Innovative Potential

Развитие инновационного потенциала студентов в высшем учебном заведении является актуальной задачей современного образовательного процесса. Для ее осуществления необходима развивающая образовательная среда, которая во многом определяется культурой вуза, целевыми и ценностными установками, ориентацией на инновационные технологии обучения. Эффективное функционирование инновационной инфраструктуры вуза невозможно без психолого-педагогического сопровождения образовательного процесса. Оно должно быть направлено на формирование инновационных компетенций студентов, становление их личности, расширение возможности самообразования, помощь в приобретении опыта участия в разработке, распространении и внедрении инноваций. При развитии инновационного потенциала студенты переходят на качественно новый уровень с помощью саморазвития, профессионального совершенствования. The state’s development vector is currently aimed at innovative transformations. To create an effective innovation system in the country, it is important to prepare University students for professional activities and develop their innovative potential. An important condition in preparing students for innovation is psychological and pedagogical support. Support should be aimed at the formation of innovative competencies of students, personal development, expansion of self-education, assistance in the development and implementation of innovations. It is important that psychological and pedagogical support is focused on the design of the author’s system of student activity when mastering the basics of the profession. Psychological and pedagogical support in the educational process takes into account the logic of the natural development of the student at this age and socio-cultural stage. The model of psychological and pedagogical support for the development of innovative potential of students includes several components: motivational, informative, practical, evaluative, and diagnostic. The model combines the goals, objectives, and features of innovation in the educational environment. It should be focused on the development of innovative thinking, improving motivation, improving the quality of independent and team work, and selfdevelopment of students. When developing the innovative potential of students, it is necessary to use active forms of education: training, project activities, discussions, modeling, roleplaying and simulation games. Active forms of education help to develop students communicative competence, creative and organizational abilities, personal and professional identity. Psychological and pedagogical support for the development of innovative potential of students should be based on the principle of transition of opportunity to relevance. With the development of innovative potential, students move to a qualitatively new level through self-development and professional improvement. Scientific and research work, which is focused on the practical implementation of the results of intellectual activity, is of great importance in the preparation of students.

Methodological Aspects

The article defines the role of innovative potential in the innovative development of companies. The purpose of the article is to consider the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of the innovative potential of the company, its economic essence, the content of elements and structure, as well as to identify the influence of factors on the development of the innovative potential of the company. The problem posed in the article made it necessary to study the publications of foreign scientists and economists in the field of innovation. The relevance of the article is due to a different understanding of the term “innovative potential of the company” by foreign scientists and practitioners, as well as the lack of comprehensive methodological research in this area. Existing approaches to the economic essence of the category of «innovative potential» of the company are considered. The positions of specialists in the interpretation of this concept are determined. The conceptual approaches to the study of the innovative potential of the company are analyzed. The economic essence and significance of the innovative potential are determined based on its genesis and role for the innovative development of the company. The basic elements of the innovative potential of the company are considered. The general, special and specific characteristics of this concept in the system of socio-economic relations are presented. The ambiguity of the analyzed approaches to this category is determined and the author’s interpretation of the “innovative potential of the company” is proposed. The key factors affecting the formation of the innovative potential of the company are identified. The direction of their impact is established, the features of the formation of the innovative potential of the company as a way to increase its competitiveness are disclosed based on the hermeneutic approach. Based on the analysis of theoretical provisions, the structure of the innovative potential of the company as a unity of components (resource, managerial, internal and effective) that coexist mutually, suggest and condition each other is improved. The classification of the components of innovative potential is improved and the directions of their influence on the formation of the innovative potential of the company are systematized. The morphological classification has been improved which allows optimizing the complex of existing approaches to the formation of the innovative potential of the company. The practical significance of the results obtained is that the proposals for the development of innovative potential developed in it can be used by companies to increase innovation activity and competitiveness.
