| Аннотация | The purpose of the study is to improve theoretical and methodological techniques for
assessing innovation potential and determine the main areas of scientific and technological development of Northern Russian regions. The theoretical part of the article reveals the essence of
innovative potential and provides the author’s classification of approaches to its measurement. It demonstrates that the majority of modern domestic and foreign studies are aimed at assessing the
territory’s innovative potential through the calculation of the integrated index; however, this leads
to the merging of diverse characteristics into a unified scale. The paper describes the features and
limitations of factor analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis of the phenomenon under study,
monitoring of specific profile and inward similarities of the analyzed objects. Factor analysis has
revealed five most important characteristics which determine innovative development of Northern
Russian regions: level of scientific development of the regions, level of inventive activity, human
capacity, level of financing of innovation, ICT development. By means of the hierarchical cluster
analysis method, four types of Northern Russian regions have been distinguished by type of their
innovative potential: single leader; regions with high potential for creating innovation; regions with
increased susceptibility to innovation; “defense areas”. The authors indicate the options of the
state and corporate innovation policies in the identified groups; they emphasize the expediency of
transition from importing ready technologies to international cooperation in their development in a
unique natural environment of the Russian North, as well as the value of “eco-friendly” innovations
compared to “resource-consuming”. The results of the research may be useful in inter-regional
comparisons and searching for new approaches to territorial development. Thus they may be
applicable to the development of strategic program documents on innovative development of Federal
districts, regions under study, individual industries and enterprises. Methodological techniques of the present research should provide the basis for future research of innovative potential of both Northern territories and all Russian regions. |
