In the course of the research, the structure of innovative activity of the enterprise was allocated to the subsystems: «Innovative activity», «Production and economic activity» and «State support and financial support». Scientific economic and mathematical methods such as a priori ranking, linguistic analysis, and cognitive modeling are used to identify and graphically represent the cause-and-effect relationships of the system. The a priori ranking allowed identifying indicators that from the point of view of scientists should be used in the analysis of subsystems. As a result, the causal links between the performance subsystems of small and medium-sized enterprises are identified and the indicators that have the greatest impact are identified. According to the simulation results, in order to intensify the innovation activity of small and medium enterprises, it is necessary to focus on the efficiency of the existing infrastructure of small and medium enterprises support, study the supply and demand in the market of business development services which will ensure compliance of services in the field of services for business development with the actual needs of small and medium enterprises. On the basis of the analysis of the received ratios of consonance, negative and positive influence it is possible to choose an acceptable strategy, for will promote increase of activation of innovative processes of small and average enterprises.
