Relevance of the Indicator “Quantity of Intellectual Property Assets” for Operational Management of Regional Innovation Efforts

Abstract

In order to increase the efficiency of operational management of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to reduce the time lag between obtaining primary statistical data and processing analytical information for government employees. The scientific research analyzed the relevance of such a primary statistical indicator as “the number of intellectual property objects of the subjects of the Russian Federation”. The relevance of the indicator was justified by formalizing the relationship between the quality of an operational management decision and time, as well as by conducting a correlation and regression analysis between the indicators “number of intellectual property objects of the subjects of the Russian Federation” and the complex indicator “rating of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation”; proposals were formulated for operational management solutions that increase innovation at the regional level. To achieve the aims of the research, such scientific methods as analysis, deduction, synthesis, graphical method and statistical method were used. As a result of the research, it was found that there is a strong positive relationship between the indicators, which is confirmed by the Spearman correlation coefficient based on the rating of innovative development of the subjects of the Russian Federation for 2020 and 2023 years of publication based on statistical data for 2019 and 2021. It was also determined that the statistical significance of the data is high, which is confirmed by the coefficient of determination based on statistical data for 2019 and 2021. The interannual relationship of the data indicates a tendency towards an increase in the relationship of indicators for 2019 and 2021 years of statistical observations, which is confirmed by the Student’s criterion. In that way, the relevance of the indicator “number of intellectual property objects” for the purposes of operational management of innovation activities is high and proven. The results obtained can be used as a basis for creating an operational integral indicator of regional innovation activity and for adjusting the tools used by government officials in the field of managing the innovative development of Russian regions.
