Introduction. The purpose of the study is to analyse the level of Russia's science and technology system and to determine the country's placein the international rankings by comparing the performance metrics achieved so far with the showings of the world's leading S&T powers, followed by the appropriate managerial decision-making in the areas requiring the government's immediate attention. Methods. The research tools employed are statistical data grouping, comparative analysis and the formal logical methods. Results and Discussion. Since 2014, various factors (namely foreign policy and economic factors, geopolitical situation, oil market volatility and instability of the national currency) have acted as catalysts of crisis in the national economy, leading to a decline in Russia's international rankings. Following a degree of adaptation to the external changes and a partial economic recovery by 2018-2020, Russia's position has levelled off, but the pre-crisis levels have yet to be achieved. The results of the survey show an overall positive dynamic, with the most significant progress observable in the rankings that characterise competitiveness of the national economy. Conclusion. The findings of the study have practical relevance and can be used to adjust the national policy on scientific and technological development.

In the context of globalization (Acuña, 2011) and the pressure of sanction on the national economy of the Russian Federation, the problem of the provision of competitiveness of industrial companies stands out. Economic policy in the national economy, oriented more towards the raw material component, has ceased to correspond to the modern requirements of society. In relation to this provision, new state priorities appeared, focused on improving scientific and technological development, innovation and modernization of the industrial complex, etc., which, in turn, requires the development of new mechanisms and appropriate instruments for the regulation of economic relations in the industrial sector, and the implementation of government support for the industry. However, it must be recognized that federal and regional sustainable development programs and industrial management mechanisms used in modern realities are not effective enough because they generally aim at the isolated solution of local problems. It is indisputable and obvious to all that it is impossible to reach the level of global competition without the progressive and competitive development of the main industries. One of the most constructive solutions to this problem is the cluster approach. Our country has some experience and achievements. So in 2012, employees of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation developed a group-oriented program, the implementation of which involves twenty-five industrial groups. Cluster technologies allow the creation of synergistic and multiplier effects, which, in the end, is a boost for the development of economic growth. But despite all the preferences of the cluster approach, national cluster technologies were unable to implement their advantages, indicating the continued stagnation of industrial production. In this way, the purpose of this research is to study the possibilities of effective use of cluster technologies in the Russian industrial field.

The paper attempts to evaluate the basic quality determinants to substantiate the reasons for an inefficient system of spatial development institutions in the Russian Federation. To do this, institutional economic theory tools, hierarchical analysis, the postulates of systems theory are applied to propose and to characterize the following quality parameters of the spatial development institutions system: 1) objectivity which implies that the changes in the spatial development institutions system match the material conditions of the national economy performance; 2) the connections between the system’s elements, which determines the equilibrium in the development of direct and reverse, vertical and horizontal links in the system; 3) the coherence of the goals and functions of the system's elements, which preserves the consistence in the functional content for spatial development institutions at different hierarchical levels; 4) the degree of diversity, taking into account the degree of institutional conditions invariance in the regions under the national policy for spatial development; 5) efficiency as a multidimensional quality criterion for the spatial development institutions system. The spatial development institutions system has been found to be inefficient as regards all quality determinants in question: the system reproduces the Soviet spatial planning principles which restrain the focus on innovations in the national economy; reverse and horizontal connections ensuring the system’s integrity and adaptability, as well as the possibility to benefit from the regional economy specialization are not developed; the goals of formal and informal institutions at different levels of the hierarchy are not coordinated; the institutional differences and degrees of spatial development are ignored in the Russian Federation regional policy; the criteria of cost effectiveness and efficiency are not met. As a result, the current spatial development institutions system in the Russian Federation does not contribute into achieving the main objective for the territorial organization of the economy, which is to narrow the interregional gap between the level and quality of life by promoting and stimulating efficient interregional cooperation. The paper concludes that the identified quality determinants for the spatial development institutions system are likely to be a tool to set more precise strategic imperatives for the necessary changes in the system in Russia.

"The transition of Russia to sustainable economic growth is impossible without stimulating the use of the achievements of science and education, high technologies, promoting innovative activity as an essential premise for the development of social production and subjects of economic relations. For the state, the promotion of innovation is a priority in the economic policy sector, since it is the level of scientific and technological development that largely determines the long-term strategic advantages of the country, and the prospects for the development of the state largely dependent on the level of innovation development. For a long time, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has been implementing the Strategy for Innovative Development of the Russian Federation. It includes 20 key steps and is developed based on the provisions of the concept of long-term development of the Russian Federation. The main results should have been, firstly, an increase in spending on science and innovation, and secondly, an increase in the share of industrial enterprises that introduce innovations in production. It was assumed that their share will increase by 4-5 times by 2020, compared with 2010 year. Not everything has been achieved, and there is a lot to strive for. This study is devoted to the driver of scientific and technological progress - the chemical complex of Russia. The chemical complex plays a significant role in the implementation of the most important socio-economic programs of the country. The study is devoted to the consideration of the most important prospects and key alternatives for the development of the chemical industry related to different areas of innovation. Conclusions will be made on key technologies and products that can change the position of the chemical industry in the global market."

The article discusses a new technology in the field of administration – a method of data-based management. In the field of education, analytics is the necessary manager’s competence to fulfill his work duties. The author identified the problem of transforming legal norms when working with open data, which did not affect the change in institutional and cultural norms of “data- based management” in managerial decision-making practice. The article provides a comparative analysis of the professional standards’ requirements and educational programs for the managerial personnel’s professional development in the field of education. The author analyzed two aspects of the development of a data-based management system: personnel – the development of educational programs for training managerial specialists who can use such technology, and infrastructure – the development of digital open data services and digital data processing services for making managerial decisions. The tasks of developing education through the analysis of data for assessing its quality are reflected in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On national goals and strategic objectives for the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024” and can be implemented based on the professional capital of managers using tools for analyzing such data. It is necessary to improve the interaction of electronic information exchange services for more effective information interaction and the construction of analytical reporting. This will allow for the efficient integration of data from different information systems and electronic resources and obtain the necessary data of the information of interest.
