The Scientific Foundations of the Methodology for Researching the Economic Phenomena and Processes of Innovative Management

Abstract

The article examines the essence of methodology as science, the peculiarities of the use of scientific methods and techniques in studying the economic phenomena and processes of innovative management. It is noted that the study of the economic processes and phenomena in innovative management should be carried out as follows: substantiate the relevance of the problem of research; explore the methodology of carrying out the study; choose the right methodical instrumentarium; identify regularities of development of a phenomenon; accomplish the tasks set; achieve the goals of the study. The use of dialectical and systemic approaches is specified, and levels of scientific cognition are defined. It is proposed to allocate a separate group of scientific methods - multi-level cognition of economic processes in innovative management. An analysis has showed that one or two methods for carrying out a comprehensive economic study in the innovative management of a phenomenon is not sufficient, as the problem has a multivariate aspect of the solution. Therefore, when considering the economic phenomena and processes in innovative management, it is appropriate to apply a systematic approach to identifying and analyzing existing regularities and probable processes that have both the quantitative and the qualitative expression.
