Interrelation of the rate of Russian Arctic regions’ economic development and the innovative activities of industrial production

Abstract

Arctic regions are the most important raw material base for the further development of the Russian economy but industrial production located there operates in adverse climatic conditions and the nature is extremely vulnerable to production waste pollution. In this regard it is very important to consider the current state and prospects of innovative activities of the industry. The paper considers the method of identifying the interrelation between the rates of economic growth of production in the regions of the Federation and its innovative activities based on a quantitative determination of the extensiveness and intensity of growth and the determination of the possibility of innovative development. At the same time an increase in the level of innovative activities should lead to a simultaneous increase in material efficiency, capital efficiency, and labor productivity. The dynamics of the rates of extensiveness and intensity of economic growth in all four regions of the Arctic for the period 2005-2016 over three separate types of industrial activity is shown. It is noted that economic growth in all regions was predominantly extensive. The intensive type of growth was only in certain regions in certain years of the analyzed period. It was determined that in order to increase the level of innovative activities of the industry government support is needed in the form of forming and implementing an appropriate incentive system including the "quasi-self-financing" of innovative activities. KeywordsArctic, types of economic growth, innovative activities, industrial production, efficiency of economic resources.

Quantitative assessment of sustainability level of industrial enterprises

“…As follows from our earlier results [13][14][15][16], the level and growth rate of technological development should have a significant impact on the level of sustainability, which is reflected by the dynamics of the coefficient values of the level of technological production (Kutp) as the ratio of material output to stock output. Table 5 shows our calculated data on the absolute values of this coefficient and its growth rates for 2011-2020 for all twelve above-mentioned enterprises.…”

“…Earlier we have developed a methodology of economic analysis of technological renewal of enterprise production systems [15,16]. It is based on the calculations of three main indicators: stock return, material yield and coefficientf of the level of manufacturability of production.…”

Targeting in management of sustainable innovative development for industrial enterprises

“…In our work [12], based on the analysis of the dynamics of key performance indicators of several large industrial enterprises in Russia for a five-year period, we hypothesised that there is a proportional relationship between the values of capital output ratio (COR) of production and material output ratio (MOR) of output, which is quantitatively reflected by the proportionality coefficient. In the future, based on the study of many activities of other industrial enterprises according to the data of annual financial (accounting) statements presented on their websites, as well as consideration of the types of industrial activities of the economy of the regions -subjects of the Federation according to Rosstat, with the corresponding analysis of the dynamics of the values of COR and MOR for a long period of time (10-15 years), we have shown that, firstly, such a dependence really exists [13], and regardless of how COR is calculated: by the entire volume of fixed assets or by the total volume of fixed assets. Secondly, the specific annual values of the proportionality coefficient may vary in one direction or another, but the prevailing trend for almost all the studied objects is an increase in the values of this coefficient.…”

Управление Инновационным Развитием Промышленности Арктической Зоны Российской Федерации

“…Знак плюс (+) соответствует видам промышленной деятельности, в которых износ основных фондов в 2015 г. превысил среднероссийский уровень. Таким образом, очевидно, что в целом тенденции развития промышленности в регионах Арктики не вполне соответствуют инновационноинтенсивному направлению обеспечения экономического роста [21][22][23][24][25][26]. Наиболее сложное положение сложилось в добывающей промышленности, где в двух регионах из четырех сформировалось самое неблагоприятное неинновационое и неэффективное направление развития.…”
