Transformation of Scientific Approaches of Public Administration of Innovative Economic Development

Economic development acquires a qualitatively new character due to the active implementation of innovations in working processes. Innovation process is a factor of economic growth, which contributes to the transition of a market economy to an innovation-oriented type of economic development. The innovative type of economic development is characterized by expanded reproduction, which contributes to the modernization of economic systems. The transformation of scientific approaches to innovation management goes through successive stages of its development. The implementation of scientific concepts in management processes contributes to the formation of a unified model of innovation management. Today, public administration of innovative development in the economy is rather important. One of the priority areas of state regulation is import substitution in high-tech industries. The main aim of state bodies is to provide comprehensive support to enterprises operating in high-tech industries. Digital transformation is one of the priority areas for improving the state innovation policy. Innovative management methods based on digital solutions contribute to technological development and improve the financial results of companies. The innovation process is implemented through the results of scientific research, which are the basis for the production and sale of products with a high content of technological innovations. During the process of developing innovative strategy for the domestic economy, it is significant to reflect some problems that are related to the import dependence of exporters of innovative products under the sanctions regime. Innovative development is the main factor in the success of companies in an unstable economic environment. Strategic decisions of companies should develop innovative potential, which includes innovation both in production and marketing terms. In the conditions of an unstable external economic situation, ensuring the economic security of the country and the competitiveness of domestic companies is achieved through the implementation of scientific approaches of public administration of innovative economic development.

Introduction. Unfavorable trends in the development of the domestic economy in recent years require the search for new mechanisms to stimulate the national economy in a period of structural change that can intensify the innovative activities of industrial enterprises in the Kiev region. This also applies to issues of foreign experience in the operation of special forms of organization of innovation, such as technopolises, technology parks, clusters, industrial parks and more. The issue of state regulation of their activities deserves special attention. In order to increase the measures of the state innovation policy, it is expedient to implement the positive experience of innovative development of enterprises in Ukraine, taking into account local peculiarities of creation and development of enterprises on an innovative basis. Materials and methods. The information base of the study consisted of statistical materials, regulations, national programs for enterprise development on an innovative basis. Positive experience in the implementation of regulations in the field of innovation development of enterprises can potentially be used in Ukraine, which will promote the intensification of special forms of organization of innovation. Results and discussion. The study found that in the countries there are several main determinants of the formation of innovative enterprises: the concentration of competitive enterprises in the region; availability of competitive advantages for the development of enterprises on an innovative basis; geographical concentration and proximity to settlements. Unlike other countries in Ukraine, there are factors that hinder the development of innovative enterprises. In this regard, it is necessary to develop proposals to improve the regulatory framework for the creation and development of innovative enterprises in the industrial sector; to implement state programs to promote the development of enterprises on an innovative basis; develop innovative connections and networking collaborations; to attract credit funds from international financial organizations on program principles, etc. Conclusions. Based on the study of the peculiarities of innovative development of enterprises in other countries, proposals have been developed to intensify innovative activities in Ukraine. In particular, proposals have been developed for the activities of special forms of organization of innovation activities, such as clusters and industrial parks. A significant achievement is the development of proposals to introduce a mechanism of public-private partnership in industrial enterprises in Ukraine, taking into account the experience of the world.

СОВРЕМЕННЫЕ ТЕНДЕНЦИИ РАЗВИТИЯ ЦИФРОВЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ

The purpose of this article is to analyze a systematic approach to the introduction of modern digital technologies in the state economy. The authors set themselves the task of systematizing conflicting views on models and scenarios of economic transformation and its impact on the country’s economy, and developing recommendations for the introduction of modern digital technologies in the country’s economy. The study used general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison and description. Despite the consensus reached by the government, business and society on the need to curtail the raw material exchange rate and switch to innovative development based on the accelerated introduction of digital technologies in public administration, the economy and the social sphere, the specific mechanisms for this transition remain ineffective and often unclear. Russian science has been able to accumulate a significant theoretical base on models and scenarios of economic transformation, but fundamental methodological approaches to the development and implementation of state innovation policy in high-tech industries, especially at different levels of the hierarchy of management systems, have not yet been determined.

Developing Mechanisms of State Regulation of Development of Rural Territories in Ukraine

A theoretical and methodological analysis is essential to ascertain the content, approaches, principles, strategic priorities of integrated development, and ways to improve the mechanisms of regulating the development of rural areas in Ukraine while integrating the relevant foreign experiences. The State regulation of rural development in Ukraine needs a rationale to adopt expanded approach to rural development, and to reiterate it as a separate sectoral area of public administration. It is recommended that the priority strategic direction of the State innovation policy in Ukraine should cover organizational and economic bases and adopt innovative model of development in rural governance contexts. The model of forming self-sufficient territorial communities is desirable in new administrative and financial decentralization contexts. Such a model can provide effective use of the internal resources of the community while taking into account the directions and of mechanisms of the State regulation.

MODERN FEATURES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL REGULATION OF INNOVATION ACTIVITIES OF ENTERPRISES IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC COMPETITION

The subject of the study are organizational and economic relations arising in the process of administrative and legal support of innovation activities of enterprises in terms of economic competition. Methodology. Instrumental and methodological apparatus of the study consists of the applied methods of economic analysis of organizations, statistical methods, sample observation, method of economic modeling, grouping, generalization, expert evaluations, methods of economic theory, marketing, etc. The aim of the article is to study modern features of administrative and legal regulation of innovative activity of enterprises in conditions of economic competition. The results of the study are to identify the typical principles of state innovation policy. The study of existing principles shows that they are largely based on administrative and legal methods of regulation, which is explained by the organizational and managerial focus of the principles of state innovation policy. Finally, the conclusion about the need to unify the principles of state innovation policy in relation to enterprises operating in a competitive environment is formulated. Conclusion. Analysis of the regulatory framework governing the innovative activities of enterprises has revealed a number of problems. The most important of them are: absence of unity in determining the fundamental concepts of the innovation sphere; lack of unity in determining the powers of executive authorities in the innovation sphere; inconsistency in the construction of executive authorities that regulate innovation activity; non-unity in determining the powers of the executive bodies of state power; legal and linguistic uncertainty in the formulation of the powers of the executive authorities; ambiguity of the range of issues on the adoption of normative legal acts regulating relations in the field of innovation; absence of unity in the definition of the object of state support; no uniformity in the interpretation of the concept of "state innovation policy" in the laws; vagueness and ambiguity in the definition of goals and objectives of state innovation policy; different interpretations of the concept of "state support to subjects of innovation activity"; unreasonable limitation of the range of recipients of state support; presence of excessive administrative barriers in obtaining state support. Based on the above, it can be concluded that the administrative-legal regulation in the field of innovation activities of enterprises in a competitive environment is in its formative stage and needs further improvement.

USE OF THE MECHANISM OF CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT OF INNOVATIVE TRANSFORMATIONS OF PUBLIC GOVERNANCE

The formation and implementation of innovative activities in public administration is a fundamental problem in both theoretical and practical aspects. Public administration in the current conditions of Ukraine's development requires significant changes due to the active processes of digital transformation of the state's interaction with society, and the use of innovative tools and technologies used in world practice. The article establishes the morphological paradigm of modern public administration within the framework of reforming and innovative transformations of the public administration system. The task of the mechanism of cultural and educational support of innovative transformations of public administration is defined. The essence of the concept of "public administration" is investigated, the decomposition analysis of definition of the concept "mechanism of public management" is carried out. The quality of public administration in the field of formation of innovative mechanisms of interaction between political, local self-government bodies, governmental structures, business and civil society organizations is worked out. The concept of "mechanism of cultural and educational support of innovative transformations of public administration" is revealed. It is proposed to outline a comprehensive system of managerial influence on civil society, which gives the implementation of innovations in public administration based on the application of the achievements of cultural and educational space in order to achieve progressive evolutionary social development. The main directions of development of innovative activity in public administration of Ukraine are defined — fixing of strategic priorities of the state innovation policy, maintenance of conditions of application of model of innovative activity in system of public management and improvement of the current legislation in the field of innovative activity in public management. The primary experience for outlining innovations common in Western European public administration, the strategy of joint innovations based on cooperation and communication of public, private and public actors with different levels of experience and resources can be traced. Much attention is paid to the formation of barriers to cooperation within the strategy and the factors that directly affect their emergence. It is argued that the organization of cooperation processes stimulates the creation of innovative solutions.

Policy Diffusion Speed: A Replication Study Using the State Policy Innovation and Diffusion Database

Data accumulation efforts are pushing the study of policy innovation diffusion in new directions. This replication study uses one such effort, the State Policy Innovation and Diffusion database, to interrogate the claim that policy attributes like salience and complexity condition the speed of innovation adoption. The study finds that policy complexity does push the effect of policy salience in a negative direction. However, it also finds substantial heterogeneity in these conditional effects across State Policy Innovation and Diffusion’s major constituent datasets. In addition, while not completely answering questions about convenience sampling bias, the study shows that the fundamental results do not change with one re-weighting of the results to capture a hypothetical distribution of the population of state policy innovations. The article concludes with future directions for the study of both policy diffusion within American federalism and cross-national diffusion.
