Determinants and Imperatives of the Innovation Infrastructure Development in the Context of Globalization
Abstract
The article systematizes approaches to classifying factors (determinants) of the innovation infrastructure development. It is determined that the classification of the innovation infrastructure determinants based on the synthesis of position and specificity criteria has the greatest theoretical and practical value. Using the proposed approach to classifying factors of innovation infrastructure, there determined universal external factors, universal internal factors, specific external factors, specific internal factors of the innovation infrastructure development. The most important universal external factors that have a multi-vector, systemic influence on the development of a country’s innovation infrastructure at the current stage of the development of the world economy and international economic relations are: 1) the transition from an industrial to a postindustrial society and, as a result, the active development of information and communication technologies; 2) globalization, accompanied by an increase in global interaction, changes in the nature of the interdependence of countries (neo-dependence), etc. The most important for the innovation infrastructure development external factors are the condition, features and potential of the development of the national innovation system, the effectiveness of the state innovation policy and financial support. The most important for the innovation infrastructure development universal internal factors are the condition and features of its architecture. The most important for the innovation infrastructure development internal factors are the condition and specific features in the formation of individual elements of the innovation infrastructure. Based on the analysis of the determinants and specifics of the context of the innovation infrastructure development, the imperatives of its formation in the context of globalization are determined.
