On some features of management innovation theory in national science

At present, economic advancement based on development and implementation of innovation is defined as the priority direction for the Russian economy, the primary focus being on technological forms of innovation. The results of the innovation strategy implementation in the national economy, characterized by low rates of innovative development of Russian enterprises, show that this approach is restricted. According to the author, results of innovative development of domestic enterprises directly depend on the transformation of management systems with changes both in the external and internal environment. Management innovations appear to be the main instrument of such transformation. Nowadays, in national innovation science there is a "gap" in respect to management innovations, resulting from some peculiarities of development of teachings about this kind of innovations and hindering their diffusion into domestic enterprises. Thus, the article is aimed at identifying the key problems and their causes. In order to achieve this goal, evolution of theoretical studies on management innovation is analyzed, the main approaches of national scientists to defining this type of innovation are identified, analysis of normative documents regulating innovative activity in the domestic economy is performed. As a result, some of the features determining the "gap" between theory and practice in the sphere of management innovation were revealed and formulated, which made it possible to identify the main obstacles that determine "bottlenecks" in innovation science. The efforts aimed at leveling these features will make it possible to use the benefits of management innovation in practice and to create the environment favorable for the development of domestic enterprises and economy on the whole.
