The Hierarchy of Guiding Documents of the State Policy on the Provision of Scientific and Scientific-Technological Activity in Ukraine
Abstract
The article is aimed at studying approaches to the hierarchy of guiding documents of the State policy in Ukraine, as well as researching the provision of strategic documents for the management of scientific and scientific-technological (SST) development in the country. The used research methods are: logical analysis, systematization, generalization. It is defined that at the official level there is currently no established hierarchy of guiding documents of the State policy; none of the regulatory acts in Ukraine relating to strategic planning at the State level consider the possibility of developing such strategic documents as doctrines and conceptions. The analysis of the hierarchy of the current guiding documents of the State policy on the provision of scientific and scientific-technological development of some world countries showed the existence of one of two conceptual and doctrinal regulations (doctrine or conception), which at the abstract and conceptual level determine general approaches to strategic regulation of NNT activity. The carried out analysis allowed to more accurately define the essence, content and overall structure of the documents of long-term State planning, namely: «conceptions» and «strategies». Consideration of the main strategic documents regulating scientific and scientific-technological activity in Ukraine showed that the conception of NNT development was adopted more than 20 years ago (in 1999), and the main program documents, which were aimed at forecasting scientific and scientific-technological development, had lost validity before 2012. There is no present strategy of NNT activity. The system of strategic planning and regulation of NNT activity requires significant improvement, updating of the conception and elaborating a development strategy of NNT activity. The authors substantiate the necessity of elaborating strategic documents on regulation of NNT activities for the more effective operation of the country’s innovation system, which is required by the general state of the national economy and the need to find the most efficient methods of using the knowledge generation subsystem.
