Research background: In the literature, there is a discussion on the importance of the spatial distance from the user in the context innovation activity. However, most of this kind of studies concentrate on exporting enterprises and compare them to domestic ones. Exporting activity is very important for catching-up countries, because of technology transfer in its background. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to determine whether the innovative activity in Poland’s manufacturing system is a consequence of close interactions (local and regional), or perhaps conditioned by the imperative of functioning on the national and international market. The main hypothesis was that on the current development level of Poland, the relationship between the range of sales and innovation activities are different from those in the more developed countries. Methods: Empirical studies was created in 2006–2012 as a result of the systematic collection of questionnaires filled by manufacturing enterprises in Poland from all regions (5209 correct fulfilled questionnaires). Methodical analysis was based on the theory of probability — probit modeling, because dependent variables were binary (0 or 1). Findings & Value added: Local and regional space is not stimulating innovation activity in opposite to national one. High intensity observed only when the company has been working on the international market. It means that the industry maturity level in Poland is good enough for creating a domestic innovation environment. This kind of an aggregation level should be stimulated by the government innovation policy.

Labor Potential

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.

A comparative analysis of innovation activity in the Russian Federation and EU countries is carried out. The comparison revealed that modern innovation policy should be aimed not only at increasing labor productivity, but also at solving social problems related to ensuring food security, environmental protection and improving the quality of life of the population. Maintaining a balance between the demand for digital technology and the supply of high-tech products on the market is a basic element in the transition to a new stage of scientific and technological structure. Factors that negatively affect the development and implementation of technological, organizational and marketing innovations are identified. It is shown that the synchronization of the chain of implementation of all newly created or improved technologies ensuring the continuity of the innovation cycle requires the combined efforts of all subjects of innovation. The level of diffusion of innovative activity in federal districts of the Russian Federation is estimated. It is concluded that there is a significant differentiation of regional and sectoral intensity of innovative development. It is substantiated that in order to reduce regional differentiation when introducing advanced practices into the production process, one should take into account the type of innovative activity. According to the attractiveness for investment, digital economy instruments are divided into three categories that characterize one or another stage of their life cycle: maturity, sustainable growth, and a breakthrough trend. It was revealed that the further massive penetration of technological innovations into all links of the production chain should clearly follow the global trends of production digitalization, where the key factor for the success of innovation-oriented companies is the search for the most promising investment projects at the stage of filing a patent application. Based on the analysis, recommendations were developed to stimulate innovative susceptibility in the regions of Russia.

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 Impact

In the contemporary world, the sustainable development of national economies is impossible without the timely and high-quality implementation of innovation. The prompt use of innovations is considered to be the key to obtaining and maintaining both new and existing competitive advantages of both individual enterprises and the economy in general. This study aims to determine the dependence of national economic growth (based on the example of Ukraine and Poland) on the innovative activities of enterprises and innovative policies of governments, as well as the development of the improvement offers concerning the innovative policy of Ukraine based on international experience. The impact of innovation indicators on the level of GDP per capita in Ukraine and Poland over the period from 2000 to 2018 has been studied in the article. The most important factors of influence on the GDP per capita, through multivariate statistical analysis and regression analysis, were identified from the list of indicators of innovation activity, and the regression equation was constructed. For Ukraine, such factors are the “innovativeness of enterprises” (that explains the 34.19% of total dispersion), the “innovative inputs” (that explains the 17.11% of dispersion) factors and factor of “financing and implementation of innovations” (that explains 27.8% of the total dispersion). For Poland, the factor of “innovative activity” explains 44.35% of dispersion, and the factor of “innovative actions” explains 38.47% of total dispersion. Moreover, the suggestions involving innovation policy development of Ukraine are provided.

Strategic Issue

AbstractForeign Direct Investment represents a strategic issue within countries' industrial policies, provided there is a widespread expectation this particular kind of investment can cause positive shocks on host markets' overall capabilities. Our argument, in consonance with dedicated literature, is that these contributions do not take place without "frictions", and that there is a significant complementarity between FDI's effects and the innovation policy framework (particularly those initiatives that influence the existent level of systemic absorptive capacities). Using panel datasets for developing and developed countries we estimate production functions taking labor productivity, industrial value added, and high-tech exports as output indicators of National Innovation Systems. Through the application of interaction terms we find that levels of absorptive capacity measured by aggregate R&D expenditures determine the effective generation of benefits arising from multinational firms, while human capital conditions seem to play a marginal mediating role in this process.  RESUMENLa inversión directa extranjera representa una cuestión estratégica dentro de las políticas industriales, lo que se justifica por la expectativa generalizada respecto a los shocks positivos en las capacidades generales de los mercados anfitriones de este tipo particular de inversión. Nuestro argumento, en consonancia con la literatura especializada, es que estas contribuciones no tienen lugar sin "fricciones", y que hay una complementariedad significativa entre los efectos de la IDE y el marco de políticas de innovación (en particular las iniciativas que influyen en el nivel existente de las capacidades sistémicas de absorción). A partir de un conjunto de datos de panel para países desarrollados y en desarrollo, se estiman funciones de producción que tienen la productividad del trabajo, el valor añadido industrial y las exportaciones de alta tecnología como indicadores representativos de los Sistemas Nacionales de Innovación. A través de la aplicación de los términos de interacción, encontramos que los niveles de capacidad de absorción medido por el gasto agregado en I+D determinan la generación de efectivo de los beneficios derivados de empresas multinacionales, mientras que las condiciones de capital humano parecen jugar un papel mediador marginal en este proceso.

Intellectual Potential

This article seeks to address the pressing issue of developing the innovative activity of the domestic economy through the use of the potential of small and medium-sized enterprises, which has to do with the possibility of application of existing experience of the more developed foreign countries in order to achieve economic success. The purpose of this study is to examine the trends in the development of innovative activity of small and medium-sized enterprises in Ukraine, as well as to determine the distribution of the total amount of expenditures by areas of innovation. Analysis of the literature on this issue has shown that the economic development of a country depends on many factors, and the use of intellectual potential is quite a significant factor in modern society. The relevance of this issue is supported by the fact that the majority of developed countries that have high levels of national income and are distinguished by the quality of life of the population are introducing the latest innovative inventions and using them appropriately in: production, agriculture, trade and other fields of activity. The research of the development of innovation activity of small and medium-sized enterprises in the article is carried out in the following logical sequence: analysis of small and medium-sized enterprises in Ukraine, analysis of small and medium-sized enterprises of EU countries, evaluation and comparison of innovation activity of Ukraine and EU countries. The methodical tools of the study included methods of statistical analysis. The study period was 2010-2018. The object of analysis is the process of development of innovation activity of small and medium-sized enterprises, as they are the majority of enterprises in Ukraine. The article presents the results of the analysis of the state of innovation the activity of small and medium-sized enterprises, which showed that our country needs significant transformation in this direction. Studies show that increasing the turnover and the production of small and medium-sized enterprises depends on the level of innovative development. The results of the study may be useful for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Institutional Mechanism

The study reveals the peculiarities of modern global production development due to global value chains (GVCs) formation that allow both developing and developed countries to integrate successfully into international production networks. This research is aimed at identifing key factors responsible for the upstream movement of Ukraine through GVCs and determining locations for production capacities, as well as at developing an institutional mechanism for facilitating the successful integration of domestic producers into GVSs. To achieve this, a multiple linear regression reflecting the interrelation between manufacturing industry share in exports value added and the institutional and economic indicators is analyzed. Three scientific hypotheses are tested and two of them are verified. The multiple linear regression results disclose a significant impact of institutional factors on the country’s ability to participate in GVCs and justify the first hypothesis, namely the higher the government effectiveness and regulatory quality are, the higher the manufacturing value added in exports is. Better governance and administrative functions performance enhance companies’ export potential. The model also verifies the second hypothesis that emphasizes better ability to join GVCs with low and medium technology product than with a high technology one. The model outputs contradict the third hypothesis on the protectionism: high tariffs for imports significantly matter in exports promotion. However, this result should be considered while accounting for the global trend of trade liberalization and Ukraine’s international agreements. The article proposes policy recommendations for improving the positions of Ukraine in GVCs.

Positive Effect

A substantial part of contemporary R&D policy in developed countries is focused on the support of R&D in the private sector. Such intervention is theoretically justified by a higher propensity to innovation and consequently to higher competitiveness, which promotes sustainable economic growth. Most of the empirical research done so far focuses mainly on the leverage effect, the effect on innovation activity or on estimating the crowding out effect of public support. Although the outcomes of this research are quite contradictory, only a few studies focus on the effect of public support of private R&D on the private bodies’ performance indicators, which are naturally connected with a company’s economic sustainability. In this article we use counterfactual design and show that the R&D policy of supporting the private sector leads to higher innovation activity, but it does not lead to higher value added and productivity for supported subjects, at least in the short run. Such a finding suggests a possible flaw in R&D policy implementation—it is questionable if higher innovation activity is truly effective if it is not followed by a positive effect on production (value added) and productivity, and if it does not have a positive effect on competitiveness or lead to sustainable economic growth.
