The philosophical meaning of the innovation culture
Movement
in the direction of innovation affects all subjects of social space. The
problem of innovation can be divided into a series of the following operations:
•
awareness and problematization of the person as the subject of the development
of innovative practices and policies, as well as the innovation environment;
•
finding the necessary internal resources: actualization and mobilization of efforts
and life experience;
•
outsourcing environment: establishing connections with possible economic,
social, cultural partners;
•
structural and functional organization of social space, which can be considered
as a mechanism of interaction of systems and subsystems of the social whole
that becomes a condition for innovative development;
•
creation of sustainable strategies of work, including with oneself and others
to adapt to the social and economic environment and enter new values
and ideological horizons, accompanying innovative practice.
The
structural components of the socio-cultural competence of the person in the
aspect of the phenomenology of innovation and innovation activity include:
•
social maturity;
•
«positive» value-orientation sphere(environment) of the decision-making;
• system of motivational factors in the context of full participation in
society life, as well as participation in the modernization reforms and transformations;
•
discovery and development of attitudes to understanding and recognition of
cultural and social role of innovation in society.
The
innovation process is evaluated and developed in accordance to the non-linear
model of development. In the current socio-economic and philosophical thought "prospects"
of the evolution of society towards activating in it self-organization
processes at all levels of public life are actively discussed [1].
So, global social trends (according to the predictive
analysis) included the passages:
•
from the national economy to the world (globalization of the world economy);
•
from centralization to decentralization (transfer to many-subjective
organizational systems);
•
from the institutional help to self-help (the transition from mono-subjective
(state and central) social policy to many-subjective);
•
from representative democracy to participatory (democratic on principles of
many-subjective systems);
•
from the hierarchy − to work networks (from a vertical (command))
organization of business space to the horizontal (a collaborative, coordinative);
•
from the dichotomy of "either − or" to the variety of choice
[2, p. 78].
The
research of innovations is actual and important both from economic and
socio-cultural points of view. Attaching
a strategically crucial meaning to innovation culture, it is important to
define a comprehensive approach to the problems of development of innovative
potential of the person, overcoming the innovative stagnation in society. First
of all the development of the society innovation culture is ensured by understanding
of its members the essence of the processes and their role in these processes.
Any changes in the culture appear only due to the creative activity of the
person. Man being a creation of a culture, however, is its creator.
Innovative culture of man is the area of his spiritual
life which reflects his values, fixed in the motives, knowledge, skills,
patterns and norms of behavior and providing susceptibility to the new ideas,
his willingness and ability to support and implement innovations in all spheres
of life.
The
new paradigm should lead to the establishment of a moral, active, enterprising personality
having self-esteem, strong beliefs, knowledge of their rights and the ability
to protect them, respect for the law and the desire to comply with them, the
realization of their abilities based on their capabilities. Innovative person can
independently, convincingly and conclusively substantiate his decision and
actively, insistently implement it, using all the legal possibilities of a
democratic state.
It
is obvious that the formation of the personality takes place in a particular
social and informational environment. Change of the significant qualities of
the environment inevitably leads to changes in the behavior of a person. How
deep the changes are depends, firstly, on the efforts of the person himself,
secondly, on the current situation, and thirdly, on the degree of need, desire,
interest of the person to fit this situation. The reverse is also true, the
change in the behavior of an individual and, especially, a large enough group
of individuals leads to qualitative environment changes on the informational or
the factual level. In fact, the change is of social interaction model, there is
a movement from the failed strategies to successful, productive activity and
interaction models.
Innovation
and innovational activity is the condition, the source, mechanism and the lever
of commercialization of science, it’s reforming and improving the effectiveness
of the main results and products. To be "innovative person" means the
willingness of every citizen to significant and creative change: in his own
life, in economic development, in development of science and technology, to be
an active initiator and producer of these changes. At the same time, every
citizen will play his role in the overall innovative community in accordance
with their aptitudes, interests and potential.
The
key characteristics of the innovative person are:
• the ability and willingness to lifelong learning,
continuous improvement, retraining and self-learning, professional mobility,
the desire for new;
• the ability to think critically;
• the ability and willingness to take reasonable risks,
creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, ability to work independently and
willingness to work in a team, willingness to work in a highly competitive
environment;
• broad command of foreign languages as a
communication tool for effective participation in the processes of
globalization, including the ability to free domestic, business and
professional communication in English.
Building
innovative competences is a long and complex process, which includes the need
to adapt to these goals not just individual areas of social and economic policy
(primarily, policy in the field of education), but also the social environment
as a whole, the formation of "climate" in society ensuring freedom of
expression and creativity, encouraging and rewarding people with the relevant expertise
and achieving success through their use. In order to successfully meet the
challenges of development of "innovative person" competences modernization
of the education system implemented by the state's education policy is needed.
Innovative
culture accelerates and improves the efficiency of the introduction of new
technologies and inventions in the real economy, in the field of management.
Innovative culture promotes real bureaucratic counter-trends in education – promoting
innovative disclosure of person's potential and its realization. In the field
of culture innovative potential helps to optimize the relation between
tradition and renewal, different types and kinds of cultures. Command economy
did not stimulate the emergence of innovation, in this regard the establishment
of an innovative culture has been completely stopped. There could be no question
of the formation of man interested in this activity.
Promotion
of technical and other scientific innovations is prevented by inertia and
routine decisions of public officials, requiring tremendous efforts of innovation
subjects. The emergence of innovations is based on the creative activity as a
violation of homeostasis in the interests of self-development.
Innovations
are the most important "structural" element of the socio-economic
system as a kind of integrity. In a developed and modernizing society innovations
are considered as national priority, public policy, culture strategy, goal of
personal and group «transformation», development. The leading direction of
development for all countries of XXI century is the development of a smooth
transition to the personal-centered paradigm (or model) of the socio-economic
development. Accordingly, the national priorities of the Republic of Kazakhstan
are focused on maintaining and improving the quality characteristics of the
country's population and person– his professionalism, health, culture,
morality, values, activity, motivations and etc. Allocated paradigm is
responsible for the implementation of synergistic relationships of economic
reproduction with important components such as spiritual, cultural, moral,
civic components of the process and results of social development. An active
communion of person to the innovation processes taking place in society,
support and introduction to the possible types of innovations are implemented
due to the innovative culture of the society. Innovative culture has also an
impact on spiritual perfection of the individual and society.
