“…The analysis identified seven EU countries as innovation leaders, with higher efficiency of the units with respect to the groups divided based on the development in innovation. Lu, Kweh, and Huang (2014) defined innovation as a key resource for competitive advantage and evaluated NIS economic efficiency using DEA modelling. First, the network DEA production process was developed, and the efficiency of the NIS in 30 countries was subsequently measured.…”

This paper focuses on measuring technical efficiency of National Innovation System across a sample of the European Union (EU) countries using data envelopment analysis. We used an output-oriented constant returns to scale model to calculate the efficiency of the units represented by the European Union countries. This nonparametric method measures efficiency of input utilisation as compared to the achieved outputs during the consumption process. Following previous studies on this topic, we have used the number of researchers and the expenditures on research and development (R&D) as inputs and published scientific journal articles and applied patents as outputs of the model. Stemming from the available data, we have covered the period of 2005-2016. This period covers the economic period before the financial crisis and economic recession in which it was necessary to use resources effectively for the maximisation of final production. The study also presents data representing the era of growth trend in European economy. The only efficient countries in our study as of 2016 were found to be Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, and Romania. The number of efficient units decreased from six countries measured in 2005 from among the eight calculated in the years of the economic crisis to four efficient decision-making units (DMUs) in 2015. Germany, the best performer in the European Union with respect to patent rankings, was classified

“…On the one hand, a system is a physical reality with respect to which decisions are made; on the other hand, the system analysis creates an abstract and conceptual system described by symbols or other means which is a definite structural-logical tool for understanding, describing and optimizing the behavior and relationships of the elements of a real physical system. The NIS is a targeted system used for achieving high values: the index of economic freedom, the education and science development level, the technological structure of the economy [7], living standards, cost and quality of intellectual capital [8], competitiveness of the economy, the share of innovative enterprises and innovative products [9], competition and demand for innovations, redundancy of innovations, developed industry of knowledge and knowledge export.…”

The article reveals new theoretical and methodological aspects of information and communication technology implementation into the national innovation system. Analysis of the role of information and communication technologies for developing the national innovation system is based on the structural-functional approach implemented in a mathematical model. The mathematical model reflects the target sequence of stages of the economic and mathematical modeling cycle which shows functions of logical interrelationships of model elements in a numerical form. To determine priorities of development of the national innovation system, interdependent elements (technical and communication tools, organizational and methodological support) were identified. The efficiency indicator for information and communication technologies reflects the state and prospects of technical and communication tools forming the environment for the effective use of limited resources and reproduction of the innovative product by the national innovation system, as well as organizational and methodological support creating conditions for the adequate use of information and communication technologies. The mechanism, sequence and procedures for implementation of information and communication technologies are presented. They allow to follow acceptable practical recommendations and proposals when applying level segmentation which determines the rationality of hierarchical structuring of innovative processes and their organizational and target development. The article analyzes a management system for the national innovation system and describes its operation principle. The need for forming a constant set of parameters and regular assessment of integral indicators of the efficiency of the national innovation system and its attractiveness for innovators and investors (monitoring of the dynamics of innovative, economic, social and other processes) based on the mathematical model for evaluating the efficiency of information and communication technologies was substantiated. For adjusting management procedures and development of optimal management decisions, a rational scheme for evaluating the efficiency of the management system of the national innovation system was developed. It involves comprehensive assessment of prospects and risks.

“…The creation of a "green", ecologically friendly living environment and people's labor activities require significant financial resources, and the maintenance of the formal mechanisms and institutions that support it require organizational efforts. The implementation of the "green" strategy is based on a high degree of readiness for transformation of the existing infrastructure for ensuring the health, working capacity, and professionalism of workers, with a view to further developing human capital [1,2,3].…”

“…The problems of human capital were studied in many aspects by foreign, Vietnamese, Russian scientists. The interconnections of the development of human capital and innovation, its functions in the intellectual economy, in the management of the service sector, the combination with the development of human potential [1][2][3][4] are investigated. It is necessary to point to the fundamental research of G. Becker [5], S. Kuznets.…”

Impact of greening projects on the development of human capital in Vietnam’s cities

The article considers the influence of factors of the urban environment on the human and professional capital of workers living in large cities of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The present state of urban agglomerations of Vietnam and the trends of greening urban areas are assessed, considered as a factor in the perceived quality of life of the population, which has a direct impact on the state and development of the human capital of workers living in the city. It is concluded that a significant part of the urban areas of the major cities of Vietnam from the point of view of landscaping are insufficiently equipped. The quality of life of workers in these territories has significant drawbacks, which determines the limitations inherent in human capital. The issue identifies the types of landscaping of urban areas in major cities of Vietnam, and evaluates the effectiveness of a number of projects implemented under various types of landscaping.
