Process approach in the system of management of intellectual property in consumer cooperation enterprises

Abstract

Currently, one of the competitive advantages of enterprises and organizations of consumer cooperation are high-quality products, goods, and services. Following the ISO 9000 quality management standards, quality management is a system of interrelated rules, specialists, and measures to improve the efficiency of the business and ensure the legality of the financial and economic activities of enterprises. The key tool for the development of consumer cooperation enterprises is intellectual capital and intellectual assets. The existing standards of the series “Intellectual Property and Innovation” organically include the management of the intellectual property in the quality management system of consumer cooperative enterprises, and determine the focus of management on managing the updating processes of all elements of entrepreneurial activity. Ensuring the effective management of the intellectual assets of enterprises of consumer cooperative should be systematic. A subsystem that, as an element of enterprise management, ensures the achievement of the general goal should be created. Such a subsystem can be an intellectual property management system. Modern digital trends make it possible for consumer cooperation, which has a diversified production infrastructure and the optimal combination of activities taking into account territorial specifics, to apply a process approach for the effective management of the intellectual property and the whole diversity of business processes, ensuring sustainable development and the realization of its socially-oriented goals.
