CONDITIONS AND PREREQUISITES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NETWORK FORMS OF INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN KAZAKHSTAN
The purpose of this study is to theoretically substantiate the need for the development in Kazakhstan
of such network forms of innovative entrepreneurship organization as research firms. In
the study, general and particular methods of economic research were used: the method of comparison and
generalizations, a method of expert assessments based on the analysis and synthesis of world experience in the development of innovative
entrepreneurship, in particular through the development of networking of key participants in the scientific innovation process. A research firm is a form of innovative
entrepreneurship organization, primarily focused on the initiation, development and maintenance
of new knowledge production processes, through the implementation of the main stages of research and development of experimental
samples, followed by a stage of practical application and introduction of new knowledge in the form of innovation.
The research firm interprets and qualifies the disciplinary diversity of the experience of its
employees and their competencies as a potential opportunity and asset for creative activity in the production
and application of knowledge. The research firm is interested in creating networks with universities and other
research institutes, driven by the desire to gain access to fundamental university
research and their further transformation into an entrepreneurial asset. Thus, in accordance
with world practice, one of the main directions of development of research firms in the modern
economy is effective cooperation with academic research institutes and universities, which is not practiced at all in Kazakhstan. Therefore, it is within the framework of the functioning of research firms
that the conflicting commercial and scientific interests of the main participants in scientific and innovative activities can be maximally harmonized, including
universities and research institutes.
Keywords: innovative entrepreneurship, research firms, networking of business and science, cross-employment
of scientists, university science.
