The essence of the category «potential» is revealed. It is noted that it is more often defined as a set of opportunities in a particular area, but the term «potential» indicates not the implementation of the opportunity, but only its presence. The physical and economic approach to understanding potential is considered. Characterizing the economic potential of the enterprise, several approaches to the definition of this category are described: general; functional; production; Resource. The essence of the concept of «export potential», considered as part of the economic potential of an export-oriented enterprise, is defined in the possible volumes of supplies for the export of competitive products. The following approaches to determining the export potential of the enterprise are presented: a compass approach, a resource approach that is identical to the understanding of the category of «economic potential of the enterprise» and systemic and structural. The concept of «export potential of the enterprise» and «foreign economic potential of the enterprise» is delineated. The analysis of the internal potential of the enterprise is carried out as follows. First, the assessment of the provision of resources and the effectiveness of their use is carried out. Secondly, assessment of the competitiveness of export products. It is determined by a set of its consumer properties, which are advantages compared to competitor goods, in relation to compliance with public needs, considering the costs of their satisfaction and potential income. It is noted that when exporting goods, the enterprise can get both a direct economic effect from improving the financial results of the enterprise, and indirect from increasing the competitiveness of production. If the internal potential of the enterprise is high enough, then it is necessary to analyze the external export potential according to the following scheme. The first step is the analysis of foreign economic factors that have an impact on the formation and use of export potential. The second step is the analysis of marketing activities and sales in foreign markets. The third step is to analyze the innovative potential of the enterprise as an integral part of the export potential and constantly increase its level.

AbstractMany studies raise doubts about the effectiveness of the institutions, programmes and instruments that shape the Chinese national innovation system. This article scrutinizes central–local interactions in the national Torch Programme that has governed a large group of high-technology zones since 1988. The Torch Programme's procedural practices challenge widely shared assumptions about the dirigiste character of Chinese innovation policy. It combines centralized definition of programme objectives with extensive local implementation experiments. As three case studies demonstrate, bottom-up policy innovations are effectively fed back into national programme adjustments and into horizontal policy diffusion. The array of organizational patterns and promotional instruments that emerges from competitive “experimentation under the shadow of hierarchy” (ESH) goes way beyond what could have been initiated from top down. We hypothesize that the procedural strengths displayed in the Torch Programme may provide better indicators of future innovative potential in China's high-technology zones than retrospective statistical indices and benchmarks that are derived from OECD experience.

The national innovation system is one of the main mechanisms for restructuring the Russian economy. The implementation of innovations, the active development of the science and technology industry creates the necessary conditions and prerequisites for the transition of the economy to its new technological structure, providing an innovative type of economic growth. In recent years, the literature has developed many approaches to the definition of the concept of “innovative potential”. Some authors consider this category as a set of resources and capabilities of the system to create and implement innovations. Others define innovative potential as a measure of the region’s readiness to create and promote innovations. The third group of authors treats innovation potential as a result of innovation activity, identifying in some way the concept of “innovation potential” and “innovation process”. This article discusses approaches to the definition of a comprehensive indicator of innovative potential. The assessment methods considered in this article allow to determine the level of innovative potential of an organizational system, to perform a comparative analysis of systems according to a generalized indicator of innovative potential and its components, and also to develop programs for the development of organizational systems taking into account the effective use of innovative system capabilities.

Purpose – research on R&D projects implemented at universities shows that many researchers feel that the requirements set on R&D project definition in the process of calls for projects brake the innovativeness and the freedom of research. Thus, the objective of the paper is to propose a soft, fuzzy set based method of R&D project definition, which would allow to evaluate projects in the stage of project calls, but at the same time would not act contrary to the research ideas of the most ingenious and innovative researchers. Research methodology – the proposal is based on the results of over 70 structured interviews with R&D project managers from Polish and French universities. The respondents expressed their critical opinion about the required definition of R&D projects in the application stage of most calls, suggested which elements should be improved and in which way. Most of them criticised the required detail level of projects description and emphasized the uncertainty present in their research. Then we propose to model this uncertainty by means of fuzzy sets. Findings – the result of the research presented in the paper is a new way of R&D project definition, based on the fuzzy theory, adjustable to each R&D project type. The new method of project definition will express the actual uncertainty and innovative potential of each R&D project and thus allow a selection of R&D projects which would maximise their contribution to the university and science development. Research limitations – the proposed approach needs to be validated and verified on the basis of a big sample of a real world R&D project, with the participation of a representative sample of researchers. Another limitation is a highly probable resistance against such an approach among the researchers and research funding institutions, as it requires a deep analysis of the planned research and its context. Practical implications – it is proposed that the method will be used by research funding institutions in project calls. This will increase the efficiency of financial resources spent on research, in terms of value-added per one dollar invested in the research. Originality/Value – the proposed method is the first approach to project definition based on fuzzy numbers and one of very few existing approaches to project definition taking uncertainty into account

The article is concerned with the issues of determining and evaluating the economic sustainability of enterprise. The publication analyzes the views of scholars on the definition of «economic sustainability of enterprise». A closer definition of this concept is proposed, according to which under the economic sustainability of enterprise it is advisable to understand its complex ability to respond to and withstand the influence of negative relevant factors of the external and internal environment, while maintaining its internal structure, dynamics of operation, which contributes to the achievement of the main goals of functioning and development of enterprises. The main components of economic sustainability of enterprise are allocated, including: financial, industrial, personnel, organizational, marketing, social, environmental, investment, innovation. The main stages of the process of ensuring economic sustainability of enterprise are proposed, the basis of implementing which is the principles of unity – interconnectedness and subordination of all components of sustainability; complexity, which involves taking into account relevant factors of influence; continuity – implementation of the regulatory process on the basis of permanence and sustainability; adequacy, i.e. compliance of the system with patterns of enterprise development. The proposed components and stages of ensuring and determining the economic sustainability of enterprise are used as the basis of the developed methodical approach concerning its quantitative assessment, which is built up using methods of multidimensional factor, cluster analysis, additive convolution method for calculating the integral indicator of economic sustainability of enterprises. The developed methodical approach was tested on the statistical data of nine machine-building enterprises of Kharkiv region, which proved its applied value and possibility of further use.

The aim is to study the essence of entrepreneurial activity and modern motivational concepts, which allows you to identify and systematize the main problems of motiva-ting business activity.The study showed that the motivation of entrepreneurial activity is a complex phenomenon that affects both the internal potential of the business and various counterparties and the business environment as a whole. The main elements of motivation of entrepreneurial activity are: self-motivation of a business actor (any activity will not be effective without internal motivation), staff motivation (entrepreneurship is the result of attracting various resources, including labor, which should be stimulated to achieve goals of the organization) and motivation of third parties who contact the business directly or indirectly.The constructed triangle of motivation provides opportunities in the course of practical activity of business to allocate the basic directions of diagnostics of problems of motivation of business activity.The study showed that there is a wide range of problems of business motivation, among which the determinants are: the first group of problems, covering research and activation of motives for starting your own business, starting a business; the second group of problems concerns the definition of the essence of business motivation, is to diagnose the needs on which the modern concept of motivation is based; problems of motivation of entrepreneurial activity are also in the socio-cultural environment, which can stimulate the start of business or inhibit initiative; problems of existence and emergence of contradictions in the process of business activity, which have the prospect of becoming a conflict of interest of various participants in the economic pro-cess. It is proposed to systematize the problems of motivation of entrepreneurial activity on the basis of classification according to the following features: depending on the place of origin, the time of origin, the method of solution, the complexity.

The article is devoted to the analysis of factors of influence on the increase in financial performance of agricultural enterprises. The approaches of scientists to determine the essence of the concept of profit are analyzed, their own definition of the concept is formed. The system of proof that the company's task is to make a profit, which is the main stimulus of economic activity is provided. Profit ensures the economic stability of the company, guarantees its financial independence. In order to improve financial results, the company is interested in looking for untapped opportunities and reserves, more efficient ways of using resources, producing products for which there is demand, applying organizational and technical innovations that ensure the efficiency of production, etc. Therefore, the study of factors that affect the level of profitability of the company is a very topical topic that requires further research. It has been established that profit is the main financial result and an incentive for the economic activity of enterprises, the main source of its functioning and development. In today's environment, improving financial results is a complex problem. For their continued growth, the company is interested in updating methods of mobilizing hidden opportunities and reserves, preserving existing and attracting additional resources, upgrading production facilities, focusing on the production of goods of constant and high demand, introducing organizational and technical innovations, and constantly improving the efficiency of production. The need for continuous creative analysis of factors that affect the size of the profit is emphasized. Ways to ensure the growth of financial results of agricultural enterprises by reducing the cost of production, adjusting the prices of products, increasing the technological level of production, changing the structure and volume of products, increasing soil fertility, the level of productivity, the most rational use of labor, material and financial potential are explored. All this, combined with the effect, is able to provide the company with a high level of profitability of operation, increase its level of competitiveness, increase the demand for products, develop export potential, attract new investors, update the fixed capital, improve the fertility of the soil, eventually improve the environment.

In a competitive development environment, a method is needed to quantify the usability characteristics of an interface. This quantification provides a basis for making human factors design recommendations. A methodology for comparing the usability characteristics of product interfaces with those of the competition is presented. The discussion details the steps of a competitive evaluation methodology: (1) definition of interface objectives, (2) development of a flow chart for each product interface, (3) determination of the categories of comparison based on salient and quantifiable characteristics of the interface, (4) derivation of the metrics used for comparison, and (5) the resulting comparative evaluation. The methodology was used to compare the panel (screen) format and navigation characteristics of two network controllers. The value of this methodology and its impact on the way human factors engineers contribute to product development are also discussed.

Unified geo‐reference data model is a very important part of national geographic information management. It has been developed within the project of Lithuanian geographic information infrastructure in 2006–2008. This model allows automated integration of large scale (mainly municipality) geo‐reference data into the unified national geo‐reference database. It is based on unique object identifiers across all geo‐reference databases and on standard update and harmonisation procedures. The common stages of harmonisation of geo‐reference databases at different scales include: implementation of a unique identifier of geographic objects across all databases concerned; definition of the life cycle of the objects; definition of cohesion boundary and of the harmonisation points along the boundary; maintenance of the local database and automatic update of the national database using special service. When implemented, such model will significantly facilitate maintenance of national geo‐reference database and in five years from full implementation will have a significant economic effect.
