Simplified mechanism of state support of innovative activity

 

Experience of the last decades testifies that among the basic factors of competitiveness of countries the main one is introduction of effective mechanisms of innovative politics, which provide the competitiveness of economy.

The main problem question is forming of foundation remains for effective work of Ukraine on international markets. But it is impossible in default of innovations and mechanisms of providing of favorable terms for international commercialization of results of scientific and technical activity, that answer mutual interests of the Ukrainian and foreign partners, adaptation of the Ukrainian normatively-legal base in the field of innovative activity to world practice.

We offer to present all afore-mentioned features of innovative activity of Ukraine as a table of SWOT-analysis (table 1-2).

 

Table 1 – Opportunities and treats of innovative activity

 

Opportunities

Treats

1. experience of innovative development of countries-leaders and developing countries

2. lots of information about possible directions of innovative development

3. post crisis state of economies of many countries of the world

 

1. unclear position of the developed countries of the world to Ukraine

2. a technological abyss between the developed countries and Ukraine

3. a considerable level of competition  from the side of foreign enterprises

 


 

Table 2 – Strengths and weaknesses of innovative activity

 

Strengths

Weaknesses

1. high level of secondary and higher education

2. high level of the scientific sector development

3. considerable resource potential of the country

4. development of communication networks.

5. positive progress of information technologies

6. flexible level of labour

7. a capacity for innovative activity

8.  a capacity for the collaboration of scientific and production sectors of the country

 

1. permanent diminishing of amount of enterprises engaged in development and introduction of innovations

2. low level of science in industrial production

3. expense of money on acquisition of equipment instead of development of the innovative system and not on R&D

4. state’s insufficient support

5. absence of high-quality legislation in the sphere of innovative activity

6. absence of effective facilities of stimulation and motivation of innovative activity

7. political instability

8. unstable financial state of domestic enterprises

 

Though it is possible to draw a conclusion, that basic market possibility for today is a study and analysis of experience of state support of innovative activity in the different countries of the world. And results of this analysis must be the developments of clear mechanism of state support of innovative activity in Ukraine.

Thus, reasoning from the results of research [1] it is possible to form the simplified mechanism of state support of innovative activity (fig.1), which is general for entire countries and shows basic elements which are needed for innovative development of the state.

Thus, conversation about effective politics in the sphere of international cooperation has not a single sense in the absence of the own national innovative system and necessary infrastructure. Therefore, a major step in this direction is creation of mechanism of innovative activity support and development up-country.
