Methodological Aspects

The article is aimed at improving the scientific-methodological aspects of assessing the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise in the context of implementation of sustainable development goals. The role and state of machine-building enterprises as the basis for the development of the national economy in the format of innovative ones is highlighted. For the first time, on the basis of a comprehensive approach, indicators for assessing the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise (on the example of the machine-building industry) are elaborated in the context of the implementation of sustainable development goals of the 21st century. At the same time, the Conception of sustainable development is positioned as a synthesis of two most important ideas, i.e.: 1) development should be balanced, which involves solving economic, social and environmental problems and achieving an equilibrium between them, and this causes the overall level and quality of life of the population; 2) the current generation has a duty to future generations to leave sufficient reserves of resources (natural, social and economic) in order to ensure their level of welfare, not lower than the current one. It is proposed to supplement the elaborated indicators with three specific indicators of patent-licensing activity as a factor in improving the efficiency of management of the innovative enterprise in the context of economic, environmental and social aspects. In particular: 1) the number of security documents for intellectual property objects, in which the methods that reduce the production of individual goods or services (economic component) are patented; 2) the number of security documents for intellectual property rights, in which the methods of more environmental production of goods or services (ecological component) are patented; 3) the number of security documents for intellectual property rights, which patent ways to improve the efficiency of employees, that is, improving working conditions (social component). On the basis of formalization method and comprehensive approach, a universal format of results of evaluation of the efficiency of management of an innovative enterprise in the context of implementation of sustainable development goals is recommended. The result of its application should be timely elimination of problems, identification of causes and zeroing out consequences of ineffective management of the enterprise, which will lead to increased profits from innovation activities and efficiency of investments in environmental innovations, will form a safe environment, increase the level of satisfaction of vital interests of employees of the enterprise and the population in general.

The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (hereafter known as the Convention) was adopted within the framework of UNESCO in October 2003. Article 2 of the Convention establishes that intangible cultural heritage (ICH) must be compatible with sustainable development. Sustainable development in relation to culture consists of three intertwined dimensions: society, environment, and economy. Chapter 6 of the Operational Directives for the Implementation of this Convention establishes a framework related to “environmental sustainability”. The framework consists of three pillars. The first pillar relates to “environmental impacts in the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage”. The second pillar relates to “knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe”. The final pillar concerns “community-based resilience to natural disasters and climate change”. Through analysis of the Convention, the Convention’s Operational Directives and elements of intangible cultural heritage inscribed on the Representative List of the Convention, this article will provide case studies where, in line with these pillars, intellectual property rights, particularly geographical indications, aim to support environmentally friendly practices. In so doing, this article will also seek to show that intellectual property rights can recognise communities as bearers of knowledge about nature and as essential actors in sustaining the environment. Indeed, this work will suggest that although intellectual property rights, if not carefully drafted, can pose risks for environmental sustainability, when correctly adopted they have the capacity to empower communities. Thus, the aim of this work is to show how intellectual property rights can be tools to facilitate safeguarding and sustainability for both intangible cultural heritage and the environment.
