Importance This article focuses on developing tools to measure an impact of social innovation, taking into account commercial and social benefits of introducing social innovation. Objectives We aim to develop our own matrix for the evaluation of the impact of social innovation. Methods We use methods of systematization, logical analysis, regression analysis, etc. Results The article shows possible areas of institutional development that ensure the effective performance of social and innovation activities, including the development of both efficient formal institutions and social capital. Conclusions and RelevanceThe theoretical analysis, as well as the results of the application of the developed assessment matrix of social innovation at the regional level, have made it possible to identify the characteristics of social innovation. The matrix makes it possible to identify the characteristics of social innovation functioning in a given territory and also becomes an initial stage for the institutional development directions.

Delayed payments of wages, defaults, hostile takeovers of privatized companies and similar actions caused a lot of problems in economic system of Russia. Notwithstanding the every effort taken by the government, the new model of economic management was inefficient until a cluster of complementary institutions was formed. Analysis of transformation processes in the Russian economy shows that the evolution of economic institutions has since the early 90s been a complicated, often inconsistent process, mainly directed towards internalization of informal institutions, import of institutions and restoration of institutions.The paper examines the evolution of economic institutions in Russia since the beginning of market reforms. The authors reveled the close relationship and direct correlation between the effectiveness of Russian economic reforms and forming the new economic institutions.

“…However, several constraints prevent them from actually meeting the quality requirements (Poulton et al, 2010). In addition to a lack of productive assets, low degree of education and poor infrastructure, smallholder farmers face important institutional constraints that prevent them from producing for and transacting in high quality food chains (Dorward et al, 2005;World Bank, 2007).…”

Quality and Innovation in Food Chains

Although markets for high quality products might represent an interesting outlet for smallholder farmers from developing countries, access to those markets is challenging, as appropriate institutions helping farmers to comply with quality requirements are often missing. To overcome the institutional constraints and to link smallholders to markets, three types of institutional arrangements are often proposed: contract farming, producer organisations and partnerships. While many publications have explored the merits of each of these arrangements, a systematic comparison and evaluation of all three has not been done, particularly from the perspective of the constraints that smallholders face when seeking to improve product quality. In this chapter, we seek to make such evaluatory comparison. To do so, we first identify the most limiting institutional constraints faced by smallholder farmers related to quality improvement. Second, we provide an overview of each arrangement's ability to address these constraints. Third, we determine how combinations of the three arrangements can be used effectively in quality improvement in smallholder value chains.
