Formation of Innovation Systems as Environment of Open Innovations

Abstract

The article examines the essence and provides its own definition of the concept of open innovation. The need to implement and spread the open innovations in order to form modern innovative systems is substantiated. It is proved that socio-economic development causes the transformation of innovative processes on the basis of openness and spread of cooperation with external partners, scientific institutions, suppliers and consumers. The factors influencing the spread of open innovations are defined. The main subjects of the environment of open innovations that contribute to the formation of modern innovative systems are considered. An integrated assessment of the status of development of the innovative system of Ukraine using indicators of the Global Innovation Index is carried out. The dynamics of innovation processes both in Ukraine and in the EU countries is analyzed. The authors have identified a decrease in the number of employees involved in the implementation of scientific researches and developments, which have a scientific degree, and a decrease in the number of organizations that carried out research and development against the backdrop of simultaneous reduction in the number of innovatively active industrial enterprises. It is determined that the dominance of the closed model of innovation in Ukraine causes a slowdown in the development of innovative processes and further technological and economic lag from highly developed countries. The consequences of the development of the open innovation environment are outlined. A gradual transition to new open innovative systems and search for promising innovative interactions in the external environment have been identified. The main measures of intensifying the environment of open innovations in the national economy are proposed.
