Modeling and Development of a Methodology for Assessing the Socio-Economic Processes in the Management of Innovative Infrastructure

Abstract

The aim of our studies was to develop recommendations to management representatives of business incubators concerning its management structures, as well as to the public authorities in charge of regulation of this sphere. In this article a methodology for assessing the socio-economic processes of business incubation was developed ;it differs from the previously proposed by foreign and Russian scientists systematic approach to the consideration of the management of the business incubator and the ability to quantify the level of development of management processes, which allows to identify and calculate the available socio-economic resources in their development. This article includes first proposed models describing the effect of management processes of business incubators on their effectiveness (a model showing the influence of the process of establishing criteria for selecting businesses on the number of jobs created in the business incubator; a model illustrating the effect of the process of formation and use of sources on financing on the financial profitability of the business incubator, and so on). The use of these models in the practice of management of business incubators might give the opportunity to consider the influence of qualitative factors (the goal of business incubation, the quality of services provided; qualification of personnel, etc.) in the assessment of business incubators as a socio-economic systems. Results of the study are universal and can be used as a methodological tool for improving the management of any business incubators.
