MECHANISM OF MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATIVE ADVANTAGES OF THE REGION (THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN, THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION)

In the article some approaches to the formation of innovative advantages of the region (on the example of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation) are considered and the main problems arising in this case are highlighted. It is emphasized that in the complex socioeconomic development of the Republic of Tatarstan, one of the important issues is the formation of an innovation environment, the development of innovative business. The methodological basis of the study was a dialectical method of cognition and a systematic approach to the analysis of the facts and phenomena under consideration. The analysis methods used in various combinations at each stage of the study, depending on the purpose of the study and the problems examined, contributed to the increase in the reliability and validity of the conclusions made by the author. Assessment of innovative advantages of the region is carried out by means of researching the components of the innovation infrastructure in the region. The calculation of the integral indicator of the provision of the innovative process of the infrastructure development component of the Republic of Tatarstan made it possible to identify shortcomings in financial activity. Diagnostics of the asymmetry of labor productivity of residents and non-residents of a business incubator made it possible to determine the effectiveness of investing budget funds in the implementation of an innovation structure - a business incubator. The mechanism of managing the innovative advantages of the region, through the components of the innovation infrastructure, has shown that the functioning of the innovation infrastructure is influenced by the system of state centers of scientific and technical information, structures that support small businesses, technology transfer centers in the region. Applied mechanisms and methods of control do not ensure effective use of budget funds allocated for the development of innovation infrastructure. It is necessary to develop a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of innovation infrastructure based on the calculation of the integral indicator.
