DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGY FOR SYSTEMIC MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE ECONOMY

Abstract

The growing globalization, increased competition in international and domestic markets, and intensified integration of economic relations actualize the need for a transition to building an innovative economy based on the formation and use of human potential. This is natural, because only human capital has a system of creative competencies and the ability to create a unique toolkit for the creation of competitive advantages of the national economy. For more than twenty years, the need for the transition to an innovative economy has been declared at all hierarchical levels of state authorities and administration. But, nevertheless, we have to admit that the state policy of innovative development carried out all these years did not allow ensuring a certain tangible qualitative growth of innovative activity in most regions and bringing high-tech innovative products with a high level of added value to the relevant markets. Among the main reasons that prevent the definition and initiation of the human capital positions in the creation of an innovative economy, experts call the extremely low level of susceptibility of the bulk of employees to innovations and the underdevelopment of the innovative potential of human capital. we must also add to this the insufficient publication activity of domestic researchers: so, the share of publications by Russian scientists in the leading world databases Web of Science, Scopus, etc. is less than 2%, when in the USA, for comparison, their number is more than 27%, in China - 14%, etc. (Indicators of Science-2015) The result of this situation is that the methods and tools used for diagnosing human capital do not contain mechanisms and approaches to disclose the professional intellectual and creative abilities of employees regarding the development of priority areas for their construction and development. It is clear that in such conditions there can be no question of ensuring the accuracy of forecasting and strategic planning for the development of human capital, which is a necessary condition for creating an innovative economy. Of course, all of the above actualizes the need to develop a methodology for human capital management in order to ensure innovative economic development.
