Abstract

The fundamental challenges faced by the global economy with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the prospects for re-globalization provide opportunities for the intensification of the development of new forms of coordination of economic relations – innovative ecosystems (regional, industrial, entrepreneurial). It seems that economic relations are built within the framework of a particular ecosystem, and the scientific descriptive and predictive analytics are not sufficiently able to describe their nature and the main patterns of growth. In order to provide a theoretical and practical contribution to the developing ecosystem approach, the article presents an analytical model of the innovation ecosystem of a high-tech company, proposed for evaluating and comparing its level of development. Research methods include content analysis of scientific literature devoted to the study of innovative ecosystems and approaches to their assessment, system analysis and factor modeling. The research fundament is based on the dynamics of indicators of innovative development of the ecosystem of a large production company in the Sverdlovsk region for 2013-2019. The model was tested according to the indicators of 2018. Further directions of the research in the practical aspect will consist in a comparative analysis of other periods of the company’s activity, as well as in the application and verification of the model on the indicators of other organizations. Justification of the possibilities of creating technologies for managing the innovation ecosystem is seen as a theoretical component of future research.
