A SYSTEM DYNAMICS QUALITATIVE MODEL OF THE REGIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEM

Abstract

There is an attempt to create a system description of the regional innovation system dynamical structure. Author’s points about the system description based on system dynamics theory – that is a new way of use of the mentioned theory and a regional innovation system conception. Using analysis and synthesis of regional R&D and innovational processes, author shows a visualization and description of the regional innovation system logical model. Description and understanding of the key processes of the logical model makes possible to use system dynamics conceptual categories and points out the main stocks and flows. As a result, pointed out processes have been systematized as evolution steps of the regional innovation system development.
