Abstract


In the conditions of global economic transformation, the development of socio-economic systems is possible only through the implementation of innovative national, regional and corporate strategies. The evolution of technology and science is changing the socio-economic environment, innovations are becoming a key factor in economic growth and competitiveness of countries and organizations. But, despite the great potential of innovations, their effective implementation does not always take place. Under such conditions, the topic of this study becomes especially relevant. The purpose of the article is to identify the determinants of the effective diffusion of innovations in socio-economic systems and its evaluation. The object of the research the process of effective diffusion of innovations in socio-economic systems. Methods used in the study: methods of scientific knowledge, namely analysis and synthesis, induction, measurement, observation, formalization, logical-analytical techniques. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption that the effective diffusion of innovations in socio-economic systems depends on a set of factors, the management of which allows identifying problem areas and improving the mechanisms for solving them. Presenting main material. The study, based on the theory of innovation diffusion, identified the key determinants of the efficiency infiltration of innovation in socio-economic systems. It is appropriate to include: technical features of innovations, cultural and ethical differences between different groups of consumers, availability of financial resources for the implementation of innovations, effectiveness of communication mechanisms and interaction networks between participants of the socio-economic system, degree of involvement and support of participants, level of education and information literacy of the population, cultural, social and political aspects, etc. The world experience in methods of assessing the effectiveness of national innovative activity, on the basis of which international indexes and ratings are determined, including Global Innovation Index, European Innovation Development Scoreboard, Bloomberg Innovation Index, Global Competitiveness Index, etc., is analyzed. It has found that international indexes and ratings have a number of shortcomings that do not allow to correctly assess the effectiveness of the implementation of the results of innovative activities and to identify the main problematic aspects that prevent the diffusion of innovations in socio-economic systems. The originality and practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the identified determinants of the efficiency of innovation diffusion of socio-economic systems can be used to identify problematic aspects and increase the level of innovative development of countries. Conclusions and prospects for further research: the determinants of the effectiveness of the diffusion of innovations in socio-economic systems are determined. The study of their interaction and their management can increase the effectiveness of the diffusion of innovations at the macroeconomic level. It has been established that the indicator systems used to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative activities of socio-economic systems at the macroeconomic level characterize various aspects of national innovative development, reflecting not only the results of innovative activities, but also available innovative resources. However, there is still no clear idea of the composition of the system of indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the diffusion of innovations and their number. In order to eliminate subjectivity in further research, it is advisable to use mathematical methods of forming such system of evaluation indicators.
