Methods of estimation of competitiveness of innovation project in foresty sector

According to the authors, the main drawback of the existing methods of assessing the competitiveness of innovative projects is that they involve their comparison with each other. The proposed method involves an individual approach to evaluating the competitiveness of each innovation project, because each innovative project is unique, the same as the set affecting its competitiveness factors. To more objectively assess the competitiveness of individual innovation projects in the forestry sector, it is proposed to use "points of support". The "points of support" of the innovative project are the circumstances that have developed at this point in time (at this stage in the life cycle of the project), due to which the chances for successful development of the analyzed innovation project are increased. Use of this technique to assess the competitiveness of innovative projects implemented in other areas is possible, but only in case of making appropriate adjustments (it is possible to change the "fundamental modules" or the quantitative range of "points of support").
