MODERN METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO ASSESSING THE INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE REGION

Abstract

The rapidly changing geopolitical situation deforms and transforms the way of life in all sectors and spheres of Russian society, which has been established for quite a long period of time. Building a new economy is a strategic priority for the Russian government. The experience of many countries shows that high social and economic results can be achieved through the development of innovation. The strategically correct solution for the future implementation of innovations is the assessment of the innovation potential of the region, which demonstrates its readiness for innovations. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the existing domestic methods for assessing the innovation potential of the region and identify a universal methodology that best meets the current requirements of the economy of Russian regions. Within the framework of this research the following tasks have been successively solved: different approaches to defining the essence of innovation potential of a region have been considered; meso-micro level factors determining the innovation potential of a region have been analyzed; algorithms, advantages and disadvantages of the most well-known methods of assessing the innovation potential of a region have been considered. It has been concluded that there is no universal methodology – each region solves the problem of assessing the innovation potential of its regional innovation system independently, relying on the existing methodological approaches and considering the characteristics of its innovative development and the common targets of the socio-economic development from a strategic perspective. Thanks to the results of the study, the task of choosing a methodology for assessing the innovation potential of the region is simplified.
