The model of competitiveness management of a region in view of innovation risks
This article is devoted to the analysis of content, systematization and consideration of possible innovation risks arising in the management of a region’s competitiveness. Two groups of reasons - internal and external, which contribute to the emergence of innovation risks, were identified. It is shown that the former are connected with the contradictory nature of innovations themselves, which simultaneously contains both positive and negative potential, and the inability to predict in advance which of the two corresponding potential possibilities - creative or destructive - is put into practice. The latter group includes some external factors and specific economic conditions in a region, for example, shortcomings in the organization and functioning of the regional innovation system. The conducted study of risks allowed to create a model of regional competitiveness management on an innovative basis, taking into account the possibility of risks at each stage of raising competitiveness.
