Abstract This article presents the main elements of the creation of the pro-innovation policy as a new public policy. For understanding this kind of policy we should analyse the structural and functional aspects this public policy. The main concept of structural description pro-innovation policy is a National Innovation System. NIS is being analysed as a sub-functional part of the political system as a whole. This sub-functional political system should also have social and institutional connections. Furthermore, pro-innovation activity is connected with the market, state, and social aspects. The pro-innovation policy and system must be based on social endogenous resources, needs, and possibilities. These are the basic factors for legitimisation and participation, which are crucial elements for the effective implementation of the pro-innovation policy.

The main aim of the research was to develop cognitive instruments that allow justification of decisions in national innovation policy. In the theoretical part of research fundamentals of national innovation policies of EU-members and Ukraine were compared to reveal factors that can accelerate innovation development. In the empirical part of research the analysis of innovation capability of Ukrainian enterprises was conducted based on financial, statistic and management reports and it confirmed that companies systematically conducted innovation activities, reached higher levels of innovation potential, innovative business opportunities and margin of economic security and, consequently, have more innovative capacities for innovation of all types. The formation of cognitive analytical base allowed the application of scenario modelling at the level of public management of innovation activity. Cognitive modelling approach was justified firstly by increased volatility in economic conditions of modern realities of crisis in the national economy, and secondly high-cost and risky innovations, fast diffusion of information resources during the introduction of innovation processes, and thirdly, the presence of the mutual influence of objects of national innovation system.

The article explains the necessity and important role of innovation in industry and shows their impact on economy. There are indicators characterizing the position of Russian highly technological products on global market. Causes of low competitiveness of Russian producers were revealed. The article demonstrates the importance of new technologies for attaining sustainable development of industrial enterprises and analyzes indicators of innovation activity, which discloses the uneven development of the innovation system in different regions of the country. The authors ground the necessity of Russian industry passing over to a new level of development and identify the key lines in shaping the innovative infrastructure of regions. They underline specific features of pursuing innovation policy in Russia, highlight principle problems hindering the development of innovation processes and propose ways of their overcoming. A set of measures was designed aimed at smoothing out the lag of private sector development from the state one and at stimulating research and developments in the private sector. Research findings can be used to correct regional strategies of innovation development.

Who produces scientific and technical knowledge these days? What type of knowledge is being produced, and for what purposes? This chapter studies the role of public policy in knowledge production (especially R&D activities) relevant for the innovation process from a perspective of innovation systems. It identifies four typical policy-related obstacles and barriers related to knowledge production in an innovation system. Next, it elaborates a set of overall criteria for the selection and design of relevant policy instruments addressing those unbalances. Most importantly, the chapter argues that in most countries innovation policy continues to be subsumed under research policy. An holistic and problem-oriented innovation policy requires that innovation policy and research policy are separated from each other in the design phase—but it must be ensured that they support each other when implemented (in the same way as many other policy areas have to be coordinated with each other).

Organizations are crucial elements in innovation systems. Yet, their role is so ubiquitous that it is difficult to grasp and to examine all kinds of organization that are present in an innovation system. The purpose of this chapter is to define the conceptual basis of innovation policy in relation to the role of organizations, looking in particular at the roles of entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship as examples of organizational change. In so doing, this chapter aims at making three contributions. Firstly, it defines the roles of entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship in the innovation system, a crucial topic in understanding innovation dynamics and its blurring boundaries. Secondly, it identifies some common entrepreneurship- and intrapreneurship-related obstacles and barriers in the innovation system, and examines the policy instruments to solve or mitigate them. Thirdly, it discusses the limits of public policy and suggests key issues in the design of innovation policy.

In the study, the general dimensions of public policy in national innovation systems are associated with the factors of its failures. The perspectives of policy facilitating the shape of actors’ motivation are analyzed in detail. The paper studies the problems of technology spillover regulation and of keeping a balance between innovation risk compensation and making actors willing to take innovation risks. The paper also considers the structural factor related to the peculiarity of innovation activity on various mesolevels of the system and to information asymmetries. The opportunities of the structural factor to enhance innovation performance are investigated.

Improving the efficiency of the automotive industry largely depends on the innovation activity of the region and the country as a whole. This implies the need to form a high-quality national innovation system. It should include large-scale R&D, fundamental and applied industry research with substantial finan-cial investments in the development and implementation of innovative technologies, and all activities in this area should be based on a competent innovation policy. Due to the current political instability, potential sanc-tions measures by the United States and the West, the unstable economic situation of business, due to re-strictions due to COVID-19 (lack of demand, large losses, insufficient resource base), such a system cannot be created only by the efforts of market structures. Thus, state participation in regulating the development and support of knowledge-intensive enterprises is relevant today.

Relevance of the research. Today's rapid global development is due to the latest technological changes brought about by another (fourth) industrial revolution, which opens up a window of opportunities for many countries to realize their intellectual potential and thus enhance their competitiveness. The innovative imperative, together with the government inclusive policy, remains a key driver of socio-economic growth and sustainable development. The subject of the research is innovative processes in Ukraine and factors that influence their course in the context of implementing the state innovation policy. The purpose of this article is to identify characteristic tendencies of the innovative development of Ukraine, to justify the identified problems and factors of influence, as well as to work out recommendations concerning directions for increasing the effectiveness of innovation policy in the implementation of socio-economic objectives, approved by the authorities. Methodology of work – the principles of innovation theories and economic growth; concepts of open innovation, innovative systems, 4.0-industry; the principles of the scientific and technological paradigm. The state of some innovation indicators has been assessed with the help of statistical analysis. Based on a systematic approach the problems of innovative development of Ukraine have been identified. Structuring and synthesis methods were used to develop proposals for strengthening the role of the innovation factor in ensuring economic growth. The results of the work are the following: the state of innovation processes in Ukraine is carried out and assessed, problems are identified and paradoxes are characterized – all that which makes the realization of the set goals of the state innovation policy more complicated and requires the development of measures to create a new model of the national innovation system. Conclusions. The negative phenomena in the sphere of innovation activity pose a threat to the economic and technological security of Ukraine, which requires urgent actions by both the senior political leadership of the state and the executive authorities at all levels. The creation of the innovative system based on the use of market mechanisms and the state active scientific, technological and innovation policy should be the basis for the development of knowledge-based sectors, their long-term competitiveness within the national borders and in the world markets.

AbstractMany studies raise doubts about the effectiveness of the institutions, programmes and instruments that shape the Chinese national innovation system. This article scrutinizes central–local interactions in the national Torch Programme that has governed a large group of high-technology zones since 1988. The Torch Programme's procedural practices challenge widely shared assumptions about the dirigiste character of Chinese innovation policy. It combines centralized definition of programme objectives with extensive local implementation experiments. As three case studies demonstrate, bottom-up policy innovations are effectively fed back into national programme adjustments and into horizontal policy diffusion. The array of organizational patterns and promotional instruments that emerges from competitive “experimentation under the shadow of hierarchy” (ESH) goes way beyond what could have been initiated from top down. We hypothesize that the procedural strengths displayed in the Torch Programme may provide better indicators of future innovative potential in China's high-technology zones than retrospective statistical indices and benchmarks that are derived from OECD experience.
