ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RUSSIAN HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES DEVELOPMENT COMPARED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES
The investigation of the effectiveness of Russian high-tech industries development compared to foreign countries was made. The methodology of assessing the effectiveness of high-tech industries development was worked out. Methodology testing was conducted based on the statistics of Russia and three leading foreign countries: USA, Germany and France. Russian high-tech industries lag behind foreign countries and play a minor role in the production. They do not provide the basic result - generating export revenues and they are not willing to fight for a foreign market. At present the main problem of Russia - return the internal market of high-tech products. The revealed features and patterns of Russian and foreign countries high-tech industries development must be considered in the process of designing and implementing policies and programs of Russian innovative development.
