Methodology for assessing resource needs of an organization implementing innovation projects

In modern market realities, it is impossible to imagine the development and strengthening of the competitive position of an economic entity without the implementation of innovative activities. Innovation plays a critical role for sustainable economic growth, socio-economic transformation, technological security, and economic diversification. The implementation of innovations requires resources that determine the potential of an economic entity and largely determine the innovation processes. Currently, the activities in the field of research and development in the Russian Federation are experiencing a number of difficulties due to the lack of intellectual, material, technical and financial resources, which negatively affects the innovation activities of the entire country. Therefore, in the context of limited resource capacity, it is critical to effectively allocate and evaluate the use of available and received resources. Since it is the competent management of the resource potential that will allow economic entities to reach a new qualitative level of development, create and / or strengthen competitive advantages. In this article, the authors propose methodological tools aimed at optimizing the attraction and use of resources of organizations engaged in research and development. The main purpose of the proposed methodology is to improve the information component of the process of resource provision of innovative projects and to increase the efficiency of using the resource potential. The authors express confidence that the methodology for assessing the resource needs of the organization for the implementation of an innovative project in the short term will optimally find the cost values of the costs for the implementation of an innovative project, taking into account the established probability of successful implementation of the project and acceptable risk.
