DISINCENTIVE FACTORS AND PRECONDITIONS FOR INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL ECONOMIES: INTERNATIONAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article deals with rather controversial influence of stimulating and disincentive factors on the innovation processes in national economies taking into account the achieved stages of innovation development, which are defined as innovation stagnation, activation of the innovation process and permanent innovation regime. The authors propose to separate approaches to understanding the essence of innovation development for developing economies and technologically developed countries, depending on what to consider the direction of action of innovation factors. While the countries belonging to the group of innovation leaders are undergoing a technological revolution, developing countries are solving the problems of forming national innovation system based on the mechanisms of interaction within the triple helix and ensuring the overcoming of innovation stagnation. The authors pay special attention to consideration of various innovation hindering factors, which are grouped into innovation challenges, threats and barriers, the effect being determined by the time horizon of action. This approach facilitates the search of effective measures of state regulation in the innovation sphere. Based on the results, the authors have proved the necessity of a closer international cooperation using various forms of networking interaction aimed at elimination of global technological inequality.
