The paper deals with the widespread narratives describing the institutions specific to Russia’s innovation system. Narrative economics provides an interdisciplinary research perspective, due to its focus on qualitative data that were ignored by the conventional economics for a long time. We emphasize that narrative analysis is rooted in the methodological framework of original institutional economics. Literature review using the PRISMA method did not identified any examples of applying narrative analysis to institutional studied of Russia’s innovation system. The empirical data for this paper involve popular narratives contained in 43 rating media sources extracted from a Russian information analysis agency Integrum. The sources were selected using the real-time media monitoring and analysis system Medialogia. The study covered the period from January 1, 2010 to July 1, 2021. Content analysis of the core ideas extracted from scholarly publications and media sources allowed to identify common narratives on institutional arrangement of Russia’s innovation system, that impede commercialization of innovations. However, conflicting approaches are provided by the literature to deal with related problem situations. The viral spread of popular narratives that affect the actors of Russia’s innovation system is illustrated by one of the typical narratives about the Russian innovation system. The research implications can be useful for developing a strategy for state innovation policy. Improved methodology for assessing virality of narratives and their power, as well as the empirical testing of proposed hypotheses remain the subject for future research.
and feedback during training, ambiguously influences the costs of educational activities, and does not allow relying on the reliability of information and communication technologies. Transition to distant education can be interpreted as a new stage of evoluton of the institutional trap of electronization and digitalization.. Scientific novelty: consists in identifying the qualitative characteristics of the process of implementing total distance education while combating the spread of the new coronavirus infection in Russia. Practical significance: is determined by the need to understand the causes of inefficiency and aggravation of contradictions between different groups of actors in the field of education and science while combating the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

Данная статья посвящена изучению доверия в сфере образования и науки в контексте теории институциональных ловушек. Рассмотрены различные подходы к определению понятия доверия. В данной статье принимается подход к определению понятия доверия, основанный на работах А. В. Шмакова. Показано различие между оправданным и неоправданным доверием. Выявлена проблема определения оптимального уровня доверия. Рассмотрено разграничение между персонифицированным и неперсонифицированным доверием, восходящее к исследованиям Э. Гидденса. Выделены виды доверия к другим акторам на основе наиболее существенных факторов формирования доверия (на основе индивидуального опыта сотрудничества, репутации контрагента, групповой принадлежности контрагента). Показано, что в условиях оптимизации в сфере образования и науки возникает кризис доверия, который состоит не только в разрушении доверия между акторами, но также в изменении преобладающих видов доверия. Эмпирической основой исследования послужили данные, полученные в ходе анкетирования и глубинных интервью научно-педагогических работников Южного федерального университета. На основе собранных данных в статье показано, что институциональные ловушки, в особенности ловушка метрик, ловушка возрастающей
The article is devoted to study of institutional traps of optimization in education and science spheres. Our analysis also identifies the role of key actors or groups of interests in education sphere in reproduction of aforesaid institutional traps. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate identified institutional traps and groups of interests with help of narratives that were generated in the course of organized focus-groups with university stuff. This article is based on previous research where key institutional traps in education sphere were identified and described. This paper continues the analysis of following institutional traps: metrics trap, the trap of increasing bureaucracy, the trap of financing gap, the trap of electronisation and digitalisation, the trap of reducing the quality of education, the trap of human resources and justifies the efficiency of focus groups research method for detection groups of interests as real or potential actors of institutional changes. This method enables to find out the existing contradictions inside the groups and as a consequence to deepen the understanding of the nature of studied institutional traps and propose recommendations for overcoming the negative effects of it.
