Degtjarev P.A., Shuruhina T.V.

Authors conducted a study on business processes implementation of an innovative corporate accelerator in the industrial sector of the economy. Creating a corporate accelerator in the industrial sector of the economy, focused on working with innovative projects that are on the early stages of development, often does not imply a significant increase in income in the short term. This fact should be taken into account when forming the accelerator`s business model. In general, the business model is determined by the specifics of the creating a corporate accelerator, as well as its technological focus, the approach to financing participants, and the internal policy of the corporation. Most large companies monetize the corporate accelerator indirectly, through the growth of their own capitalization. A certain part of corporations receives income from the accelerator by attracting new customers from among the accelerator participants and their consumers who use the corporation`s products and services. This approach is recommended for companies that are willing to transfer some of their own technologies to startups, significantly reducing their cost or making them free for participants and graduates of the accelerator for a certain period of time. Based on the conducted research, recommendations that are aimed at optimizing business processes and developing the innovative system of the corporate accelerator, as well as improving the efficiency of using technologies in the framework of the acceleration program, are formulated. The results of the conducted research will be useful for managers of innovative corporate accelerators and companies of the industrial sector of the economy, researchers, investors and startups. Keywords: corporate acceleration, industry, innovation system, business processes, technologies. Highlights: ♦ the annual increase in the number of corporate accelerators in the world is taking place against the background of their growing popularity as a tool of "open innovation"; ♦ factors that slow down the development of corporate acceleration in Russia are the low level of competition among the majority of Russian large companies, the late introduction of "open innovation" tools, and low awareness of the creation ways and advantages of corporate accelerators; ♦ the industry model of the accelerator allows organizations to share the risks associated with the operation of an innovative corporate accelerator, to reduce expenses of its support, and to improve the quality of projects expertise of corporate accelerator participants; ♦ assessment of the target KPIs achievement degree, as well as effectiveness assessment of each of the key business processes of the corporate accelerator are necessary to improve them and get better results in the future.
