Evaluation of innovative susceptibility of economic subjects in the economy of Kazakhstan
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to assess the innovative susceptibility of the national economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan through analysis and assessment of the potential and performance of the domestic innovation system.Research methods. Based on groups of capacity indicators (number of organizations performing R&D, number of employees engaged in R&D, internal R&D costs, issued security documents on industrial property, costs of product and process innovations) and performance (innovation activity, number of organizations that have created and use new technologies and facilities, number of such technologies and facilities, volume of innovative products sold) authors calculate specific indicators relative to the number of employed, the volume of GDP and the number of active legal entities. These figures are then converted into indices and compared in the dynamics for the period 2008-2018.Results of the research. The article justifies the concept of “innovative receptivity.” The main actors of the innovation process are revealed, their contribution to the generation of innovations and the implementation of innovative solutions is described. The authors developed a methodology for assessing innovative susceptibility through the use of specific indicators and an index method. The indicators of potential and efficiency of the innovation system of Kazakhstan have been calculated.Conclusions. The results show that the potential index has a clear tendency to deteriorate, and the performance index- to improve. The absence of interlinkages between indices shows that science and business are losing connections within the national innovation system, the basis of innovative development of Kazakhstan is now technology transfer, but not own innovative solutions.
