THE ROLE OF INNOVATIONS IN RENEWAL OF FIXED CAPITAL OF ORGANIZATIONS by O. E. Astafieva, A. V. Kozlovsky, N. A. Moiseenko

“…These trends are caused, on the one hand, by the lack of a clearly formulated concept of an innovation system, and, consequently, by the inability to determine the ways of its development, and by the active use of undeservedly forgotten program-target planning methods, on the other hand. A detailed analysis of various positions and statistical materials allowed us to prove that, contrary to the generally accepted opinion, the Russian model of public administration and financing of innovative activities has signs of cluster and state-corporate types. …”
