ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ЯКОСТІ ОСВІТИ В ДИСТАНЦІЙНОМУ ПРОСТОРІ

The most important mental development of digital innovations in the initial process is awareness of the importance and prospects of the significance of innovations for the lighting sector, readiness for the introduction and availability of digital lighting media in practice and lighting installations. The main task of management is to create favorable external and internal minds for the implementation of this area of innovative activity, digitalization and recovery of all available resources iv. The analysis of the problem in theory and practice allows us to note that for the creation of these minds in the educational sphere, there is a need for adequate training within the framework of additional education, advanced qualifications, and direct development readiness to manage large-scale innovative projects. Social demand for innovative education, which is primarily driven by the development of the digital economy, which will require the transformation of all levels of education, informal and professional, political, social, Ideological and cultural insights in connection with the current global situation, in the context of such coverage acts as the basis for the mechanism for the development of human capital and innovative partnership. The implementation of innovations associated with the development of the digital lighting medium can be carried out in such a way as not to become a self-commitment for which all other areas of life and lighting are forgotten ї organization. Who likes the system-process approach to management, which, while focusing on a strategic innovation task, does not lose respect for all other processes that are carried out in the light organization. The criterion for the effectiveness of digital innovation is not simply the establishment of a new installation, but the increase in awareness, the advancement of methodological capabilities, and the effective management of new information resources by the team. The field of lighting recognizes major difficulties in managing innovative processes aimed at implementing digital transformation programs for lighting processes.

Соціально-психологічні причини деструктивних аспектів розвитку інноваційних спільнот на локальному рівні

In the conditions of decentralization and changes in the social paradigm, creating unique breakthrough ideas regarding transforming the region into an innovative territory is of particular importance. Innovative communities have a unique potential in these conditions – a new type of relationship between the government, business, and civil society. However, in transformational and crisis societies, the creation and development of innovative communities are associated with a significant range of problems that need to be solved. A significant part of these problems has socio-psychological reasons, which often lead to destructive actions, significantly reducing the potential of innovative communities. The study aims to determine the socio-psychological reasons for the destructive aspects of the development of innovative communities at the local level and to develop proposals for increasing the effectiveness of the innovative communities’ development at the local level, considering the potential of using the archetypal methodology. The research goals are also to determine the factors of implementing innovation models in communities and to focus on overcoming problematic aspects in this field. Modern approaches to the definition of innovations were considered to determine the features of the development of innovative communities. It has been determined that innovation is a social process; therefore, the most crucial thing for innovation is to create an appropriate innovation climate based on safety and trust, in which people feel involved and are not afraid to express new ideas. This is especially important since innovations, especially the most radical and systemic, relate to the need to go against orthodox opinions to offer other forms of work and cooperation. Therefore, when managing innovative processes, it is necessary to consider the factor of human behaviour and understand how to encourage people to show initiative, put forward new ideas, and motivate and encourage their implementation. It is substantiated that it is vital for the public administration field that innovation’s success depends not only on the manager’s role in the process but primarily on the performers and participants (human resources). In this regard, the innovative community as a new form of organizational development is one of the most positive in innovation. It was determined that innovative communities could unite a wide range of stakeholders and be divided according to geographical or thematic principles. Community members freely share knowledge, resulting in new approaches, ideas, and talent retention and development. People are kept together only by a sense of involvement in collective experience and knowledge, a sincere desire to maintain relationships, and mutual obligations remain. Innovative communities, when they unite individuals and entire teams, can implement large-scale innovative projects. It is shown that any innovative community is formed on a specific basis. It is based on individual or collective creativity, ambition, spirit, and intellectual history of the place (heredity, archetypes). Ambition, spirit, and intelligence presuppose risk-taking ability and a track record in management. Only after the emergence of this combination of economic, resource and management factors, such as business incubation, project financing, creation of intensive horizontal connections between all participants, infrastructure, etc., are involved. From the point of view of destructive behaviour, the peculiarities of the innovation process are considered. It is also shown that innovation is a positive process according to the generally accepted position. Still, it is necessary to remember the other side, that innovation is a forced measure necessary to maintain or respond to changes. It is substantiated that it is necessary to agree on the scope of application and the duration of their existence to eliminate the factors of destructive behaviour when creating innovative communities. It has been determined that one of the leading causes of destructive actions within innovative communities is excessively rigid expectations, an excessive degree of subjective certainty that exceeds objective predictability.

PRIORITY AREAS OF INNOVATION IN CORPORATE STRATEGIES OF MULTINATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES IN GLOBAL COORDINATES

The purpose of the article is to substantiate global trends in the research and innovation activities of multinational pharmaceutical companies and to identify key directions of transformation in corporate innovation strategies in the context of increased international competition in the global pharmaceutical market. Methodology. The methodological basis of the work is the following methods of scientific research: dialectical, historical-logical, system-structural analysis of economic processes and phenomena, analysis and synthesis, the method of quantitative and qualitative comparisons. Results. One of the key global sustainable development goals of the United Nations for the period up to 2030 is to ensure the health and well-being of nations, which in global terms can be achieved primarily on the basis of the large-scale research activities of multinational pharmaceutical companies and the systematic commercialisation of the results of corporate research and development. In recent decades, under the influence of technoglobalisation processes, the innovatisation of pharmaceutical companies' activities has accelerated. It finds its concentrated expression in the steady increase of R&D costs, diversification of their structure, mass commercialisation of innovative developments and strengthening of their transdisciplinarity, accelerated capitalisation of R&D costs, etc. According to the world experience, the most effective innovative strategies of pharmaceutical companies today are such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, innovative outsourcing and insourcing, cointegration and pseudo-concentration, corporatisation of patent portfolios and research technologies, venture financing of R&D of pharmaceutical companies. At the same time, mergers and acquisitions are increasing the capitalisation of the global pharmaceutical industry, strengthening its expansion into global markets, redistributing its regional segments and diversifying the sources of funding for pharmaceutical companies' research activities. Value/оriginality. Current trends and features of corporate strategy formation in multinational pharmaceutical companies are identified. Strategic orientations of research activities of pharmaceutical companies in specialised areas of clinical research in the context of therapeutic categories are determined. The process of capitalisation of pharmaceutical companies is analysed and the tendency to activate the use of corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy in the pharmaceutical business is revealed. It is proposed to create strategic alliances of multifunctional pharmaceutical companies with biotech companies using the M&A strategy. It is recommended that pharmaceutical companies strengthen their innovation orientation in the design of their strategies by combining patent portfolios and research technologies, as well as jointly implementing large-scale innovation programmes and projects.

Artificial Intelligence Enabled Demand Response: Prospects and Challenges in Smart Grid Environment

Demand Response (DR) has gained popularity in recent years as a practical strategy to increase the sustainability of energy systems while reducing associated costs. Despite this, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), have recently developed as critical technologies for demand-side management and response due to the high complexity of tasks associated with DR, as well as huge amount of data management to take decisions very near to real time implications. Selecting the best group of users to respond, learning their attitude toward consumptions and their priorities, price optimization, monitoring and control of devices, learning to engage more and more consumers in the DR schemes, and learning how to remunerate them fairly and economically are all problems that can be tackled with the help of AI techniques. This study presents an overview of AI approaches used for DR applications. Both the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithm(s) are employed while discussing commercial efforts (from both new and existing businesses) and large-scale innovation projects that have applied AI technologies for energy DR. Different kind of DR programs implemented in different countries are also discussed. Moreover, it also discusses the application of blockchain for DR schemes in smart grid paradigm. Discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated AI methods for various DR tasks, as well as suggestions for further study, round out the work.

An Evolutionary Analysis of the Development of the One North Innovation District in Singapore

First conceptualised in Singapore’s first National Technology Plan in 1991, the idea of creating a new integrated R&D and innovation hub in Singapore languished until it was incorporated into a broader Technopreneurship 21 (T21) strategy announced in 1998, and was officially launched in late 2001. In the 20 years since, the innovation district has made significant development progress, but not quite in the manner as presented in a number of prior studies that have adopted a “top-down rational planning” narrative. Taking an evolutionary view, we argue that the actual development of One-North was significantly shaped by a number of critical actors as well as external environmental factors, and its evolutionary trajectory deviated from its original plan. Our evolutionary narrative provides insights on the role of champions in large scale innovation projects, and the need to integrate physical space development within a comprehensive innovation ecosystem development strategy.

Инновационная активность российских предприятий с 2010 по 2020 г. по данным Росстата РФ

In modern conditions, there is a large-scale transformation of the Russian economy in the direction of its digitalization, accordingly, the innovative activity of enterprises and organizations is of particular importance. This work is devoted to the assessment of the dynamics of innovation activity of Russian enterprises for the period from 2010 to 2020 according to Rosstat of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the main indicators of innovation activity indicates that the level of innovation activity in the whole country is low, and most of the indicators show negative dynamics, which jeopardizes the implementation of many large-scale innovative projects. The results of the study can be used in planning and adjusting federal and regional programs for digitalization of certain industries and areas of activity.

The Implementation E-Government to Increase Democratic Participation: The Use of Mobile Government

As information and technology develop the use of technology in various sectors has increased, including in the governance sector. Electronic governance was on the rise, especially with the limited mobility and social interaction restrictions during international health crises. Electronic government studies the use of information and communication technology within the public sector and holds the potentials of transformational government. The adoption of electronic governance in the public sector has created a revolution in the government’s administration and contributed to the improvement of accountability, efficiency, and transparency. The rationality of electronic governance is often associated with the increase of democratic participation through electronic government framework, involving a series of large-scale innovation projects and system that is technology-oriented. Through literature study, the researcher tried to analyze the implementation of electronic government to increase democratic participation through the use of mobile government by elaborating the functions electronic government can offers. The study reveals that electronic governance could provide open government data that opened a forum for citizens to debate over the issue concerning the government’s system that may solve several issues such as the low number of democratic participation and corruption.

УПРАВЛЕНИЕ ИННОВАЦИЯМИ В НЕФТЕГАЗОВОМ СЕКТОРЕ РЕСПУБЛИКИ КАЗАХСТАН: ПРОБЛЕМЫ И ПУТИ РЕШЕНИЯ

The purpose of the study is to analyze the current state and problems of innovation management in the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in general, and in the oil-extracting sector, in particular. To solve the goals and objectives of the research, the following scientific methods were used: a set of systemic, logical and statistical methods, analysis of the results of the country’s innovative development. Used materials of state statistics bodies, data from the literature of Kazakhstani economic science. The analysis was carried out on the basis of studying information from open sources. Based on the use of the above methods, conclusions are formulated about the current state and problems of innovation management in the oil-extracting sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results of the study are the provisions on the problems in the effectiveness of innovation management in the oil and gas industry. The conclusion is made about the insufficient level of innovative planning and management in comparison with world standards, despite the introduction of a number of government measures. The special importance of the problem under consideration is reflected, since the oil and gas sector today forms the basis of the Kazakhstani economy, forming the financial basis of the country’s state budget and having the opportunity to implement large-scale innovative projects. Attention is focused on the issue of a gradual departure from the raw material orientation and the transition to a state with a developed innovative economy. The contradictions between the growth of investment in industry and the weak efficiency of the implementation of innovative approaches in management are shown. The idea of developing and implementing a model for improving the management of innovative activities of companies in the oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan at the state level is proposed.

Фармацевтика України: від залежності до ендогенного розвитку

The article substantiates various theoretical and applied principles of developing high-tech pharmaceutical industries (HTPI). It is established that the key problem of developing countries in this area is the dependence on resources and markets of developed countries, while the involvement of advanced foreign technologies can be a catalyst for increasing the technological potential of host countries (subject to the availability of proper knowledge and human capital, changes in the institutional environment, and improved the framework conditions for innovation). In the context of the development of HTPI, the author shows the importance of the network nature of the acquisition by pharmaceutical companies of sustainable competitive advantages based on resources that are difficult to simulate or replace. It is substantiated that networks built with local research institutions, higher education institutions, and research units of other companies, give pharmaceutical manufacturers the opportunity to access complementary assets and become their specific resource, which provides unique competitive advantages. The author reveals various methodological and statistical features of the categorization of industries by the level of technology in the conditions of globalization. It is substantiated that the current low value of the ratio of research and development (R&D) to value-added generated by pharmaceuticals of individual countries is not a sign of the industry’s low technological level, as the current revenues are the result of long-term R&D and harmonization procedures for launching new drugs with lags of 10-15 years. A new tool for the study of international trade in high-tech pharmaceuticals is proposed, whose peculiar feature consists in the categorization of nomenclature items by end use; the List of high-tech medical and pharmaceutical intermediate goods is formulated (in accordance with SITC Rev.4 and UKT FEA); the following indicators are proposed: the coefficient of import dependence of pharmaceutical production, the coefficient of "purified" exports of pharmaceutical products and the coefficient of imports coverage with HTPI output, and the formulas for their calculation are provided. The author's approach is the first to create the opportunity to assess the scale of costs and the dependence of the pharmaceutical industry on imported components that embody advanced technologies and are the industrial supplies for HTPI. It was found that in Ukraine the share of foreign intermediate high-tech goods in the consumption of the industry reaches 82.2%; the industry, working on imported substances, produces mainly products for the domestic market, without earning foreign currency, even to cover the cost of purchasing the necessary ingredients; manufacturers do not rely on synthesized chemical products of domestic production, primarily due to the fact that the products of the chemical industry for the needs of pharmaceuticals in Ukraine are virtually non-existent; and the increase in output depends on foreign technologies and intermediate goods. It is substantiated that Ukraine’s pharmaceutical industry is critically dependent on imported supplies to ensure the smooth operation of enterprises and the healthcare industry. Key endogenous barriers that hinder the development of HTPI have been identified, including problems in the training of specialists and a lack of scientists whose competencies would contribute to solving the problems of endogenous development of the industry; lack of state aid to business entities for research, and technological and innovative activities; lack of own funds to increase expenditures on R&D and implementation of large-scale investment and innovation projects; and lack of cheap loans, due to which Ukrainian pharmaceutical manufacturers find themselves in unequal conditions compared to foreign competitors. Conceptual bases of HTPI development in Ukraine are proposed; justified the expediency of legal changes, definition of strategic priorities and introduction of measures of development of HTPI in Ukraine based on the comprehensive approach, which will cover creation and development of pharmaceutical ingredients for medicines (chemical and biotechnological goods), medical products, fillers, packing materials, machinery and equipment for pharmaceuticals to help reduce the dependence on foreign technologies, and to increase the level of production localization, employment and revenues to the budgets of all levels.

Ukraine's pharmaceuticals: from dependence to endogenous development

THE INTRODUCTION OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE IN UKRAINE

The article identifies the main conditions and problems of introducing energy-efficient technologies for business in Ukraine and considers the design experience of building green commercial buildings that have been erected in recent years (innovative parks UNIT.City in Kiev and LvivTech.City in Lviv, on the Sobachie mouth peninsula, Astarta Business Center in Kiev, etc.) It has been established that the main problem of introducing energy-efficient technologies in public commercial projects is the insufficient participation of the state in financing and stimulating business. To establish this process, it is necessary to amend the legislation on land, on technology parks, on the procedure for taxation and subsidies to enterprises that develop energy-efficient technologies in construction at different levels. The features of Ukrainian development and the dependence of the profitability of the building on the quality of the architectural solution are considered. It has been found that energy-efficient technologies are of interest only to a small fraction of commercial real estate developers who are focused on the development of the IT industry. To be able to deploy economically feasible energy-efficient commercial projects in other sectors, both state support and business entry into foreign investment markets will need additional guarantees and reduce the risk of waiting for a 10-15-year payback period for large-scale innovative projects. It was revealed that the IT industry has become a catalyst for the development of innovations in the field of energy-efficient construction. Thanks to it, architects were able to realize energy-efficient public buildings of the commercial sector, which are the prototypes for further similar design in Ukraine and the basis for developing the principles of "green" construction, the main provisions of which can be reflected in the changes to the state building standards of Ukraine.

Integration development processes in the wood industry based on clusterization

The research is aimed at substantiating a mechanism for the formation of interregional clusters. In order to identify the current state and development prospects for the Russian wood industry, we conducted an analysis of its functioning on the basis of official statistics. We substantiated the advantages of a cluster form of integration and made an assessment of the foreign and domestic clustering experience in the wood industry on the basis of an in-depth study of the related literature, analysis and synthesis of the data taken from certain specialized Internet portals of the Russian wood industry. To implement into practice our approach to the formation of interregional wood industry clusters in the Central Federal District (CFD), we carried out a research into these territories’ resource potential for clusterization (a rating-and-score method, methods of localization and concentration, a method of territorial proximity, a method of formalization, etc.). The obtained results showed that is it possible to form 4 wood industry clusters in the CFD of Russia, allowing to concentrate a resource capacity of several territories for the purpose of strengthening the interregional interaction of the timber industry enterprises, to create opportunities for the implementation of large-scale innovative projects in the industry.

Background for forming an innovative model of enterprise development in Kazakhstan

The scientific article examines the issues and prerequisites for the need to create an innovative model of strategic development, where an important place is given to the state in improving the competitiveness of the RK on a regional and sectoral scale. Along with this, the mission of the state is to create conditions for the implementation and development of promising large-scale innovative projects operating in a safe environment. The construction of a strategic model of innovative growth is an objective necessity in improving the well-being of individual enterprises in the republic. The above means that at the modern stage of development of Kazakhstani society, it is necessary to develop a national model of a strategy for innovation development of domestic enterprises in conditions of state regulation, which determines the target setting of scientific research in the presented article. To achieve this goal, the authors of the article consider it necessary to perform such tasks as the study of the theoretical and methodological foundations of innovative development and approaches to the formation of an enterprise strategy based on innovation; study of domestic and foreign experience of effective innovative development of enterprises, identification and substantiation of priorities for innovative development of enterprises, ensuring the achievement of the set strategic goals; determination of the most effective ways and mechanisms for the development of innovative strategies, implemented by enterprises of Kazakhstan, through the use of economic and mathematical modeling and forecasting. Key words: development strategy of Kazakhstan, state regulation, innovative development, competitiveness of enterprises, innovative model of economic growth, strategic management, knowledge-based economy

A Planning and Scheduling Method for Large-Scale Innovation Projects

We consider the problem of uniform allocation according to the minimax criterion of a non-renewable resource of an innovative project's activities. A lexicographic method is used for ordering these minimax criteria To solve the problem - one objective function - developed a greedy heuristic for finding the maximum path on an acyclic digraph with double weights on arcs. The greedy heuristic gives approximate solution of the problem mentioned. The obtained solution allows building a project resources plan and schedule with four types of temporary slacks with inaccurate initial data. The proposed approach allows performing an analysis of the project Risk of Performance parameter, for which has not developed the apparatus for its analysis. These include the risks that the project when complete fails to perform as intended or fails to meet the mission or business requirements that generated the justification for the project. Performance risks are estimated on the probability distribution function of a favorable/unfavorable outcome. Proposed lexicographic disintegration is a decomposition procedure and is suitable for planning and scheduling large-scale projects. Practical calculations for the convex problem in the initial statement may be performed with the help of ready-made software, and the obtained greedy solution of the problem-consequence has theoretical significance in graph theory.

Towards the Formation of Scientific and Technological Consortiums in the Russian Economy

The article states the insufficient development of cooperation ties in the national economy, which is a brake on scientific and technological progress of the Russian economy (because large-scale innovative projects can often be implemented only as cooperation). The author: a) considers the concept and specifics of such a form of network interaction of various economic organizations and other entities, including management state institutions, as a scientific and technological consortium; b) analyzes foreign and first domestic (post-Soviet) experience in the formation of such consortia and legal regulation of their development.

Even Allocation of Non-Renewable Resource in Large-Scale Innovative Projects

Even Allocation of Non-Renewable Resource in Large-Scale Innovative Projects

Innovative activity of teachers - myth or reality?

Introduction. The innovative activity of teachers is usually described as the creative activity of a sole inventor and the activity of mass teachers, who follow prepared algorithms in the framework of large-scale innovative projects. It is obvious that these types of activity differ considerably. More accurate structuring of innovative activity of the teacher will allow experts to describe more precisely objective essence of innovative processes and to find out more effective means of their stimulation both at the individual level of the teacher and at the level of a national educational system.The aim of the publication was to discuss the questions of what is innovative activity of the teacher; whether innovative activity really exists in mass practice; how innovative activity can be stimulated.Methodology and research methods. The research was based on the systematic approach. In the course of the research, the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and the survey among the teachers aimed at identifying the characteristics of their innovative activity were employed.Results and scientific novelty. The whole cycle of promoting the use of innovations into practice is thoroughly examined: from subjectivity to objectivity; from creativity to reproductive activity; from objectively new result to the product of a sample; from resistance of environment against innovation to stimulation and coercion to its realisation. Characteristics of innovative activity of the teacher are determined and described by the level of distribution of the forthcoming innovation and the attitudes of professional community towards it. It is proposed and proved that the innovation activities of the teachers should be separated into three types: (type I) creative activity of the individual aimed at development of means, methods and technologies to obtain objectively new results; (type II) activities of the teachers focused on the implementation of ready tested innovations, but new for teacher-friendly professional environment, (start-up); (type III) innovative activity of the teachers as a routine operation in the innovation system as its element. The activity of the type I is not widespread; such activity cannot and should not be mass - not everyone can be engaged in it. Design activity corresponds to the type II; type III - activity of performers with the total development of innovation becoming the accepted norm. Mass introduction of a novelty is an innovative process, but not at the level of a certain subject, since a teacher, who acts (often involuntarily) on well-developed samples and algorithms, is not an innovator.Practical significance. The dependence of efficiency of pedagogical innovations on the model of state policy in education is demonstrated. The reasons of the development gap of the Russian educational system in the field of innovations from the systems of other countries are disclosed. The conditions specific to each type of a teacher’s innovative activity, which need to be created for successful and more rapid implementation of progressive innovations, are allocated.

Large-Scale Innovative Projects as Temporary Trading Zones: Toward an Interlanguage Theory

Large-scale innovative projects (LSIPs) play a central role in arranging for exploratory and strategic opportunity seeking that transcends organizational and disciplinary boundaries. This paper outlines a theory that addresses the two most salient characteristics of such organizations: their extreme task uniqueness and high degree of interdisciplinarity. Drawing on the work of Peter Galison and the case of the Radiation Laboratory project, we introduce the notion of LSIPs as ‘temporary trading zones’ and posit the centrality of ‘interlanguage creation’ for coordinating such projects. We demonstrate that LSIPs foster and, indeed, practically necessitate the creation of an interlanguage via interaction among three core elements: linguistic representations, project management tools and material representations. Summarizing our observations, we propose a process model of interlanguage creation in LSIPs; this model identifies five critical developmental phases that reveal how the three core elements interact to create an interlanguage.

Continuous Efforts over 10 Years for Storage Re-organization at the National Museum of Ethnology, Japan

ABSTRACT The National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka, Japan, collects a vast amount of materials and information related to peoples’ life and culture, and makes them available to society through exhibitions and other activities. The number of collected items is increasing every year: 343581 objects have been collected from Japan and abroad as of March 2017. The continuous efforts have been necessary to improve storage conditions and to save space for both general and special storerooms. The former, which account for 90% of the storage capacity of the museum, are air-conditioned during working hours, with temperature and relative humidity (RH) settings varying with the seasons. The latter, which house objects for which strict conservation conditions are required, are air-conditioned for 24 hours with fixed settings of temperature/RH throughout the year determined by the nature of the materials from which the objects have been made or formed. Storage re-organization began with special storerooms, for which the number of objects and the storage area are far more limited in comparison with the general storerooms. The storage shelves for fur/skin/feather (almost 1000 objects) and for carpets (almost 550 objects) were all renewed in FY2007/2008. Then two large-scale innovation projects for general storerooms were conducted: construction of storage areas for ships equipped with a CO2-based and anoxic pest treatment facility (FY2015), and a complete refurbishing of the general storeroom for large objects (FY2016). Windows were set in the corner of this storeroom to provide visitors an opportunity to view and learn about the museum activities. In parallel to the above projects, daily storage improvement efforts have been undertaken. Storeroom No. 3, chosen as an example for general storerooms for small and medium-sized objects, was used to investigate the range of issues related to the shelving arrangement and storage conditions. Guidelines for storage re-organization were formulated according to the results of the investigation and according to the experiences gained through the renewal of special storerooms. Storage re-organization undertaken in storeroom No. 3 was conducted for 6 years at the rate of around 2000–4000 objects per year with a low budget and with reuse of existing shelves. In FY2016, all objects in storeroom No. 3 were properly redistributed. About 40% of the storage space was saved. Over these 10 years of storage re-organization, preventive measures have been taken for sustainable collection management. As early as FY1992, pest trap investigations have been carried out seasonally. Since FY2004, the results of investigations have been analyzed using a customized computer program. Subsequently, appropriate integrated pest management measures have been taken. In addition, since FY2014, energy-efficient air-condition control has been adopted for general storerooms. It consists of switching off air-conditioning in spring and autumn, and of starting it only when the temperature or RH values become too high in summer or too low in winter. Because the turning-off of air-conditioning causes comparable or even less climatic fluctuation, it was considered acceptable both economically and from a conservation perspective. It is estimated that turning the air-conditioning off during transitional seasons brings cost savings of about 3000000–4000000 JPY (about 26800–35700 USD as of 23 September 2017) per annum, which accounts for almost 30% of the electricity expenditures for all general storerooms.

ДЕТЕРМІНАНТИ ЕФЕКТИВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ІННОВАЦІЙНИМ РОЗВИТКОМ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

The article examines the modern realities of innovative development of agribusiness enterprises in Ukraine and substantiates the need for its further intensification and the need for thorough research. The theoretical basis of innovative activity of enterprises is considered with detailing on subjects of agrarian business and characteristic features of such activity for the specified subjects of managing that is caused by features of agriculture where the main factor of manufacture is the earth. The flowing factors and factors that caused technological and technical degradation against the background of weak investment attractiveness, reduction of innovation activity are determined. The rating of the most successful agricultural enterprises of Ukraine by the level of innovation implementation and costs for innovation activity is presented. The article presents a scheme of key determinants of the impact on innovation activity of enterprises in the agricultural sector of the Ukrainian economy. The authors give directions of innovative development of agro-industrial production of Ukraine with the separation of four groups of innovations: technical- technological, organizational-economic, social-managerial and informational with detailed examples of directions of innovations for each of the groups. The general algorithm of the process of risk management, which determines the current level of investment and innovation activity of agricultural enterprises, based on the systematization of the main stages of detection and evaluation. Activation of innovative activity of agricultural enterprises is one of the main prerequisites for stability and sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy, as it allows not only to change the nature of production activities, but also to fill it with new meaning and practical content. The practice of innovation, on the one hand, shows that there are still many obstacles in their way, which significantly hinder innovation development in the country; on the other hand, that innovative development is becoming, and in some places has already established itself as strategic for the development of industries and regions. However, these steps require specific content, from the organization of training to the practical implementation of large-scale innovative projects and programs.
