The development of innovation at a regional level in a transition economy is characterised by complex multidirectional processes of generating and commercialising innovation, indicating the need for systematic research and rethinking of the existing methods of managing such territorial entities to stimulate innovation. For the successful introduction and implementation of innovative solutions, the deployment of appropriate amounts of intellectual, material and financial resources as well as their concentration in space and time is important. This article aims to develop a model for assessing the effectiveness of regional innovation systems (RISs) during the shift from the transition economy to the market economy. The authors developed a two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model connected with patent activities and the output of innovative goods and services. The model’s application made it possible to build maps describing the rating of regions concerning the performance indicator and to identify the availability of unutilised resources. For example, we identified efficient and inefficient regions in terms of producing innovative products, which is especially important for developing additional measures for developing the institutional environment of regions with considerable resources but very low utilisation efficiency. The data obtained will allow for more effective management of the structural elements of RISs as well as the detection of changes in the dynamics of key development indicators by identifying the size of efficiency reserves and the causes of their occurrence at the individual subject level.
Today, humanity is on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution. This can result in a radical transformation of all aspects of society. Information technology is the core of the fourth industrial revolution. The application variety of modern information technologies determines the infinite vectors of their use, which ultimately become the overwhelming number of instruments for life simplifing. Professional activity sphere is also being transformed under the influence of information technology development. However, this transformation process is extremely ambiguous. In connection with this specificity, the purpose of this study is a systematic analysis of the influence of the information technology development dynamics on the transformation of the labor market. The hypothesis assumes that there is a relationship between technology development and changes in the labour market. This research examine digitalization impact on unemployment level and the process of gradual extinction of certain professions. As the results authors defined mathematical formalization of the alleged links and formulate the main vectors of labour market transformation under the digital technologies development.
This study provides a framework for the comparative assessment of the key industry aspects of competitiveness among logistics services and the logistics systems of enterprises in the informational environment. Frequently, the relationships between a consumer and a company created by means of the informational environment determine how the enterprise positions itself in the market. For instance, the evaluation of a company’s representation in the information field is an essential aspect of determining the company’s competitiveness. The study suggests a set of special metrics for measuring the representation of digital components and other aspects of an enterprise’s digital image via data gathering and analysis of the most encountered tokens. The proposed automated analysis algorithm allows companies to examine their image in the digital environment and implement effective decisions. The functionality of the algorithm fosters data collection, helping to form the desired image of the company. Tokens of several thematic groups on social media are collected during the process, and the most significant of them that are valuable for the competitiveness of the enterprise are extracted. The outcome can be used for the tracking of the dynamics of key parameters of an enterprise’s image and for conducting a comparative analysis of the digital image of its competitors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
