DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE IN RUSSIA ON THE EXAMPLEOF NANOINDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Aim. The paper identifies the factors for the development of innovative industries in Russia on the example of nanoindustry, as well as demonstrates the main world and Russian patterns of the process of innovation diffusion. Methodology. The research is based on consideration of the accumulated theoretical material on the problems of innovation diffusion, its generalization and application to the geography of the Russian nanoindustry. A number of indicators related to the diffusion of knowledge are analyzed, as well as their manifestation within Russia. Results. The primary factors of innovation diffusion considered on the example of the nanoindustry in Russia correspond to global trends and do not contradict them. In the future, the center-peripheral model of the domestic nanoindustry under the influence of space friction forms several cores, which are strengthened over time and will be strengthened in the short and medium term. The technology is not spread along the periphery due to the gravitational effect of agglomerations. Research implications. The research reflects the specifics of the development of nanoindustry, which can be used in strategic planning of the industry.
