Abstract

This articles analyses the innovative dimension of structural transformations of the Ukrainian economy as exemplified by industrial enterprises (based on data from surveys conducted by regional departments of statistics). The authors compare them with experiences of European Union countries (based on Eurostat data). It was found that financial constraints remain the main factor responsible for the slower pace of innovation activities in Ukrainian industrial enterprises. Organizational-institutional problems, as well as the near absence of cooperation between the state, science and business in sectors that are priority for the national economy have been identified as the main obstacles to the activation of innovation in the Ukrainian industry. It was found that the problems with the staffing of high-tech development, as well as the practical lack of mechanisms for indirect state financing of innovation activities in Ukraine, are a higher barrier to innovation activities than in the EU countries.(original abstract)
