INNOVATION SYSTEM AT THE ENTERPRISE AS THE BASE OF THE INDUSTRY MODERNIZATION IN NORTHERN AND ARCTIC REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

It is known that the economic industry growth in the northern and Arctic regions was promoted mostly through the export of minerals and raw materials promoted by the favourable state on external markets. The industry mimicked the modernization because it was actually rather borrowing technologies and not the developing of own ideas. This approach hampered the industrial growth and negatively influenced the economic indexes in the Russian Federation. It is proposed to create and develop the innovative systems (IS) to effectively modernize the industry in northern and Arctic regions of the Russian Federation. The principle IS functions are set down, the system of investments, information and personnel is discribed. It has been shown that one of solution to compensate the personnel deficit in northern territories is the elevation of professional skill through the system of corporative training as an alternative to GOU VPO. A sample is presented how this training is performed in an private “Norilski Nikel”corporative university The establishing and effective functioning of IS makes it possible to create expedient prerequisites for innovative modernization and production of competitive goods. IS creation helps to overcome negative factors influencing the innovative activity of enterprises as well as strategic problems and challenges of the innovative development.
