Implementation of Innovative Projects in the Customs and Logistics Sphere As a Factor for Russia’s Integration into Global Value Chains

Abstract

Under the current conditions of globalization of economic development, the presence of a state in the global economic landscape is manifested in the following main forms: international trade; embedding a national economy into the global value chains; participation in integration economic associations; and the formation of a unified (coordinated) policy in branches and fields of activity of the integration association. The present study is aimed at assessing situations of Russia’s participation in global value chains, and at reviewing the implementation of innovation projects in the spheres of customs and logistics. The latter is a key factor for integrating the country into global chains. The main directions are formulated of state support and promotion of enterprises in value chains they create (improvement of infrastructure, improvement of customs policy, development and implementation of innovation projects in the field of customs and logistics). The main problems are identified for Russia’s customs and logistics, including the imperfection of IT-technologies created for customs authorities and logistics companies. A model is proposed of an automatic software complex for the risk management system, which makes it possible to simulate the ways of solving these problems through the usage of Internet data.
