INFLUENCE OF INNOVATION ENVIRONMENT ON ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF INNOVATION POTENTIAL

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to decide how the innovation environment influences the level of innovation potential of innovation activity entities. The subject of the research is the role of the innovation environment in the level of innovation potential. The definitions of innovation potential proposed by various authors together with the formulations of the innovation environment presented by different authors are considered. Key features are identified in relation to innovation potential. The relationship between the elements of innovation potential and the innovation environment is shown. The structure of the innovation environment and its definition are proposed. As a result of the of the innovative environment influence analysis on the level of innovative potential, the following conclusions were made: 1) in modern conditions, the innovative environment largely determines the level of innovative potential, 2) the innovative environment is a structure consisting of many components, 3) the innovative environment is able to respond set goals only if all the necessary components are available, 4) support from the state plays a significant role in ensuring the proper level of functioning of the innovation environment.
