Models of Regional Development in Russia: Level of Industrialisation and Innovative Performance

Abstract

The growth in the share of industry in the structure of Gross Domestic Product due to an increase in its competitiveness, causes a multiplier effect of accelerating economic growth, reducing unemployment and developing social and transport infrastructure. All these imperatives actualise the task of deepening the analysis of the level of industrialisation and innovative performance of the national economy and its regions. To achieve this goal, a theoretical analysis of the relationship between industrial growth and innovation activity was carried out, and the problems of industrial growth of the Russian economy were identified. The proposed toolkit is based on assessing the level of industrialization and innovative performance of the region. Based on their comparison, four models of industrial and innovative development are distinguished: model of non-industrial development, model of post-industrial development, model of neo-industrial development, and model of industrial development. According to the results of the study, the structure of Russian regions by the type of industrial-innovative development model is relatively stable and insufficiently progressive. Only a third of the regions have high innovative performance. The lack of the required balance between the development of industrial potential and the innovative productivity of Russian regions is associated with the low efficiency of the applied industrial policy measures. The research results can be useful for assessing the quality of industrial growth of regions in countries with transitional economies.

The Moderating Role of Organizational Support on the Relationship Between Green Supply Chain Practices, Governance and Sustainable Economic Performance: Evidence From China

“…These more modern laws and rules, however, tend to be optional or focus primarily on providing funding for pilot programs. Chinese government officials are unsure of whether these regulatory actions have encouraged manufacturers to adopt environmental management techniques or whether they have achieved the ESPR objectives (Doroshenko et al, 2021;Li et al, 2020). Typically, these national environmental policies and objectives are met by a diverse organizational reaction.…”

Technological modernisation prospects forecast of the main industries in Russia based on the assessment of the innovative development level

“…All other spheres of activity, both economic and, in particular, social, developed according to the leftover principle and gradually reached an extreme stage of the technological underdevelopment and neglect [3]. In 2008 -2010, the country's leadership opted for the optimal model of gradual modernization to strengthen its position in terms of growth of the wealth and economic development [4]. In 2021, the national and regional development strategies with a duration of 2030 are being developed, which could be a decisive step towards leadership positions at least in a few sectors.…”
