Analysis of approaches and methods of managing implementation of innovative engineering technology projects in an oil producing company
Abstract
The paper presents an original solution to an urgent scientific issue — the development of an innovative approach to managing the selection and implementation of innovative engineering technology projects (IETP) in the oil-producing sector, aimed at justifying the rationality of investment initiatives and increasing the likelihood of their positive outcome. A unique interpretation of the concept of “oil innovative project of engineering technologies” was introduced, taking into account the key role of engineering technologies in modernizing the activities of oil producing companies to overcome current challenges of the industry. The pros and cons of traditional Stage-Gate and TRL methodologies in IETP implementation are analyzed. A two-stage IETP assessment system was proposed, including primary and deep expertise on key parameters of organizational, production, market, and technological maturity of the project. Integrated assessment of IETP is based on the calculation of an integral indicator of project readiness.



Concept and characteristics of a high-tech enterprise
Abstract
The article presents an assessment of the evolution of the concept of “high-tech enterprise” depending on the legislation and standards in force in the Russian economy and in the international arena. Changes in the criteria for classifying enterprises as “high-tech” have been identified, due to the development of science and technology, and the economic conditions of economic activity. The content is disclosed, the characteristics of a high-tech enterprise are systematized. It is shown that high-tech enterprises are complex and dynamically developing systems that combine scientific potential, flexibility, integration of modern technologies and the pursuit of sustainable development, including at the global level. Thus, a high-tech enterprise has the characteristics of an innovative and knowledge-intensive enterprise. At the same time, it is determined that each category has its own specific features and criteria by which they are determined.
Numerical values of the criteria are given, and data on high-tech enterprises in a number of countries are compared. It is noted that in conditions of dynamic economic change, rapid technological progress and increased global competition, the tools for evaluating and supporting high-tech enterprises are in constant development and updating, which is a natural process.



On the theory of innovation diffusion that takes into account variations in imitation coefficients and the nonlinear nature of saturation of the total market volume
Abstract
The published article proposes a generalization of mathematical models of consumer innovation diffusion for the case of variable imitation coefficients and nonlinear variants of total market saturation. A differential equation of consumer innovation diffusion is constructed, taking into account variations in the imitation coefficient and nonlinearity of the total market saturation process. Possible scenarios for the development of the innovation diffusion process are considered, corresponding to various combinations of variants of changes in variable imitation coefficients with variants of nonlinear methods of total market saturation. Numerical analysis of the developed model showed good agreement with known statistical data on the growth in the number of users of the global Internet in Russia.



Factors of human capital development in the Orenburg region
Abstract
The development of the economy based on the introduction of innovations actualizes the study of regional development factors. Human capital plays a key role in innovative development. In this regard, there is a need to analyze the conditions for the development of human capital in a particular region.
The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of human capital development in the Orenburg region based on various factors, including economic, social, environmental and the factor of digitalization of the economy.
A comparison of the indicators of various factors in the Orenburg Region with those in the Russian Federation (RF) and the Volga Federal District (PFD) showed that many indicators of the state of human capital in the Orenburg region are significantly lower than the national and regional averages. Improving these indicators across the region will eliminate these differences and improve the quality of human capital in the region.
The human capital of the Orenburg region, the Russian Federation and the Volga Federal District is used as an object of research, the subject of the study is the economic relations that determine its development.
The research uses methods of systematization, generalization, analysis, synthesis, comparison, tabular. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that, for the first time, proposals for the development of Orenburg region’s human capital are presented, taking into account the average indicators for Russia and the Volga Federal District.
The practical significance of the research results is due to the possibility of their use by regional and municipal authorities in developing a strategy for socio-economic development and making managerial decisions.
The results of the study can be used to analyze the factors of human capital development in the municipalities of the region.



New horizons of efficiency and sustainability of the closed loop economy
Abstract
This article is devoted to the consideration of current issues of efficiency and sustainability of the closed-loop economy.
The paper considers the classical linear model of resource use: production – consumption– disposal, in which synthetic multicomponent substances that are not subject to natural decay for many decades predominate.
An innovative approach is analyzed, contrasting the traditional linear model, the main goal of which is to prolong the life cycle of goods and materials. The paper reveals the key aspects that must be observed to form a stable and sustainable economic model based on a closed cycle of resources.
It is shown that in the transition from a linear to a cyclical production model, it is necessary not only to use, but also to restore natural capital, which implies the integration of waste into natural cycles with minimal negative impact on surrounding ecosystems.
The paper analyzes the main criteria and significant problems of the efficiency of a modern closed-loop economy, and presents the market share of cyclical business models by sector. The peculiarity of the Russian closed-loop model is revealed, which consists in prioritizing economic interests over environmental aspects. Russia’s strategic goals and measures are presented, including the creation of a specialized infrastructure for the collection, sorting, transportation and recycling of waste.
The paper presents a forecast for the extraction of material resources taking into account current trends.
Based on the results of the study, conclusions and recommendations are made.

Economic security at the national and regional levels: a system of indicators and their assessment
Abstract
The article analyzes various views and approaches to the formation of the concept of economic security of the territory and highlights the main provisions. The priority of national ideas and strategies, formed as a response to external and internal threats, put forward the requirements for the regional development strategy of maximum and effective participation of regions in achieving both their own economic security and national security. The economic security of the region should be considered as a system consisting of management facilities, each of which is characterized by a set of evaluation indicators indicating a certain level of security. This approach requires differentiation of the indicators approved in the strategy of economic security of Russia for the period up to 2030. The article presents an assessment of economic security at the nano-, micro-, meso- and mega levels using the index method and the comparison method. The interpretation of the calculated aggregated indicators of economic security of the Russian economy was carried out taking into account the level of inflation.



Strategic import substitution in Russian economy sectors as a tool for forming national competitive advantages
Abstract
In the context of global challenges and sanctions pressure, there is a need to rethink Russia’s economic strategy, identify and develop new sources of economic growth in the context of the changed global situation, as well as ensure the transition from passive to active, strategic import substitution to ensure sustainable development of the country.
Strategic import substitution is becoming a key tool for forming national competitive advantages and ensuring sustainable development of the country.
The article analyzes strategic import substitution as a tool for forming national competitive advantages, identifies key success factors and proposes measures to stimulate the development of domestic producers in conditions of limited access to external resources.
The purpose of the study is to develop recommendations for stimulating strategic import substitution in economic sectors and creating a favourable environment for the development of domestic producers. In the process of achieving this goal, the methods of comprehensive analysis of the current state and key problems of import substitution, synthesis, description and generalization were used.
Based on the results of the study, a conclusion is made on promising areas for further implementation of import substitution processes. The study is based on modern works of leading domestic and foreign economists.



Resource support for the production and economic activities of industrial enterprises in the context of economic modernization
Abstract
Under the influence of international sanctions, access to foreign technologies and equipment has significantly narrowed, forcing some Russian industries to accelerate modernization. However, the current level of government support is not so high today: banks are cautious about lending for long-term projects in the real sector, and high interest rates hinder the implementation of initiatives in medium and low-profit segments of industry.
The state’s policy focuses on financing educational institutions (including federal universities and research centers) as well as creating regional engineering complexes and special economic zones. Despite these measures, the modernization process is still slow. It becomes increasingly clear that overcoming the challenges of innovative development with only the efforts of individual players or even entire sectors of the economy is impossible. To move forward successfully, strong mechanisms for cooperation among all stakeholders — from government to business and science — are necessary. An example of such a model can be found in technological platforms, which have already proven their effectiveness in advanced industrial nations. Coordinating the actions of key elements of development (government agencies, scientific community, and industry) within national strategies is a top priority for Russia’s economy on its path toward sustainable innovation-driven growth.
According to Rosstat data, the share of high-tech exports in total exports amounts to only about 10%, indicating the need for a serious reassessment of approaches to innovation development. Additional challenges include insufficient levels of digitalization in production processes and a shortage of skilled personnel in high-tech fields. Overcoming these difficulties will require significant investments in training specialists and developing digital solutions, which should become an integral part of state policy in the coming years.
The multifaceted nature of modernization and unresolved financial issues demand comprehensive analysis and the search for new approaches to managing the processes of industrial innovation development, aligning perfectly with the goals of this study.



Dynamics of development of optimal maximum capacity by enterprises
Abstract
The article examines the dynamics of enterprises mastering their optimal maximum capacity. A variant of a one-factor model of an enterprise is considered, the dynamics of resource growth, revenue, costs and profit of which is described by a differential equation. In addition, a variant of a two-factor model of an enterprise is proposed, the dynamics of resource growth, revenue, costs and profit of which is described by a system of differential equations. It is shown that in both cases the optimal values of the maximum capacities of enterprises correspond to the values of maximum profits. Deviation from these values leads to a decrease in the effective operation of enterprises and, ultimately, to lost profits.

Formation of a model of digital transformation of innovative ecosystems in the industrial sector of the region
Abstract
At the present stage, the transformation processes of the economy, taking into account the development of modern digital technologies, determine the further directions of modern science in interaction with the real industrial sector. In the context of the formation of a favorable digital environment for the development of innovations, a management mechanism is required that ensures the growth of economic efficiency, the implementation of innovation security and increased technological sovereignty in the long term, based on digital platforms.
The paper examines digital platforms built on the coordination of digitalized information data, business processes and industrial infrastructure, representing the functionality of tasks, processes and strategies of digital transformation of industrial enterprises.
The study presents the idea of localizing interconnected activities based on the zones of concentration of scientific schools and the level of innovative achievements of individual territories and regions. The work notes that in modern geopolitical conditions, in the context of economic sanctions and a ban on the use of Russian innovative technologies, the transition to local economic processes seems to be one of the main approaches to national security, innovative development and strengthening the technological sovereignty of the state.
Based on the use of the ecosystem approach, it is possible to create technological and information models and management of industrial business processes.
The aim of the study is to form and develop a model of digital transformation of innovative ecosystems in the industrial sector of the region.
