The paper is about main trends of cooperation activity in research and development in Russia nowadays. It is focused on types of cooperation and types of partners in joint projects. Special attention is paid to cooperation in manufacturing. This makes it possible to diagnose possible points of innovation growth, that is, types of manufacturing activities that are of interest to both Russian and foreign partners. The study of the partnership in the dynamics allowed us to see a reduction in the share of suppliers of equipment, raw and materials in joint projects, as well as the share of consulting firms. To study the factors that have a decisive influence on the cooperation activity of organizations, a logit model is created. It shows that the probability of cooperation increases with the growth of novelty of the created advanced production technologies, innovation and patent activity of enterprises. The proposed aggregate indicator of cooperation activity can provide regular monitoring of cooperation and partnership in R&D.

The development of technological entrepreneurship is necessary since new technologies and the level of knowledge are the factors determining the macroeconomic indicators, along with capital and labor. It is essential to identify the effectiveness of the development of technological entrepreneurship as an institution that transforms the research, development, and intellectual property into ready-made advanced production technologies. The paper studies the interrelation between the resources available to technological entrepreneurship (the level of costs for research and development, intellectual property) and the results in the form of the creation of new technologies. The author carried out the analysis at the national and regional levels. For this reason, two new indicators are calculated: the ratio of the number of patents for inventions to the number of the developed advanced production technologies; the ratio of the number of the developed advanced production technologies to the internal costs of research and development. At the national level, the author studied the change in these indicators for 2000–2018, determined trends and dynamics peculiarities. The study identified the influence of changes in the methodology of statistical accounting in 2011–2012 on assessing technological entrepreneurship efficiency. At the regional level, the author studied the variants of indicators of the effectiveness of technological entrepreneurship development, evaluated the nature of the distribution, and concluded on the degree of regional asymmetry. The paper includes the analytical grouping of Russian regions by the effectiveness of technological entrepreneurship development and its use of the resources of the national innovation system. The key features of the national dynamics of technological entrepreneurship efficiency are the improvement of the efficiency of the usage of intellectual property (patents) in general over the period and the unstable nature of this indicator in the last 5–7 years. At the regional level, the author noted a right-sided asymmetry in the distribution of both indicators and identified the regions with the highest and lowest efficiency of technological entrepreneurship development. The study showed that technological entrepreneurship efficiency does not always coincide with the positions of a region in the innovative development ratings.

As discussed in the literaturę, more and more transnational corporations (TNCs) were attaching importance to research and development (R&D) activity from the 1970s through the 2000s. This growing involvement of TNCs in R&D resulted in their dominant role in global R&D expenditure. Indeed, a comparative analysis of financial data collected for the group of the 102 largest corporate R&D spenders worldwide in 2007 showed that this group of TNCs accounted for a significant share of the worlds R&D expenditure not only in 2007 alone but also in the period of 2000-2011. Moreover, a similarity between their home countries and the countries being top R&D spenders was found; however, most of these corporations were conducting their R&D at international level. Furthermore, the analysed TNCs operated mostly in technology-intensive industries, for which the foun- dations were provided by a multidisciplinary science and technology basis.

The Royal Society, which for over three centuries has been the prime meeting-place for all the leading pathfinders in British science and technology, is concerned more than ever today with the great enterprise of viewing technological and scientific development and research in the total context of the needs emerging in industry as a whole. To this end, the Society’s Committee on Industrial Activities, of which I am Chairman, but most of whose 22 members are Fellows of the Royal Society working within British industry, has instituted a series of major discussion meetings under the general heading ‘Technology in the 1980s’. One clear object of these meetings is to focus attention upon those developments and researches now in progress that relate to the needs of a particular industry and that seem so important that they are likely to transform some aspect of the technology of that industry by (say) the 1980s. An even more important aim is to look ahead, in the light of all the information we have about not only technological but also general developments in that industry, and to try to forecast its expected character and problems in the 1980 s in an integrated fashion, that can give real help in planning today’s research and development effort.

The lack of own funds of enterprises is one of the main problems in resolving issues related to the expansion, the acquisition of new equipment or the replacement of the old one. In contemporary economic conditions, it is leasing that is considered one of the most progressive ways of financing business activity. This financial toolkit is able to provide enterprises with access to the most advanced production technologies and equipment. At the same time, this mechanism is paid insufficient attention in our country. To solve these problems, the authors propose, firstly, the implementation of the algorithm for the development of the reproduction of the material and technical base of organizations based on the use of financial leasing. Secondly, a technique for calculating leasing payments based on a parametric model is suggested, taking into account the application of lowering coefficients. The implementation of the proposed toolkit is aimed at improving leasing relations as one of the most important factors of the development of the material and technical base, and funding for reproduction processes.

The Centre for Bibliographic Management is funded by the British Library Research and Development Department, but the details given and opinions expressed are entirely the responsibility of the author. Performance can be measured in quantitative and qualitative terms. Quality of bibliographic service should be concerned with accuracy, consistency and timeliness. Functions and the criteria relating to them have to be determined in order to define effective targets; and regular monitoring is required. Adequacy of records is the criterion that poses most problems, as different users need different quality and level of detail; a major study of this was undertaken by the Centre for Bibliographic Management. Performance measurement is however usually desirable on a continuing basis; an example is the BNB MARC Currency Survey administered by the Centre for nine years.

The outline of plans for the research and development of an advanced reheat gas turbine under the Moonlight Project (Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry) has already been announced in 1981 at Houston (81-GT-28), while technical problems related to the pilot plant (Paper No. 83-TOKYO-IGTC-117) as well as performance and characteristics (Paper No. 83-TOKYO-IGTC-40) have been announced at the 1983 Tokyo International Gas Turbine Congress. No-load shop tests conducted on the pilot reheat gas turbine during the period of May to July, 1983, were consummated with highly satisfactory results, so this paper is dedicated primarily to giving a description of the shop tests.
