Methodological approaches to the institutional transformations for the formation and development of the scientific and industrial complex (on the example of the Republic of Belarus)

Even large industrial enterprises do not have sufficient potential to implement large-scale innovation projects, which would allow, on the one hand, to ensure the high-tech products production and, on the other hand, to overcome the consequences of sanctions pressure. One of the possible ways to solve this problem is scientific-industrial integration, the end result of which in the Republic of Belarus can be an effectively functioning scientific-industrial complex. The aim of the study is to identify and evaluate methodological approaches to the institutional transformations for the formation and development of scientific-industrial complex. This article provides a description of the scientific-industrial integration theory and methodology, including: periodization and classification of scientific-industrial integration; comparative analysis of approaches to the scientific-industrial integration management; a set of economic relations, processes and phenomena that underlie scientific-industrial integration. On the basis of analyzing the foreign countries experience, the conclusion is made about the regulation of integration processes by the models and institutional environment of the country’s development. The unique role of the state in scientific-industrial integration of the Republic of Belarus is studied. The study of the concept and theory, which can be put at the basis of scientific-industrial complex, allowed to identify the criteria, prerequisites and principles of its formation.
