Project offices as the locus of corporate innovative systems genesis

The general prerequisites for studying the transformation of an economic formation as a multilevel complex of subsystems of one technological mode into a complex of subsystems of another technological mode are considered. On the basis of the general research plan, the current tasks of clarifying the classification of innovative systems and identifying the locus of one of the key subsystems origin are defined; that is the mini-economic subsystem proposed in the work called the Corporate Coordination Innovative System (CCIS) as a part of the corporate innovative system. This made it possible to propose a variant of improving the classification of innovative systems and solve the problem of identifying the locus of the corporate innovative system. Based on the conducted factor analysis of innovative activity, it was concluded that the project offices of the technostructure become the locus of corporate innovative systems forming in the post-Soviet enterprises. The analysis of the dependence of innovative activity on the quantitative and qualitative development of project offices has revealed the direct dependence of innovative activity on the professional diversity of the project office. Such a conclusion becomes the basis for the induction of the hypothesis that the project offices will become the organizational structure of management within the existing organizational structure of management, becoming in the course of their development a regeneration locus of transformation of the technostructure into a new type in accordance to the new technostructure. Based on the conclusions, promising research directions were formulated, predetermined by the goal of facilitating the accelerated development of innovative systems, and by means of that is an accelerated transition to a new wave of innovation or techno-economic paradigm. The results of the study make it possible to proceed to the study of not only the issues of forecasting the features of technostructures adapted for functioning in the conditions of information knowledge economy, but also the question of establishing patterns and the nature of new type clusters forming; they are formed by business contacts of technostructures.
