Innovative Aspect of Assessing the Competitiveness of Engineering Companies in the Nuclear Industry

Abstract

Innovative development of enterprises and production of high-quality competitive products is the key to economic development and power of the modern government. Assessment of innovation performance and development prospects is an important part of increasing competitiveness of enterprises. The article is aimed at identifying indicators for rapid assessment of the current state and innovative potential of engineering companies in order to increase their competitiveness and choose strategy development. In the process of preparation of the article used general scientific methods of research, as well as the method of enterprise development, coefficient analysis, methods of classification, graphic visualization, and matrix approach. The author made classification of indicators of enterprises innovative development on the basis of an assessment of the current state and prospects of development, and selected examples of relevant indicators. A matrix scheme and a complex methodology for assessing the effectiveness of innovative development, as well as the choice of basic and innovative strategy are developed. A comparative assessment of the innovative development of Russian and foreign engineering companies related to the nuclear industry is made, taking into account actual data on the development of the respective companies.
