Technology level and innovative portfolio of Russian companies: on adequacy of assessment and existence of interrelation

Basing on the analogy of territorial and production complexes the issues of forming the modern organizational and economic mechanism of realization the tools of public-private partnership in the sphere of modernization and technological development of Russian economy are considered. To solve this task a comparative analysis is made of classical forms of modernization, technological (organizational and technical) level of production, on the one hand, and technological advances and companies audit, the balance of break-through and improvement projects in the innovative portfolio of companies, on the other hand. In this regard modern approaches towards assessment of organizational and technical level of enterprise included in methodological recommendations of RF Ministry of Economic Development on elaboration of programs of state enterprises innovative development are strictly criticized. Conclusions about high technological level of largest Russian companies are made without consideration of the traditional aspects of analysis that define that level - conditions and intensity of equipment renewal, which are good examples of the set of negative trends in long-term period (high level of depreciation, big share of obsolete equipment, unacceptably low coefficient of major tools renewal, low ratio of capital to labour). A comparative analysis of sets of priority directions of science, technologies and techniques development, sets of critical technologies and their specification in terns of R&D approved by the President of RF in 2006 and in 2011 respectively is made. By example of oil and gas sector of Russian economy conclusions about the evolution of these documents content are made. These documents determine the vector of initiation and realization of break-through projects within critical technologies. In particular, state support is stated for the existing race of increasing the volume of extraction and export of oil, while in the sphere of deep processing of oil the declared break-through in the practice of state regulation of the activity of oil and gas companies is not programmed. The table demonstrates the technological scarcity of Russian refining petrochemicals and critically low indicators of shares of Russian production on the national and international markets of petrochemicals products. In the article conclusions are made on the absence of interrelation between the processes of defining of the existing technological level of large Russian companies and elaboration of break-through and improvement projects as part of their innovative portfolios.
