The purpose of the article is to assess the possibility of using cluster policy in Russia’s industry as an instrument for developing dynamic competition (encouraging innovation activity). Drawing on the results of a detailed systematic review of the cluster theory, the author identifies the reason for its weak operationality: an implicit premise on entrepreneur’s passive role in the innovation process. He then attempts to remove this premise by explaining the motives of company's behavior through a modified product variety model which is tested on empirical data from the U.S. and Russia. The results of testing show that at similar level of economic activity the geographical concentration of industrial enterprises in a cluster contributes to the intensification of innovation processes. A relatively more competitive behavior of firms in a cluster is explained through the theory of industrial markets and new institutional economic theory. The analysis concludes with valuable recommendations for economic policy.

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.

In the paper the innovation management of an industrial enterprise is considered. The cooperation problem of colleges and industrial enterprises is touched upon. The regularities in scientific-engineering development of production under conditions of the formation of market economy and its crisis state are revealed. New principles ensuring the purposefulness of development are elaborated, the peculiarities in re-search work are considered. The authors have formulated the factors affect-ing the innovation development of an industrial enterprise both in the view of acceleration and from the point of view of innovation process deceleration. On the basis of the analysis carried out there is formed a program of innovation project realization at the “UK”BMP” Co. with the indication of terms and costs. The stages of program realization with measures shown increasing innovation activity efficiency are formulated.


The peculiarities of motivation formation of employees of industrial enterprises to innovation activity have been investigated. The approach to assessing employees’ motivation to innovation activity with the use of the Harrington function has been offered. The concept of motivational acceleration of innovations and motivational inertia of innovations has been proposed. Motivational acceleration refers to the period of time in years during which the investment process which is carried out by motivated employees will soon go into the profitability zone compared to the process implemented by non-motivated employees. Motivational inertia of innovation is defined as an additional period of profit-making from the innovation process as compared to the process carried out by non-motivated employees

Modern industrial enterprises play a crucial role in providing the innovation process of the national economy. They are the suppliers of high-tech products that affect the economic growth of various sectors of the economy. Despite the fact that the issue of innovative activity intensification of modern enterprises is quite actively covered by scientists, the process of innovation adoption at industrial enterprises remains insufficiently studied. Therefore, there is a need to identify the main factors of innovation adoption at industrial enterprises of Ukraine. In addition, it is important to determine the role of different funding sources for stimulating innovation adoption. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the place of financial resources in the set of innovation adoption stimulating factors and to determine the optimal structure of funding sources for industrial enterprises innovation activity. The article examines the approaches of modern scientists to the interpretation the concept of "adopted innovation" essence. The place of the innovation adoption in the innovation process is determined: it is an intermediate link between the created R&D and the commercialized one. It is determined that the innovation implementation at an enterprise depends on such aspects as: human resources, market, novations, and finance. It is noted that these aspects generate internal and external factors affecting the innovation adoption. The importance of different funding sources for stimulating innovation adoption is substantiated. Based on the data for 2000–2019, a vector autoregression model (VAR) of the new machines and equipment adoption dynamics at industrial enterprises of Ukraine under the influence of various funding sources was built. With the help of VAR-model and situational analysis it is determined that in order to maximize the number of new machines and equipment adoption at the industrial enterprises of Ukraine in the funding structure of innovative activity the predominant share should be occupied by own resources of industrial enterprises and state budget funds.

The article studies the key ways of upgrading and modernizing industry in Uzbekistan - innovation processes taking place in manufacturing and selling goods and services. It was shown that raising the economic potential of the country, which was identified as a strategic line in the development of industrial forces and attaining public progress, can be provided not only on the basis of new investment into economy or setting-up new enterprises and works but also by rational and effective use of existing resources: labour, material, finance, natural, etc. The author analyzes figures of the efficiency of Uzbekistan industry innovation activity and puts forward ways of its intensification. It was shown that innovative enterprises of Uzbekistan differ greatly from enterprises in developed countries, which function in conditions of highly-competitive market saturated by high-quality products. Production in the republic lags behind in the sphere of international quality standards, which means that a bigger part of new products is new only on the home market. In order to raise products to global standards serious costs and efforts are necessary, which are unattainable for many enterprises.

The increased attention to the theoretical issues of activation of innovation processes in the industrial sector is caused by various factors of influence, and primarily by the elimination of the technological gap between Russia and developed foreign industrial countries. To solve this problem, the author suggests focusing the priorities of innovation activity on the activation of high-tech industries. It is shown that domestic enterprises have come close to intensifying the search, development and implementation of the latest technologies, and activation of innovative activities. According to the author, the innovative activity of industrial enterprises primarily depends on the structure of production, enterprise management and organization of innovative activities.

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 article is aimed at researching the processes of establishing and developing interaction in innovative processes. The reasons for the low efficiency of innovation activity in Ukraine are analyzed and the importance of increasing the indicators of interaction in innovative processes to overcome the causes of low innovativeness of the economy is substantiated. The main elements of conceptual bases of formation of interaction systems in innovative processes are defined: formation goals, expected results, conditions for establishing interaction. Particular attention is paid to determining the range of potential participants of interaction systems and their systematization into four groups: the State, science, business, consumer. For each group, the prompting factors of establishing interaction in innovative processes and possible contribution in the course of formation of systems of interaction in innovative processes are determined. It is specified that the interests of groups of participants of interaction systems can be multidirectional and have their own criteria for the effectiveness of satisfaction. Therefore, in order to avoid conflicts and with purpose of rational mutual understanding of interests, it is proposed to evaluate the feasibility of participation in innovative processes through the indicator of the value of interaction. On the basis of the carried out study, the concept of the value of interaction in innovative processes is substantiated and the fundamental components of this concept are determined, namely: the usefulness and the cost of interaction. According to the author, the value of interaction for the participant is formed through the comparison of the received usefulness from participation in the systems of interaction to the expected costs associated with this participation. In connection with the acceleration of the dynamics of world economic processes and, in particular, innovative ones, the importance of taking into account the factor of time when assessing value is emphasized. Firstly, the interaction in the innovation process is developing, taking new forms both for partners and for different market participants. Secondly, the impact of time on the usefulness and cost of interaction can take different meanings: increase, decrease or not affect the level of value (usefulness, cost) of interaction.
