Most of the textile enterprises in the Republic of Kazakhstan are small and all of them belong to the private sector. Despite various measures of state support, the competitiveness of domestic textile enterprises remains at a low level. Therefore, in order to increase the competitiveness of textile enterprises, it is necessary to stimulate their innovative activity. The article examines the need to create a management model for effective management of innovative activities of domestic textile enterprises.Findings.
