The article analyzes the main indicators of innovation activity of industrial enterprises of Ukraine for 2014–2019. It is established that the share of expenditures on own research and development is consistently low, without showing a clear downward trend. It is shown that foreign trade in light industry goods in Ukraine is not balanced, as imports predominate over exports, which leads to an outflow of funds that can be spent on innovative development of the industry, creation of new high-tech jobs and training of highly qualified personnel. The annual deterioration of innovation indicators of light industry enterprises was revealed, which was caused by a low share of innovation-active enterprises in their total number, as well as a small share of innovative products in the total volume of light industry products. The number of innovatively active industrial enterprises by areas of innovation in 2014–2019 in terms of economic activities is analyzed. It is established that the highest indicator of expenditures on internal scientific developments in general in the industry of Ukraine, in processing and light industry was observed in 2016, the lowest – in 2019. Expenditures on external research in the industry as a whole ranged from 30.3 to 56.6% in relation to the expenditures on internal developments during the study period. The indicator for the processing industry is slightly lower (from 29.1 to 45.3%) and very low for the light industry (from 14.3 to 36.4%). It should be noted that in 2015, 2017 and 2019, external R&D was not carried out). The analysis of expenditures on innovations of industrial enterprises by areas of innovation in 2014–2019 showed that for all articles in light industry they are insignificant, and in some years either there is no data on them at all, or the data are not published. Factors that negatively affect the ability of light industry enterprises and garment enterprises in particular to carry out innovative activities (low innovative potential of industrial enterprises; lack of information on new technologies, lack of information on markets and lack of opportunities for cooperation with other enterprises and organizations). Some ways of development of innovative business for Ukrainian garment enterprises are indicated.

Introduction. The actuality of scientific research is confirmed by the fact that innovative activity is one of the key factors for straightening national competitiveness under the conditions of globalization. It is thanks to innovations that the business entity has the ability to develop its market positions, improve its economic efficiency and in turn create a bigger added value. At the same time, it is important to commercialize the results of the innovation activity are as much as possible, which aims at offering new high-tech products and services for the market. The effectiveness of its successful implementation enables innovation’s introduction on the market, as well as the achievement of its sustainable competitive advantages. That is why the problem of commercialization of innovative products should be seen by society, government, private business, scientists, because the solution of this problem lays in the competitiveness of goods and effects human life standards. The purpose of the work is to highlight the problems that arise during the innovative products’ commercialization and to offer solutions to them. Results. Based on the review and synthesis of literary sources, as well as the study of empirical data from domestic enterprises the key problems of high-tech products commercialization were identified, they include the following: the danger of premature diffusion of high-tech products, which is uncontrollable by the commercialization subjects; inaccuracy during the assessment of demand for high-tech products and forecasting their sales volume; the adequate choice strategy complexity and development of tactics for the promotion of high-tech products in the market; the lack of reasonable pricing approaches for high-tech products. Conclusion. The article presents the key problems of innovative products’ commercialization and their solutions. The main directions for solving these problems were developed. In order to ensure both process of innovative products’ commercialization and innovative activity in general we propose number of recommendations in order to form an extensive information base for employees of the management subsystem and business analysts.

Introduction. In modern highly competitive, dynamic and unstable conditions enterprises are able to function successfully in the marketplace and occupy leadership positions in large part due to developing, implementation and realisation of innovations. A high level of an innovative activity of enterprises creates preconditions for forming new competitive benefits, an increase of investment attractiveness, broadens possibilities of passage to new marketplaces, is an impulse for providing a progressive development. As practice shows, only a small part of innovations transforms in goods and services and is successfully commercialized due to its promotion in interested groups of consumers. That's why the problem of commercialization of innovative goods and services should be in field of view of society, government, private business, scientists because decision of this problem improves a competitive ability of goods and finely a level of population's life. The purpose of paper is an exploration of commercialization properties of innovative goods and services in foreign countries, detection of reasons of low level of commercialization of innovative goods and services by domestic enterprises. Results. It is considered a domestic and a worldwide experience of commercialization of high-tech goods and services of industrial enterprises in the context of Asian, American and European models of innovative development. It is particularly set that there in the USA, Europe and Asia the key role in development and implementation of high-tech goods and services play multinational companies, which quite often create venture companies in their structures. Besides, it is set that a venture capital is often concentrated in science parks, technopoles, business incubators and other innovative structures. It is proved that in the process of commercialization of high-tech goods and services is a governmental support of state, first of all, from positions of longevity of preferences, which are offered to subjects of innovative structures. It's also set that such kind of commercialization is successful when local properties of demand for new goods and services are taken into account. Regarding a domestic experience of commercialization of innovative goods and services, they should state that it has a quite low development. Conclusion. In this way, generalisation of domestic and foreign experience of commercialization of innovative goods and services shows that directions and ways of such commercialization are different and can have a different shape that is defined by local historical circumstances, traditions and national innovative politics in general.

Purpose Performed over a five-year time horizon, this paper aims to analyze the progression rates of technological innovation across 15 sub-provincial Chinese cities. The authors quantify and rate innovation performance, then rank the cities based on a purpose-built index designed to gauge the rate of technological progress. Design/methodology/approach Using the inferior constraint method, and a variety of national sources of data, the authors construct an innovation index based in part on new product sales revenue, proportion of college students, research and development expenditure of industrial enterprises in relation to gross industrial output value, contract deals in technical markets per capita, hazard-free treatment rate of waste, enterprises with technical development agencies accounts for industrial enterprises, number of high-tech enterprises and invention patent ownership per million population. Findings The findings provide a methodology for indexing cities, with 15 Chinese provincial cities as examples. Among the top five cities with the highest technological innovation index were Shenzhen, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Wuhan. In the bottom were Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian, Xi’an and Harbin. Research limitations/implications This study applied a new model of innovation at the city level for China. Application to other industries (real estate, manufacturing, etc.) and countries will extend boundaries of this model and show its wider applicability. Practical implications Companies can use this research and methodology when seeking new investments in high tech and innovative products. Locations offering more hospitable environments should be prioritized ceteris paribus. Originality/value One weakness of much of the international business and competitiveness literature is that it often views the country as the primary unit of analysis. In this way, nuanced views of the institutional environments within countries are often overlooked. This paper proposes a measure of regional rates of innovativeness across China.

The interrelation between the innovation activity of enterprises and various types of network cooperation is of practical importance for the effective strategic management of network structures. In the present study, on the basis of indicators that measure innovation and technological effects and are adapted to the standards of statistics of the EU countries, the weighted aggregate innovation index of light industry companies in Ukraine and the EU countries is justified and calculated. On the basis of correlation and regression analysis, the relationships of varying strength are established between the integrated innovation index and different types of network innovative cooperation of light industry companies of the EU countries. The high-strength relationship is revealed between the innovation index of light industry and the indicators of the share of companies that had partners within their group of companies; that were involved in any type of network innovation partnership; that had partners in innovative cooperation among universities; that were involved in any type of partnership with a foreign partner from the EU countries, the EFTA countries or the candidate countries for accession to the EU. The construction of a correlation-regression model of the dependence of the innovation index of light industry on the share of innovation-active companies involved in any type of network innovation partnership and the share of innovation-active companies involved in network cooperation with a foreign partner from the EU countries, the EFTA countries or the candidate countries for accession to the EU given the possibility to predict the level of innovation of domestic companies of light industry depending on the level of their involvement in different types of network innovative cooperation.


The article is devoted to the model of modernization of agricultural enterprises on the basis of innovation providing. The level of innovative development of domestic agro-industrial enterprises is analyzed and the main problems that put backthe introduction of innovations in the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine under the current conditions are determined; the introduction of such a model of innovation development, which provided a balance between the modernization of production and the introduction of the results of scientific research, new products and production technologies is proposed; the vector of innovative development in the agricultural sector of Ukraine is investigated and the main trends in the development and implementation of innovations in the activities of enterprises engaged in agricultural production is identified; the model of modernization of domestic agroindustrial enterprises on the basis of innovation provision is developed, which is a set of intellectual (agrarian science), industrial (business environment of agroindustrial complex) and consumer (innovative products, innovative technology, innovation process) areas of innovation activity. The transition between these areas of the model of innovation provisioning is carried out with the help of progressive innovation (it helps ensure the interaction of the business environment of the agro-industrial complex with the scientific environment), innovation consulting (guarantees information and advice on innovative products and facilitates communication with business structures) and innovation-venture business (the main task is to promote the development of developed innovative products), a set of measures that must precede the implementation of the proposed model under the current conditions is defined. The role of the state in the process of innovation in agro-industrial enterprises at all three stages of the implementation of the innovation process, from the origin of the idea to the commercialization of innovation is defined. In particular, the functions assigned to the state are allocated for ensuring efficient financing of innovative activity of the agro-industrial complex.

The article deals with the dependence of the competitiveness of industrial enterprises on the level of innovation activity. The essence and main characteristics of the competitive advantages of the enterprise from the point of view of innovative activity in the course of innovative activity are highlighted. One of the factors that can increase the competitiveness of business is the active use of innovative production technologies, which will ensure a continuous improvement of scientific, technical, industrial, financial and social activities in the context of changes in the institutional environment. The results of analytical research of priority sectors of Ukrainian economy from the point of view of innovative activity are presented. With the transition of the economy to the next technological institution, it is worth talking about the change of priority industries in the structure of industry - from low-processing with low added value to innovative high-tech and high-margin. As the first Ukrainian Business Innovation Index showed, only some companies are ready to invest in innovation and have a strategic vision. According to research, most companies are still not ready and do not plan to make fundamental changes in their business models in the near future. Innovation is limited to the introduction of new production technologies, automation of tasks, training of staff new skills, changing approach to marketing and communications. The necessity of systematic support of innovative activity is substantiated, the basic directions of optimization of structure of economy of Ukraine are allocated. The European vector of Ukraine gives a good chance to digitize the processes. In particular, for state-owned companies in areas such as energy and oil and gas, the prospect of digitalization has become the prospect of entering the European Union. However, without major changes to the regulatory system, government priorities, and extensive government-business cooperation, no real major changes can be expected. The issue is not only in the tax field or subsidization, but also in education, digital skills of the population. The necessity of updating the issue of development of high-tech sectors of the economy has been proved, which will increase the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. Given the trends identified, it is appropriate to emphasize the need to take concrete actions to change the structure of the economy, to increase exports of high-tech products, the creation of export-credit agencies, industrial parks.

The priority direction of tax policy is the formation of tax potential, which includes the creation of conditions for the intensification of entrepreneurial activity, the formation of active development actors, the expansion of sources of tax revenue, the stimulation of innovation and investment activity. At the same time, in Ukraine, the lack of systemic directions of tax incentives for innovation in the legislation and practice of tax instruments significantly hinders the development of innovation potential of the economy and reduces its competitiveness. The basis for improving tax policy in the context of innovative development is the institutional component. The purpose of the study is to identify promising institutional aspects of the formation of tax potential in industry. The methodological basis of the study were analytical reviews, regulations, modern scientific and applied research in the field of innovation. The research uses methods of dialectics, methods and principles of scientific knowledge, tools of economic analysis to substantiate proposals for the formation of institutional foundations for the formation of tax potential. The main hypothesis of the study was the assumption that tax policy, which is aimed at developing innovation, largely determines the economic interest of industrial enterprises in the introduction of new technologies, as financial resources released from the tax potential of the enterprise can be directed to its innovation and investment activity. Presenting main material. The strategic task of tax potential management is to increase and strengthen the tax base by stimulating investment and innovation activity; support of enterprises in order to develop production and increase production. The tax potential is considered in the context of institutional innovation projects and smart specialization. An assessment of the prospects for the use of various tax instruments in accordance with the current situation and the need for the transition to adaptive management of tax potential of industry. The originality and practical significance is confirmed by the proposed scientific and methodological approaches to the management of tax potential in the context of innovative development. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Measures to increase the tax potential should include expanding the tax base not only through existing reserves, but also creating a new base through the development of innovation potential. The implementation of the relevant institutional strategy should be aimed not at simple maximization of tax revenues, but at the development of investment and innovation potential with the establishment of favorable conditions for the development of priority projects. Further research will focus on the analysis of the peculiarities of the use of tax tools in the framework of specific institutional and innovative projects of economic development.

The present article examines the issues of digital transformation of the production sphere (based on methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization of material relevant to the topic), which has great relevance for changes in modern production due to the transition to a new technological mode. The role of production, especially the industrial production, in the historical aspect of socio-economic development of the country is always pivotal and the competitiveness of economic systems at the micro, meso and macro levels of the country, as well as the country as a whole in the world market, depends on the timeliness of its modernization. The analysis of the production output categories allowed the authors to find out the specific weight of innovative products and give its characteristic in the aspect of production sectors: 1) high-tech; 2) medium-tech; 3) low-tech. Therein, it is shown that the first group has only 25 % of industries in it, the second has 31 % and the third has 44 %. Russia’s share of innovative products (services) in the world market is only 4,3 %, and the business sector has software deficiency. The authors draw the conclusion that, in order to intensify the modernization of the production sphere, it is necessary to widely implement digital technologies in small industrial enterprises, as well as in import-substituting enterprises, as they are more receptive to innovation. The authors examined the structure of manufacturing production and provided a description of the state of digitalization in all federal districts of Russia. They also carried out a correlation and regression analysis of the digitalization potential of the production sphere, based on the assessment of the closeness of the relationship between the use of broadband Internet and the volume of manufacturing production.
