Use Of Innovations In Russian Oil Refining Industry

Table 7:

Reasons lagging behind in technological development Opportunities to overcome them
1. Absence of special test sites for testing and demonstration of new large-scale machinery and equipment. Creation of special innovative technological platforms: technopolises, technoparks, business incubators, etc.
2. Lack of highly qualified personnel. Development of basic professional educational programs with practice-oriented participation of oil refining companies on the basis of the leading engineering universities of the country.
3. Significant share of state ownership in the capital structure of oil refining companies. Capital restructuring with the involvement of domestic and foreign business partners and investors.
4. Weak competition development. Development of a competitive environment by restructuring the capital of the oil refining sector of the economy in Russia and the adoption of comprehensive measures at the legislative level. Using the investment potential of small and medium-sized businesses in the innovation process of the oil refining industry.
5. The orientation of the innovation activities on the acquisition and development of foreign technologies and development. State support for domestic R & d and the organization of special sites on the basis of the leading engineering universities of the country.
6. The lack of state support and regulation of innovative activity. Active participation of regional bodies in innovation management. Timely adjustment of the legislative framework and improvement of regulatory support, for example: "strategy of innovative development of the Russian Federation until 2020", "Energy strategy of Russia until 2020, 2030", State programs of the Russian Federation "energy Efficiency and energy development", etc.
7. The underdevelopment of the innovation infrastructure in the industry. Cooperation in the field of scientific research and practical activities of plants. The use of modern experience in the use of venture capital. Development of innovative outsourcing and transfer of innovative ideas.
8. Outdated material and technical base. Modernization and reconstruction of equipment, structures, sites and research and development works laboratories to implement experiments and tests in the framework of innovative activities.
9. Irrational distribution of expenses on research and development works. Tight control over the targeted use of expenditure on research and development works.Maintaining accounting policies of companies using modern methods and means.
10. There is no or poorly developed information base for innovation. Introduction of modern information technologies and software products for effective monitoring and establishment of links between the participants of the innovation process.
11. Curbing investment in innovation Development and use of methods of economic evaluation of the effectiveness of innovative projects aimed at results in the long term, rather than in the short term.
12. Low demand for the results of innovative activities in oil refining. The input of technological innovation in instrument and the automotive industry to change design characteristics of domestic cars for the use of high quality fuels that meet international quality standards and reduce impacts on the environment by reducing emissions from the exhaust. The increase in the price of the use of environmentally harmful types of fuels.
13. Limited marketing research in the study of the oil products market. Refresher training of marketing specialists in the company and their role in conducting market studies prior to R & d in the innovation process.
14. Lack of financial resources for the development of innovation. Development of state support programs for innovative projects in oil refining. The organization of venture capital funds.The creation of favourable conditions for investment attractiveness in the industry.
