Abstract:

An innovative vector of development and integration of innovative activity into the existing structure of economy are acknowledged to be uncontested. The difficulty of making decisions, choosing priorities in the innovative sphere involve both adoption of international terminology and the quality problems of assessing structural elements of the innovation process. The statistics of innovation, based on international assessment standards, originated in 1989. Measuring innovative activity in Russia dates back to 1994 and is considered to be the process of qualitative interpretation of phenomena in order to establish quantitative methods for determining the quantity, structure, intensity and dynamics of innovation processes. This article proposes an index to assess the innovative capacity of the economy of the Tyumen region and the method of calculation, limited by the actual information array observed by Tyumen Statistics Service. The quantity of the innovation potential of the Tyumen region is appropriate to the developing economy of the region.
