The world experience of most developed countries shows that the basis of their economic growth is the expansion of the spheres of activity of traditional sectors of the economy through the introduction of innovative technologies. In this regard, an understanding of the trends, characteristics and prospects of scientific and technological development will allow us to determine competitive advantages, identify bottlenecks, and set priorities in the development of long-term strategic documents for the development of not only the economy, but also the social sphere at the level of both the Russian Federation as a whole and individual territories. This, in turn, requires an assessment of the current state, dynamics and main factors of the formation of scientific and innovative potential. Since innovation potential is a multidimensional concept it is necessary, when assessing it and for comparing it between different territories, to bring it to a single integral indicator.

Ukraine lags behind the developed countries in technological and economic spheres, by average income per capita, by renovation of production equipment, etc. Instead, comparatively high level of labour resources’ qualification and intellectual capacity remain to be the competitive advantage. Based on the theory of competitive advantages and current EU smart specialization strategy, it is possible to focus on technology-intensive industries oriented on exports to secure the countries’ sustainable development. The state of innovation activity of enterprises of industry, entrepreneurship sectors and regions is considered. The structure of the types of innovative activities of Ukrainian industrial enterprises for 2010-2017 includes internal and external impacts, such as the purchase of equipment and software, training of employees, etc. Statistical, table, questionnaire, factor analysis methods were used. The comparative analysis provides an innovative index of Ukraine and its 10 components (human resources, attractive research systems, innovation friendly environment, finance and support, firm investments, innovators, linkages, intellectual assets, employment impacts, sales impacts) calculated by EU economic experts according to the methodology The European Innovation Scoreboard. Based on the answers of the managers of small businesses, the bottlenecks of innovation management are grounded: internal (qualifications of managers and specialists), limited financial resources, risk of activities diversification) and external (corruption, formal approach of authorities and institutional infrastructure). The paper proves the reasonability of the state policy of further investment development and stimulation of the IT sector due to its low material resources, proper system of education of specialists, legal support and fiscal policy. The record high growth rate of the information services market and the corresponding high-intellectual cluster of specialists allows predicting the integration of the national industry into the international division of labor from the angle of geopolitical smart specialization.

The article presents the process of globalization, i.e. “the growing interdependence between nations” as a superposition of particular elements of mutual dependence of nations over the past several thousand years. Four waves of globalization, following one another, namely – trade, financial, industrial and innovation globalization are presented. The main features of innovation globalization are indicated: 1) increasing the degree of research internationalization in the natural and technical sciences, 2) transfer abroad of research and development units by the large international corporations, 3) active purchase of promising technologies and prototypes of new products and processes for their production together with their developers, that is, the purchase of companies that have created prototypes of promising products or technologies (startups); 4) a growing stream of “reverse innovations” – when innovations are created in foreign manufacturing units of multinational corporations, often while implementing joint projects with other firms. It is indicated that all these phenomena are observed in Russia. Recommendations are given in the field of strategies of industrial corporations on the more active involvement of Russia in global innovation processes: 1) the participation of the Russian firms in creation of new industrial enterprises in the developed countries in cooperation with local companies; 2) the purchase of domestic and foreign startups that have developed the most promising technologies in the new areas; 3) expanding the circle of employees familiar with the most advanced production practices; 4) leasing at attractive rates of production and office space to foreign enterprises that own advanced technologies and forms of organization; 5) contract design and contract manufacturing abroad. It is concluded that these and other measures are capable of transferring Russian enterprises from an object to an active subject of the new wave of globalization.

Currently, technological parks constitute the most organisational and conceptually developed type of innovation centres and entrepreneurship. This results in the fact that they can be encountered in all highly developed countries in the world. They are also formed in the catching-up countries. However, one should consider whether the stimulation of innovation in the countries, which are not based on knowledge through institutional solutions used in the developed countries will turn out to be effective. Because between these countries there is a technological gap. The aim of the article was therefore to determine, using the probit modelling, the direction and strength of technological parks on the innovation activity. The study covered two provinces: Silesian, which is one of the most developed regions in Poland and Pomeranian with the intermediate industrial system. The influence of technological parks on innovation was determined based on the survey conducted in 1453 industrial enterprises. The main conclusions are brought down to the following theses: (1) using the technological parks increases the chance for the implementation of new solutions by enterprises, (2) parks to a greater extent stimulate the innovation activity in the developed province, (3) enterprises entering in the cross-regional network relations favours the selection of the technological park as the catalyst for innovation processes.

The global trend of developing the institute of social responsibility of businesses leads to the need to train specialists with new professional competences in the practical application of the concept of corporate social responsibility, taking into account the peculiarities of the social sphere of industrial organizations in the post-Soviet countries.   The purpose of this study is to develop a methodical toolkit to assess the effectiveness of the management of the social sphere of industrial enterprises within the framework of the concept of corporate social responsibility. Methods of theoretical and empirical research, methodological techniques and approaches used in the analysis of the activities of enterprises by Western experts, as well as their modifications, allowing to take into account the specifics of the economic situation of the post-Soviet countries, were used as methodological tools. The article discusses the methodological features of assessing the effectiveness of an industrial organizations' social sphere within the framework of applying the CSR concept at the post-Soviet space. The authors propose a system for evaluating the effectiveness and forecasting the activity of the social sphere of industrial organizations in four key areas: social, economic, organizational, and technological efficiency, which meet the main targets of the activities of such entities. The authors have developed a new system of balanced indicators that allows to assess the efficiency of the functioning of cultural and recreational facilities that are on the balance sheet of industrial organizations, focusing on the interests of various parties: both external and internal stakeholders, based on the optimal ratio of economic benefit and social result. The new CSR procedure related to the integration of social reporting with the system of key performance indicators will allow monitoring the effectiveness of the industrial organizations' social sphere by aggregated indicators within the framework of management by goals and is a powerful tool for strategic planning of their activities.

The Conversions of the City Structure and their Influence on the Demographic Phenomena The process of socio-economic change, which started in Poland in 1989, began the series of modifications in the structure of Polish cities. These changes embrace the economic sphere and the social sphere, as well as the habitable environment. The changes occurring in Polish cities resemble the processes present in settlement systems in highly developed countries. They take place, however, with some delay which is caused by the movement from the centrally controlled economy to the market economy and all the problems associated with it.The aim of the presented article is to show the influence of occurring changes on the socio-economic development and demographic situation apparent in small towns of the Wrocław Metropolitan Area (WrMA). The attempt of evaluation of factors promoting the development was undertaken. The value of chosen characteristics was analyzed for the set of small towns of Dolnośląskie voivodship. The analysis of chosen quantities common for demographic phenomena in a longer time cross-section (1995-2008) pinpoints the irregularity of development of specific towns, which may result in negative effects for the whole area in the future.

Innovative development is a prerequisite for the long-term sustainable functioning of agro-industrial enterprises. Activation of the innovation process, considered as a prerequisite for economic growth, is constrained by the lack of formalized decision-making apparatus and the assessment of its consequences. In order to manage the innovative development of agroindustrial enterprises in contemporary conditions, it is necessary to study the theoretical and methodological foundations of modeling and forecasting of their innovation activity, which has become a characteristic tendency of the economic situation in agriculture in recent years. The complexity of agricultural production and its specificity determine the peculiarity of approaches and methods of managing innovation activity, combining different types of innovations, strengthening the role of the state in their promotion. The agrarian sector of the economy is practically completely dependent on foreign manufacturers of technology, which, of course, also reduces the level of food security of our country. The existing innovative potential in agriculture in Ukraine is not used in full. The meaning of state innovation policy is that, while maintaining the accumulated scientific and technical potential to the maximum extent, and develop mechanisms that stimulate not only the development of innovative processes, but also the development of their results. The main directions of innovation policy in agriculture include: provision of legal regulation of innovation development and protection of the interests of its participants; implementation of direct and indirect support of agricultural producers in the creation and development of innovations; definition and implementation of the priority development of agrarian industrial complex; development of effective forms of partnership and cooperation, formation of appropriate organizational and economic structures; training of personnel in the field of innovation activity; priority development of material and technical base; development of international cooperation in the field of innovations. The state, based on the recommendations of science, should be called in a timely manner to send agribusiness clear and clear signals about the most promising areas of production activity, to orientate and direct its business activity in the necessary direction for society, to indicate ways to overcome the lag of our agriculture from the level of highly developed countries of the world.
