FORMATION OF AN EFFICIENT MECHANISM OF INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AT ENERGY ENTERPRISES

Abstract

Innovation has always played a crucial role in societal progress. Successful management of the innovation process allows for the development of socio-economic systems in the long term. To achieve this goal, an important task is to implement innovative management at enterprises. Information and energy are the key resources of social progress at the modern stage. That is why the introduction of innovative management at enterprises of the energy industry is an important task. Effective implementation of the innovation management system at enterprises requires the development of appropriate organizational forms, management methods and tools. Therefore, the task of implementing an effective mechanism of innovation management at energy enterprises arises. The purpose of the article is to develop an effective mechanism of innovation management at energy enterprises. System and process approaches, general scientific research methods, as well as retrospective analysis, the method of theoretical generalization, and comparative analysis have been used in the research process. The results of the study are the following provisions: modern concepts and approaches to innovative management of enterprises have been investigated; the key aspects of innovative management of enterprises have been identified, and the main directions of implementation of the mechanism of innovative management of energy enterprises have been developed (the directions cover the main areas of activity of energy enterprises); the need to implement the information system as a system-forming factor of the innovative management mechanism of the enterprise has been substantiated; a balanced system of goals for the implementation of innovative management has been defined for the key functional areas of the energy enterprise. Further areas of research are the development of detailed organizational forms, as well as management methods and tools in the enterprise’s innovative management system to ensure innovative effectiveness and the effectiveness of organizational and economic relations. The results of the research can be implemented in the work practice of enterprises in the energy sector. The results of the research have both social and environmental effects (the development of the energy sector provides additional jobs, solving the problems of energy saving and environmental protection).
