Development of approaches to innovation transfer and intellectual property management to ensure enterprise competitiveness

The work deals with the problems of innovation transfer and intellectual property management at enterprises. An approach reasoning the choice of innovations and the type of their transfer at an enterprise has been developed, which increases the efficiency of innovation processes. For this purpose, the essence of the category “innovation transfer” regarding the micro-level was clarified and determined according to the sources of innovations. A set-theoretic model of innovation selection based on evaluating the essence of innovations, their generators (suppliers) and implementation conditions has been developed. For such an assessment, a set of criteria has been proposed, a number of the most essential conditions for introducing innovations at an enterprise have been identified, and an optimization model for the efficiency of the innovation development process has been developed. They allow making an informed choice of innovations in accordance with the needs of the enterprise. Evaluation criteria for the innovative potential are proposed and their essence is determined. Testing of the evaluation confirmed the possibility of using the proposed criteria. A model of innovation transfer, which presents the main processes and participants in the transfer of external and internal innovations has been developed, which allows enterprises to ensure a high level of organization and implementation of the transfer. Given the direct relationship between the transfer of innovations and intellectual property, an approach to improving intellectual property management at the enterprise is proposed. A number of principles of intellectual property management have been determined. The stages of intellectual property management at the enterprise are proposed as a set of specific actions determining all processes directly or indirectly related to such management, as well as those responsible for these processes and resource provision.

Implementation of Innovation Development Models in Agrarian Sphere of Economy at the North Caucasian Federal District, Russia

The present paper aims to analyse the problems of the innovation development component in the agricultural economy of the North Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation in terms of the operational settings of agroeconomic systems, facilities of economic entities, organisational and economic mechanisms, managerial function and prioritisation of innovation directions. The current aspects of innovation-driven development of the regional agroindustrial complex are discussed. Priorities of innovation development in agriculture and related industries of the agroindustrial complex of the North Caucasian Federal District are proposed, based on the technological reequipment of agroindustrial enterprises, instituting the innovation-driven mechanism of agroindustrial operations, building up the information, people and financial support of the innovation development system of the agroindustrial complex, ensuring proper economic conditions for implementing innovation programmes and projects, state financing of innovation activities, broad attraction of investment and improving solvency. The practical implementation of innovations should rely on a built system of regional innovation-driven development, clear and structured iterations in adopting all groups of innovations in agroindustrial sectors based on centralised vertical alignment between all branches of government and horizontal cross-departmental cooperation. A crucial regulatory role in this process should be played by government structures across economic and education sectors closely tied with agroindustrial production. Effective implementation of innovation policies will depend on ensuring proper economic conditions for putting forward innovation programmes and projects, on the availability of state funding to support innovation activities, attracting investment in the innovation sphere, advancing entrepreneurship and commercialisation of innovation projects. The identification of factors inhibiting the adoption of innovation in the agroeconomy of the North Caucasian Federal District and current trends in innovation activities of enterprises and operations suggests a conclusion concerning the need for a systemic approach to innovation in the region taking into account national interests and makes the basis for further proposals of scientifically-based directions of economic transformations and coordination of efforts between all government structures engaged in this process and responsible for solving these tasks. The findinmgs of this paper can be used by the control bodies of the regional agroindustrial complex, by the students of agricultural colleges and other public and private entities of the North Caucasian Federal District for better economic transformations and coordination.

TECHNOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE IN POLAND AND BELARUS

The article provides a detailed analysis of the most significant technological factors that determine the investment climates of Belarus and Poland. According to the authors, the main technological determinants influencing investment decisions include: Global Innovation Rankings, R&D financing, level of introduction of advanced technology, digitalization of the economy, development of e-services and maturity of technology transfer mechanisms. The research shows, that among the factors of technological development there are both positively and negatively affecting the investment climate of the studied countries. The authors proved that despite the similar past and the commonality of a number of trends in the development of the technological environment of investment activity, Belarus fails to keep pace with Poland in the level of innovation development. This suggests that Polish investments are beneficial for Belarus not only from a financial, but also from a technological point of view.

REGIONAL FEATURES OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND DIFFERENTIATION OF DIRECTIONS OF INNOVATION POLICY OF RUSSIA

In our manuscript we have made an attempt to study specific sides of Russian Federation’s innovative development, analyze its impact in economy growth and provide main ways of innovative policy realization in different types of regions. The method is based on partial abstraction from the unique properties of each region, thereby uniting them into homogeneous groups using k-means method. Further analysis of the determination of the main factor at the level of country was carried out using decision trees functions with the subsequent collection of OOB errors. Group analysis was carried out using regression analysis. As a result, the authors obtained five types of regions (with a high, above average, average, below average, low level of innovative development), provided an individual characteristic for each group regarding the innovation development and identified prerogative innovative factors that can be considered by the state as a criterion for differentiating state policy and regulation of the development of innovation policy.
