“…Furthermore, based on a recent survey of the field of smart cities [25], there are two main approaches to smart city: (1) the technology-oriented approach, i.e., infrastructures, architectures, platforms, systems, applications, and models and (2) the people-oriented approach, i.e., stakeholders, citizens, knowledge, services, and related data [20]. In other words, there are smart city strategies that focus on the efficiency and advancement of hard infrastructures in terms of transport, energy, communication, and distribution networks, and so on (e.g., [45,52,74,79,83,93]) and those that prioritise the soft infrastructures in terms of social and human capital, participation, equity, safety, cultural heritage, and so forth (e.g., [7,17,75,76,88,102]). There are also smart city strategies that combine these two perspectives (e.g., [16,73]).…”

There has recently been a conscious push for cities across the globe to be smart and even smarter and thus more sustainable by developing and implementing big data technologies and their applications across various urban domains in the hopes of reaching the required level of sustainability and improving the living standard of citizens. Having gained momentum and traction as a promising response to the needed transition towards sustainability and to the challenges of urbanisation, smart and smarter cities as approaches to data-driven urbanism are increasingly adopting the advanced forms of ICT to improve their performance in line with the goals of sustainable development and the requirements of urban growth. One of such forms that has tremendous potential to enhance urban operations, functions, services, designs, strategies, and policies in this direction is big data analytics and its application. This is due to the kind of well-informed decision-making and enhanced insights enabled by big data computing in the form of applied intelligence. However, topical studies on big data technologies and their applications in the context of smart and smarter cities tend to deal largely with economic growth and the quality of life in terms of service efficiency and betterment while overlooking and barely exploring the untapped potential of such applications for advancing sustainability. In fact, smart and smarter cities raise several issues and involve significant challenges when it comes to their development and implementation in the context of sustainability. With that in regard, this paper provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review and synthesis of the field of smart and smarter cities in relation to sustainability and related big data analytics and its application in terms of the underlying foundations and assumptions, research issues and debates, opportunities and benefits, technological developments, emerging trends, future practices, and challenges and open issues. This study shows that smart and smarter cities are associated with misunderstanding and deficiencies as regards their incorporation of, and contribution to, sustainability. Nevertheless, as also revealed by this study, tremendous opportunities are available for utilising big data analytics and its application in smart cities of the future to improve their contribution to the goals of sustainable development by optimising and enhancing urban operations, functions, services, designs, strategies, and policies, as well as by finding answers to challenging analytical questions and thereby advancing knowledge forms. However, just as there are immense opportunities ahead to embrace and exploit, there are enormous challenges and open issues ahead to address and overcome in order to achieve a Open Access © The Author(s) 2019.

The article identifies the fundamental problems of innovation as a factor in strengthening the economic security of an enterprise in the context of globalization and integration of the world’s economic space. The factors that have a direct impact on innovation activity both in the country and in the world have been investigated. Clustering of individual countries was carried out and Ukraine’s place among them was determined according to the Global Innovation Index. Using the software packages MS Excel and CurveExpert 5.0, a study of the index of innovative efficiency in Ukraine was carried out; dynamics of financing innovative activities in Ukraine, as well as the impact of the level of capital investment on the volume of financing innovative activities. It is proposed to assess the level of economic security of an enterprise based on indicators of its innovative development. The features of interpreting the concept of “innovative activity of enterprises” have been investigated. The sequence and interconnection of such categories as innovative potential, innovative activity, and innovative activity are analyzed. The structure of the process of innovation activity has been investigated. The rhombus of innovative activity is analyzed, which is formed from the following elements: receptivity to new things – provision of resources – communication and organization of the innovation process – a measure of competence. In the study of the specifics of the management of innovative-active enterprises, the analysis of the features and comparison of the differences between innovation activity and other types of economic activity was carried out. The structure of the process of managing innovatively active enterprises has been developed, taking into account aspects of the safety of activities. The prospect of further research identified a thorough analysis of the features of the management process of innovatively active enterprises, considering the impact of global risks and threats. The principal purpose of the article is to study the essence and main characteristics of innovatively active enterprises in the study's context of the security aspect.

“…It focuses on human and social capital as distinctive resources of smart cities (Aguilera et al, 2013;Lombardi et al, 2011), as it allows connecting people and creating relationships (Alawadhi et al, 2012). According to Shapiro (2006), smart cities are areas with a large share of the adult population with a college degree.…”
