Conceptual Principles of Labor Intensity Determination for Rationing of Innovative Work at the Enterprise

Abstract

The level of profitability of innovative products depends on the correct determination and justification of the labor intensity of innovative works. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the methodological approach to determining the labor intensity of innovative work at the enterprise. The following research methods were used in the study: grouping and systematization; logical generalization and comparison; analysis and synthesis.The sequence of determining the labor intensity for rationing of innovative work is proposed. Generalization of existing methods, approaches, and tools for determining labor intensity allowed to substantiate the conceptual basis for determining the labor intensity of innovative work at the enterprise regarding the features of calculating the labor intensity of innovative work for each group of rationing methods; substantiation of recommendations for determining the labor intensity depending on the method of rationing of innovative work and determining the labor intensity on separate stages of the innovation process and management work.The proposed approach for determining the labor intensity of innovative work at the enterprise is based on the justification of the content of stages and steps of the innovation process; and on the suggested classification of labor operations into creative and inventive operations, creative and managerial operations, and routine operations. The key role in the proposed approach is given to determining the conformity of rationing methods to the scopes of works to the stages of the innovation process, which is realized with the matrix for choosing methods for determining labor intensity.The introduction of theoretical and methodological principles and practical recommendations for determining the labor intensity of innovative work at the enterprise allows to differentiate stages and types of work. Also? it gives an opportunity to choose the rationing method for different types of innovative work and to determine the labor intensity of innovative work for increasing management decisions efficiency.

Management of the Agricultural Enterprises' Competitiveness in the Context of Food Security

“…Strategic factors for ensuring competitiveness are human capital, knowledge, skills and continuous professional development of the personnel of agricultural enterprises (Chernoivanova et al, 2023). Meeting the needs of buyers (consumers) and gaining competitive advantages also requires an effective marketing strategy and tactics for the enterprise in the market (Bondarenko, 2021).…”
