Developing the Innovation Ecosystem of a Large Enterprise

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to verify the author’s analytical model for assessing the development of the innovation ecosystem of a large enterprise.Tasks. The author describes the problems of assessing the level of development of innovative ecosystems; considers the relationship between the indicators of ecosystem dynamics (characterizing the stakeholders of the ecosystem) and the growth rate of production of innovative goods; reveals the specific features of ecosystem management, particularly with regard to interaction with ecosystem stakeholders as a factor in the ecosystem’s development.Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study includes scientific publications on ecosystem genesis and assessment of the development of socio-economic ecosystems. Regression analysis is used to calculate the degree of connectivity between the previously selected indicators affecting the dynamics of production of innovative goods. The informational basis of the study consists of indicators of financial and economic activity of a large industrial enterprise in the Sverdlovsk region as well as indicators characterizing interaction with its stakeholders.Results. Development indicators of the innovation ecosystem of a large enterprise are calculated for 2013-2019 based on its stakeholder decomposition. Factors that are closely linked to the potential aggregate indicator of innovation ecosystem development are identified, and ways to make their analysis less complicated are outlined.Conclusions. Testing of the analytical model for assessing the development of the innovation ecosystem of a high-tech enterprise has revealed the irreducibility of the integral indicator of innovation ecosystem development to the production of new goods. The importance of developing an ecosystem management technology is substantiated.
