Abstract

The main subject of the research in the monograph under review is the institutional environment for the creation and commercialization of new technologies. According to its disciplinary status and methods, the research presented in the book is sociological with the elements of economic, statistical and legal analysis. The chapters and paragraphs-essays analyze many aspects and levels, subsystems and elements of the institutional environment that affects the creation and commercialization of the new technologies affecting the efficiency and development prospects of the national innovation system. The authors use extensive material characterizing the legal system and law enforcement practice, the structure of government bodies, mechanisms and management tools, various organizations, and the experience of many technological projects. The statistics and expert opinions identified in a number of interviews conducted by the authors are widely used. The material is well systematized, for the most part it is correctly analyzed and deeply comprehended. The selection in the monograph of a large fragment of the text, especially devoted to the formulation of recommendations arising from the study, is an exceptional merit of the monograph. However, many of the recommendations do not totally differ from the conclusions and are the same as they are, statements of observation results. It is noted that the monograph would benefit from the presence in it of a theoretical and methodological chapter or paragraph with a justification of the general approach and specific research methods, a characteristic of the conceptual system used and the model (theoretical scheme) of the system under study.
