The scientific-practical value of the results consists in the possibility of their application in combination with the analysis of the official statistical data in the course of perfection of the state scientific and technical and innovative policy in the direction of a more intensive use of the scientific knowledge and achievements in the interests of modernization of the economy of Azerbaijan. The proposed approach can ensure an information integration of the subjects of the scientific organizations and be used for a complex research of the industrial, innovative and economic-administrative processes within the framework of the development of science.
