The paper offers insights to foreign and domestic studies on building and utilization of labor potential which has revealed the lack of knowledge of innovative labor potential which in modern realia makes the most valuable strategic asset of company development. The current classification of the structural elements of labor potential has been specified and complemented by adding an innovative component which includes physiological, demographic, psychosocial, intellectual, qualification and value-based components. Evaluation of the nature of the innovative labor potential category has allowed to identify its core elements (intellectual and creative) as well as the stages of its implementation: innovative thinking, innovative activity, innovative efforts. The following factors influencing the company innovative labor potential formation have been identified: globalization, modernization and informatization of manufacturing processes, government policy in the area of education and science, national and regional innovation policy, etc. Regional specifics that underpins the local business innovative labor potential has been revealed affecting sector-specific regional development; the level of regional innovative infrastructure development; the education level of the employed population; the availability of business R&D potential; business innovation activity level. The study has also identified the key trends in building and enhancing the company innovative labor potential which traced a decline in active working age population; an increase in the share of employed population with higher and secondary vocational education, etc. The research findings on the degree of innovative activity development of company labor potential have demonstrated: a high education level of the workforce (53% of the employed have higher education degrees; insufficient level of creative activity and utilization of intellectual potential. The conclusions provide evidence on the lack of an effective framework on managing innovative labor potential and ultimately – low innovative capacity in the manufacturing sector. It is argued that the main reasons for underutilization of employee innovative labor potential are the ineffective methods of labor potential management, the lack of a clear motivation and stimulation strategy (50%) along with the failure to use employee creative potential (29%). The proposed model of building an innovative labor potential ranking which combines the capabilities and benefits of rating and rating management allows for reasoned decision-making in a targeted and sound stimulation and motivation of innovative and inventive activities.

The article identifies the problems of state regulation of innovation in construction and substantiates the main directions of improving its efficiency. The Bloomberg Innovation Index was used to assess the general state of innovation in Ukraine. Dynamic analysis of Ukraine's position in the ranking of the Bloomberg Innovation Index as a whole and by individual sub-indices of 2018–2020 revealed such problems as the reduction of production of high-tech goods, labor productivity, intensity of research and development. The study of innovation management was performed using a situational approach. It is established that the state regulation of innovation is mainly based on the methods of indirect influence. It is emphasized that in the conditions of economic crisis it is expedient to prefer methods of direct state regulation. The analysis revealed a range of problems related to forecasting and programming of innovation development, organization and coordination of relevant bodies in the implementation of innovation policy, regulation, financial and investment support for innovation, insufficient stimulation of demand for innovative products, unsatisfactory state of protection of intellectual property rights. The problems of state management of innovation activity are specified. The imbalance of the branch, national and regional programs of innovative development coordinating was revealed. Problems and directions of development of infrastructure of innovative activity are defined. Perspective directions of technological renewal of construction are defined, in particular development of resource-saving, energy-efficient technologies, introduction of Building Information Modeling technologies. The organization of public and private mortgage funds is offered, which will allow to receive financial resources at a low interest rate. It is established that the underdevelopment of the financial market of Ukraine most slows down the solution of problems of financing innovative activities in construction through the attraction of credit, venture capital, state budget funds for innovative development of the construction sector.

The article analyzes trends in innovative development at the national, regional and municipal levels of the Russian economy. The situation of innovation stagnation in the country is revealed, which occurred despite the active innovation policy pursued by the Federal government. As a result of the study of statistical indicators, it was found that low innovation activity in the Russian economy is due to the fact that innovation growth is significantly slowing down at the regional level. The authors concluded that the sharp differentiation of innovative production volumes in the Russian regions is a consequence of the gap in the interaction of economic levels, as well as the weak involvement of municipalities in the innovation process. Within the framework of the study, a scheme of interaction between government authorities for the development of innovative activities at the municipal level has been developed.

The features of state regulation of innovation in Ukraine at the present stage are investigated. The directions of innovation policy in Ukraine are analyzed, the features of investment and innovation in the Kharkov region are highlighted. The role of entrepreneurship in introducing innovations is clarified. The state of innovation in Ukraine is analyzed by international indices: Global Innovation Index, Bloomberg Innovation Index, Global Competitiveness Index. It is emphasized that in the current environment technological development should provide a set of measures, including targeted support for priority areas of innovation, creating a favorable economic climate, stimulating interest in the implementation of scientific and technological achievements, and the inflow of investment into fixed capital through a powerful legislative base. It is noted that in the modern economy, a noticeable and relatively quick success in the technological as well as socio-economic development of the regions can only be achieved by ensuring high market competitiveness of the manufacturing sector of the regional economy based on its innovative, structural and technological restructuring. Attention is focused on the fact that the process of innovative development in Ukraine is increasingly characterized by the increasing role of the regional component, and regional innovation policy is becoming an important factor in the economic and social development of the country. It is proved that the innovation activity carried out in any society and leading to the creation of an innovative product that represents the latest achievements in the field of technology, technology, organization and management cannot occur in the economy without attracting investments in the production potential of societies. Structural adjustment processes taking place in Ukraine should not bypass the scientific and industrial potential of the regions. That is why the strategy of innovative development of the national economy should include the development of each individual region. Each region should have its own priority development areas in accordance with its own scientific and industrial base, based on the potential of the region’s production capabilities, focusing on available resources and market needs.

The main purpose of the research is to determine the role of innovation of agrarian enterprises for their effective management, as well as analysis of the internal and external environment of innovation activity of agrarian enterprises, their threats and opportunities with the help of SWOT-analysis. The systematization of literary sources and approaches to innovative activity of agrarian enterprises made it possible to generalize that the fundamental questions related to the interpretation of the essence of innovations, innovation activity and innovative processes of enterprises, with the specifics of their manifestation in agrarian enterprises, were investigated by domestic and foreign scientists as well as regulated by normative- legal acts. The urgency of solving this scientific problem lies in the fact that the determining factor of the efficiency of economic activity of the enterprise is their innovative development, which is based on the introduction and implementation of innovations, which determine the improvement of its activities, affect the strengthening of its market positions and produce suitable conditions for its development. One of the promising areas for innovations is the agrarian sector. Introduction of innovations in practice in all spheres of agrarian enterprises contributes to: the increase of labor productivity, decrease of expenses and cost of production, saving of various kinds of resources, increase of volumes and improvement of efficiency of agrarian production. The article analyzes the main directions of IT innovations in agrarian business, innovative solutions (products) and opportunities. It is determined, that any agrarian enterprise has its own peculiarities and specificity and requires individual innovative solutions. The management of the company often can easily identify, what is needed to increase the efficiency. And sometimes the services of analysts and IT consultants, who are professionals of their business, and can unmistakably determine the individual needs and decisions, can be useful. The peculiarities of formation and development of innovation process in agriculture were analyzed. A SWOT analysis of innovative activity of agrarian enterprises was conducted, which allowed to identify their strengths (weaknesses) sides, opportunities and threats. The results of the research can be useful for scientists, specialists and heads of agrarian enterprises, teachers of higher educational establishments, postgraduates, students and all those, who are interested in problems of development and efficiency of innovation activity.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the dynamics of regional innovation development and compare the Russian regions according to their innovation efficiency, used resources, and achieved results. To estimate direct and indirect innovation effects, this study used the data on Russian regions according to variables of the innovative product volume, the share of high-tech products in the gross regional product (GRP) structure, the number of used patents, and investment in innovation activity for 2006–2017. To obtain a representative sample, a cluster analysis was applied as a preliminary step, which made it possible to select a group of regions that were most advanced in terms of their innovative development. Output-oriented data envelopment analysis models were applied for Malmquist Productivity Index calculation. The obtained results indicate the average growth of total factor productivity of regional innovation development over time. The main source of innovative development is largely derived from the economy of scale, while the effectiveness of regional innovation systems is basically increasing through broader resource bases, rather than through its effective utilization. The research findings can be applied to diagnose regional innovation effectiveness, justify public investment in research and development (R & D), and identify the priorities of regional innovation policy for specific regions.

The article seeks to explore the key categories that characterize the phenomenon of innovative entrepreneurship. It is specified that from the conceptual and categorical perspectives, the innovative activity of business entities is considered as a complex characteristic with a range of complementary definitions which demonstrate ambiguity and contradiction in their interpretation. The domestic and foreign economic literature review has revealed that there is neither a common conceptual framework in this field of scientific knowledge, nor a harmonized definition of even such basic categories as innovation, novelties, invention, entrepreneurship, innovation activity, etc. among modern scholars and practitioners. The primary sources in the history of economic thought in the area of innovative entrepreneurship can be traced back to remote past, found in the works of foreign economists and political economists who developed a number of theories and concepts revealing the nature, forms and specific features of innovative activity, as well as suggesting methods and pathways to enhance its development. The study offers a more specified definition of innovative entrepreneurship viewing it as a complex category which entails such notions as innovation, entrepreneurship, innovation process, innovation activity, innovation environment, etc. The research findings provide argument why innovative entrepreneurship is critical for effective development of the national economy. The suggested methodological approach argues for the need to explore the innovative entrepreneurship concept both at the micro- and the macrolevels.

Innovative development is a prerequisite for the long-term sustainable functioning of agro-industrial enterprises. Activation of the innovation process, considered as a prerequisite for economic growth, is constrained by the lack of formalized decision-making apparatus and the assessment of its consequences. In order to manage the innovative development of agroindustrial enterprises in contemporary conditions, it is necessary to study the theoretical and methodological foundations of modeling and forecasting of their innovation activity, which has become a characteristic tendency of the economic situation in agriculture in recent years. The complexity of agricultural production and its specificity determine the peculiarity of approaches and methods of managing innovation activity, combining different types of innovations, strengthening the role of the state in their promotion. The agrarian sector of the economy is practically completely dependent on foreign manufacturers of technology, which, of course, also reduces the level of food security of our country. The existing innovative potential in agriculture in Ukraine is not used in full. The meaning of state innovation policy is that, while maintaining the accumulated scientific and technical potential to the maximum extent, and develop mechanisms that stimulate not only the development of innovative processes, but also the development of their results. The main directions of innovation policy in agriculture include: provision of legal regulation of innovation development and protection of the interests of its participants; implementation of direct and indirect support of agricultural producers in the creation and development of innovations; definition and implementation of the priority development of agrarian industrial complex; development of effective forms of partnership and cooperation, formation of appropriate organizational and economic structures; training of personnel in the field of innovation activity; priority development of material and technical base; development of international cooperation in the field of innovations. The state, based on the recommendations of science, should be called in a timely manner to send agribusiness clear and clear signals about the most promising areas of production activity, to orientate and direct its business activity in the necessary direction for society, to indicate ways to overcome the lag of our agriculture from the level of highly developed countries of the world.
