Systemic Mechanisms of Coordination of Innovation Activity Participants

In the article, in the light of modern theory of socio-economic systems, the main problems of coordination of the participants of innovative activity at different levels of the hierarchy of management are considered. Particular attention is paid to coordinating of actions of the agents-generators of innovative ideas, developers of innovative products, managers of innovative enterprises, consumers of innovation. The factors inhibiting innovative activity in the domestic economy are determined, key problems of the formation of the innovation economy in Russia are formulated. It is shown that coordination mechanisms based on the synchronization of the interaction of innovative objects, projects, processes within the system of a higher order are the most stable. Key principles of the development of coordination mechanisms for innovation activity participants in innovative activities that occupy different positions in the national innovation system are formulated. It is shown that systematic coordination mechanisms must coordinate the behavior of actors, giving the specifics of innovation, functions of the systems as «object», «environment», «process» and «project», factors of individual behavior, the interdependence of the system development and the individual, as well as economic cycles. Specificity of coordination of the participants in innovation requires, as it is shown in the work, special attention to the humanitarian aspects of interagency and inter-system coordination, including the application of methods of animalistic coordination based on the concept of the «soul» of the socioeconomic system. Conclusions of a system-wide nature are projected into the sphere of coordination of the activities of state authorities and economic agents.
