Contradictions of Enterprise Europe Network development in Ukraine

Abstract

Innovative development is the priority of the Ukraine’s ecomonic policy. In order to achieve the stated goal, it is necessary to ensure the transfer of innovative technologies to commercial production. The transmission of research and development (R&D) results to potential customers should be achieved through market mechanisms that cannot work effectively without, first of all, market research and contacts with interested counterparties.The study aims to clarify the possibility of using the IT platform of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) as a tool for searching and establishing the contacts between domestic and foreign counteragents. The object of research was the EEN’s IT platform and its mechanism for the innovative solutions implementation. The features of the EEN functioning in Ukraine were investigated. Using the EEN`s tools, the marketing research of current trends in the economic sectors development in the context of cooperation processes was conducted. The possible advantages and disadvantages of the technology transfer in the Enterprise Europe Network were analyzed. The strategy for EEN’s implementation in Ukrainian conditions was formulated. The methods of economic (SWOT and force field) analysis, the comparison method, and the economic-statistical method of analysis of actual data were used. The results of study allowed formulating the strategy and the recommendations for EEN’s development in Ukraine.

“…Stepanova et al (2019) briefly focused on the contradictions of the use of the European network of enterprises in Ukraine, as well as offered strategic solutions for the successful use of EEN tools by the Ukrainian enterprises and organizations. Transnational organizations that have acted as international technology transfer centers have played and continue to play the role of "technology mentors" in the development of high-tech industries in Korea and other Asian countries…”

Change of EU28 countries research and development indicators between 2010 and 2015

“…Research and development (R&D) and innovation are a central area of individual national and international policies and innovative strategy (Ivanová & Čepel, 2018;Hei Cheung et al, 2019;Říhová et al, 2019). First and foremost, this concerns the connection of R&D policies with education, innovation, employment, information and business policy (Moed et al, 2005;Hackett et al, 2008;Backer, 2015;Bilan et al, 2019;Stepanova et al, 2019;Dvorský et al, 2019).…”
