Methodology for evaluating innovative activities of high-technological industrial clusters
A system of indicators for assessing the innovation activity of industrial clusters is proposed. The set of indicators includes indicators of technological changes, the level of concentration of hightech products and enterprises, as well as indicators of high technology, cooperation and innovation efficiency. A lag of the delayed impact of technological innovations on the volume of innovative goods was revealed, which amounted to two years for the manufacturing industries of the Russian Federation. To calculate the index of innovative technologies, a geometric mean form is proposed that provides for zeroing the result if the organization produces innovative products, but does not carry out technological innovations or the organization carries out technological innovations, but does not produce innovative products. As a degree of cooperation, it is recommended to use not only the share of shipped goods of own production used by other members of the industrial cluster in the total volume of goods shipped, but also the total cost coefficients for assessing direct and indirect links in the cluster. Calculations are made and the values of the proposed indicators of innovative activity in manufacturing industries or in the Russian economy as a whole are presented. The proposed system of indicators meets both the objectives of the state program «Development of industry and increase its competitiveness» and reflects the innovative activity of enterprises and organizations.
