Resources Against Innovations. On the Limited Effect of the "Resource Multiplier" in Terms of the Innovation Development
The article considers the specificity of innovation process in the resource and non-resource sectors of the economy. We substantiate the thesis about a limitation of the “resource multiplier” using logical analysis and results of cognitive modeling. The conclusion is that the reliance on resources is unreliable in the evolutionary perspective in Russian conditions and therefore we should give priority to the development of the manufacturing sector as a foundation of economic growth and of implementation in innovation process.
