“…The scientific basis of the theory of development and, in particular, the theory of innovative development is laid in the works of many domestic and foreign scientists, including M. Kondratieff (long wave theory) (Kondratieff, 2003), J. D. Bernal, G. Mensha (technological stalemate), A. Kleiknecht, S. Kuznets, B. Twiss, С. Freeman, J. Clark, L. Soete (Freeman, Clark, Soete, 1982), N. Nelson (the concept of the national innovation system), L. Leidesdorf (triple helix theory). In this direction it should be noted the works of J. Schumpeter (theory of economic development) (Schumpete, 1934), P. Drucker (theory of innovative economics of entrepreneurial type) (Drucker, 1993), who explored the entrepreneurial approach to development as an activator of innovation processes; discrete development on an innovative basis over time; the primacy of innovation compared to other activators of development, which form not only innovation but also business potential and develop new forms of business.…”
