Features of International Transfer of Technologies in the Modern Realities of Management Systems Development

Abstract

The article is devoted to the definition and analysis of the features of international technology transfer. The aggravation of the economic situation in Ukraine, first as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and later as a result of a full-scale invasion, significantly affected all socio-economic processes both within our country and on a global scale. The result of such modern challenges was a slowdown in global economic growth. In order to activate the innovative environment in Ukraine, it is necessary to solve the issue of ensuring the exit of domestic progressive technologies, including those produced by small and medium-sized enterprises, to world markets. Therefore, international transfer is the priority direction of Ukrainian innovation policy. Since the goal of technology transfer is precisely the economic growth and improvement of the population’s well-being, its development acquires urgent significance in terms of solving the problems outlined above. The article examines the essence and features of international technology transfer. The positive features of technology transfer are identified. The stages of technology transfer are characterized. In the conditions of recovery and development of the Ukrainian economy, the construction of an effective technology transfer mechanism will be based on the construction of an effective mechanism of interaction between the state and business structures, the development of technology transfer centers, and the expansion of state policy in the field of technology transfer. It has been determined that increasing the efficiency of the technology transfer mechanism will contribute to increasing the level of development of information and communication technologies through the creation of specialized scientific and technological platforms. Forms of technology transfer are outlined. Sources of technology transfer commercialization are considered. The main methods of commercialization of technology transfer are defined.

Current State of Technology Transfer in Ukraine and the World in the Face of Modern Challenges

“…The essence of technology transfer and the principles of its organization are described in numerous works by both foreign authors, such as G. Allard, J. Butler and D. Gibson, M. Porter, D. Somay, G. Markman, etc, as well as domestic researchers, such as O. Rozgon, I. Khomenko, O. Mnykh, L. Khomutenko and A. Hryhorovych, O. Kosenko, O. Plakhotnik, and I. Isupova, etc. The term "technology transfer" in the general sense means the process of successful application or adaptation of technologies, acquisition of unique knowledge, as well as obtaining original results in any field of human activity, supplemented by their further material (or other) implementation and commercialization in other industries [3].…”

“…The history of technology transfer goes back more than 100 years and consists of 2 key stages. The first stage is 1911-1960 and the second stage is from the 70s of the twentieth century to the present [3].…”

“…In other words, research and scientific discoveries are independent of the external environment and time, and the market plays a passive role -it only commercializes the results of scientific developments. This model has a number of disadvantages: it does not take into account the market's influence on possible events related to the invention of new technologies, cannot reflect the complexity of the relationship between production and research, and does not take into account the needs and desires of consumers [2,3].…”

“…The second stage of technology transfer development was marked by the emergence of non-linear (interactive) models (Kline-Rosenberg model, Woolworth, and Clark model, Cooper model) [2,3,5]. The main features of these models are that innovations do not precede the market, but rather that market demands predict the emergence of new products, and that there are close links between the development of science and technology and the needs dictated by the market.…”

Analysis of the Impact of Digital Communication Tools on Organizational Culture and Communication Effectiveness within Enterprises

“…This will be the basis for the direct formation of the strategy and its further implementation. Performance analytics and ongoing control with appropriate operational adjustments are mandatory components of the concept of effective digital optimization of internal communication processes within a company (Kudrina, 2022;Mandych et al, 2022).…”
