between the individual and personal characteristics of respondents with an integral indicator of the innovative potential of the personality, it is made possible to compile a psychological portrait of the innovator. The art of defining the «boundary» becomes actual by establishing the interrelationships of these individual psychological characteristics with the features of the manifestation of the innovative potential of the personality.

INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF TECHNOLOGICAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF UKRAINIAN REGIONS: THEORETICAL-METHODICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS�

Topicality. The question of the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship in the region today is extremely relevant, since in modern conditions it is technological entrepreneurship that becomes a decisive factor in the development of the regional economy. However, many of the problems associated with identifying the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship, as well as the methodology for its evaluation on the meso-level, remain unresolved. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and methodical provisions and practical recommendations for assessing the level of innovation potential of technological entrepreneurship in the regions of Ukraine. Research results. The article outlines the author's vision of the theoretical and methodological approach to researching the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship on the meso-level. Author's vision of the essence of the category "innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship in the region" is given on the basis of the system approach, taking into account the structure of interconnections between the elements of the technological entrepreneurship system. The quantitative and qualitative parameters of the development of innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship in the region are proposed to be considered within the framework of two subsystems: innovative personnel potential of technological entrepreneurship (vocational, scientific and research) and economical and ecological (infrastructure, production, investment-financial, market and ecological). It is recommended to quantify the level of innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship in the region on the basis of integrated indicators. The eight-step structure of data integral indexes is given, the algorithm of their calculation and the methodical approach to identifying the level of innovation potential of technological entrepreneurship of the region by means of an estimation scale are given. An information database was formed for calculation of integrated indicators of innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship on the meso-level and the economic burden of each of them was disclosed. The range of users of this methodical approach is indicated. An integrated assessment of the potential of technological entrepreneurship, such as: human potential, economic-ecological and innovative, is carried out according to the regions of Ukraine. In order to improve the level of provision of regions with the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship, it is proposed to develop an economic mechanism for ensuring the effective use of the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship at the regional level. Conclusions. The extremely low level of innovation potential of technological entrepreneurship in the regions of Ukraine suggests the need to develop an economic mechanism for ensuring the effective use of the innovative potential of technological entrepreneurship at the regional level.

The Post-2010 Lisbon Process: The Key Role of Education in Employment and Competitiveness

This paper points out that education should be the central objective of the post-2010 Lisbon Process. Compared to other OECD countries, the member states of the European Union perform poorly when it comes to key indicators of innovative potential, such as the percentage of students enrolled in tertiary education and the educational quality of Europe’s students. Education makes a three-fold contribution to a country’s economic health. First it is beneficial for employment rates, second it is a key driver for long-term economic growth and third it appears to be beneficial for social cohesion. It will be crucial for European countries to attain higher levels of tertiary education and increase the quality of their education.

Innovation and the ‘Dark Side’ of Personality: Dysfunctional Traits and their Relation to Self‐Reported Innovative Characteristics

AbstractThis paper explores the relationship between self‐reported innovative characteristics and dysfunctional personality traits. Participants (N = 207) from a range of occupations completed the Innovation Potential Indicator (IPI) and the Hogan Development Survey (HDS). Those who reported innovative characteristics also reported the following dysfunctional traits: Arrogant, Manipulative, Dramatic, Eccentric; and lower levels of Cautious, Perfectionist and Dependent. A representative approximation of the higher order factor “moving against people” (Hogan & Hogan, 1997) was positively associated with innovative characteristics. It is concluded that innovation potential may be viewed as a positive effect of some otherwise dysfunctional traits, most notably those encompassed under the second‐order HDS factor ‘moving against people’.

Selecting for Creativity and Innovation: The relationship between the innovation potential indicator and the team selection inventory

This article describes a study carried out to investigate the relationship between individual scores on the Innovation Potential Indicator (IPI), a measure of individual innovation behaviors for use in personnel selection, and the Team Selection Inventory (TSI), an individual‐level measure of a person's preferred team‐working climate for innovation. Results from a sample of 142 Greek employees found that the Motivation to Change scale of the IPI positively correlated with all of the TSI scales, and that the Adaptation scale positively correlated with the TSI's Vision and Task Orientation scales. Findings are discussed.
