Global Traps for the Russian Innovation System

Abstract

The features of the transformation of national innovation systems into an instrument of the dominance of conservative leaders of technologically developed markets are described. The difference in institutional conditions in the activities of companies in global innovation markets leads to the emergence of institutional rents. It is shown that in the framework of the formation of a global innovation system, on the one hand, the institutional strength of transnational corporations as market leaders is increasing, on the other, new global transformation processes are underway. They are based on flexible network structures and the dominance of intermediaries with the transition to a system of intermediary monopoly. Such transformations pose new threats to global crises and open up “windows of opportunity” for the Russian innovation system, which is in an institutional trap in which, due to the dominance of foreign companies in most technologically advanced markets, domestic business is forced to give them high institutional rents and is deprived of it this significant part of the resources for its development.
