INNOVATION ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE: PROBLEMS,
ACHIEVEMENTS AND FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
Introduction. Innovative development is of paramount importance in the
country's economic growth, improving the economic performance of enterprises,
establishing business linkages between science and education and production
processes, as well as changing the structure of export and import of the country. That
is why the analysis of the dynamics of the indicators of the innovation activity has paid
considerable attention from scientists and specialists.
The need for radical transformations in the field of production will necessarily
affect the scope of innovation. Thus, if we create a new groundwork for the
development of the production and financial sector, then one of the varieties of
development is the most innovative transformation. Innovative activities can
significantly change not only the technological base of production and assortment of
products of domestic enterprises, but also will allow enterprises to reach the
international level, not to mention the field of science, for which the regional
boundaries do not matter. It is the innovative activity of enterprises that gives pulse to
the development of investment attractiveness of separate enterprises and entire
industries.
The importance of innovation is recognized by many legal and political
documents in Ukraine, including at the highest level. However, the all-embracing
consideration of the national innovation system of Ukraine, its various components and
relations between them, is left out of the attention of government officials. In society
and government institutions, narrow interpretation of innovations is prevalent,
emphasizing only technological aspects. Innovation activity of small and medium
enterprises as an important factor in economic dynamism remains out of attention.
There is not enough consideration of interconnections between subsystems, including
between science and business [1]
