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.
