Challenge of methodology for calculation of innovation activity indicators

The methodology for calculating the indicators of innovation activity by country, region and its participants is based on established practice. Comparison of innovation activity indicators, innovation indices and innovative capacity of the subjects of innovation activity provides incomplete or contradictory information about the real state of affairs in the country, industry, enterprise that creates and implements innovation. The purpose of the work is to identify inconsistencies in the methodology for calculating indicators of innovation activity and compare it at different levels (country, region or organization). The principal methods are the comparison of various indicators and their conjunctions (innovation index, innovation potential, share of intangible assets, R&D costs, types of intellectual property, their evaluation, number of patents and other indicators) by countries, regions and subjects of innovation activity and analysis of these indicators, degree of their completeness and consistency with each other at different levels. The results of the study have showed that such indicators as R&D costs, the ratio of tangible and intangible assets and the method of their accounting do not reflect the real value of intellectual property. The identified problems of methods for calculating indicators of innovation activity require a different calculation methodology, which should have a level structure and depend both on the innovation development policy of countries and regions, the scope of enterprises and their type, and on regulations, standards and protection of intellectual property rights of individual authors and right holders. Taking into account the levels of methodology and results of intellectual activity when calculating indicators of innovative activity gives a more complete picture of the contribution of entities implementing such activities to the economy of the country and regions and ensures economic growth for enterprises in any industry.
