The leading attractors of socio-economic and scientific and innovative development of Russia

Abstract

This chapter presents analysis of the attractors of the national system of socio-economic and scientific & innovative development of Russia, which are already working or could soon become the drivers of technological breakthrough. The performed analysis showed that the leading attractors of socio-economic and scientific & innovative development could influence the trajectory of general development in a rather ambivalent way. Emphasis is made on the fact that without a strong scientific & innovative segment of the industry it would be impossible to achieve significant success in formation of the modern economy. The most significant attractors include the defense industry, which effectiveness is directly related to achievements of the Russian scholars; and the segment of the Russian economy that is oriented at export of energy resources. It is concluded that successful “digitization” of the national economy and increase of quality of government control (effective work of e-government) could become one of the important attractors of development of Russia, for saving managerial resources and time and for fighting corruption.
