PROBLEMS OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY OF BUSINESS SECTOR ENTERPRISES IN THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS INDUSTRY
Indicators of innovative activity in the field of production of building materials are analyzed. The impact of investments on the effectiveness of innovative activities in comparison with industrial production and the construction industry is evaluated. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the innovation cost and the volume of innovative products. The research is based on the use of statistical data and public data of Russian companies. The results of the study demonstrated the absence of a correlation between the innovation costs and the volume of innovative products due to the impact of a complex of factors that cause the slow application of innovative materials in construction.
Keywords: innovation, building materials, construction. Highlights:
♦ directions of innovative activity in the production of building materials are identified;
♦ an assessment of the relationship between the innovation costs and the volume of innovative products in the production of building materials and in industrial production is given;
♦ the key reasons for the identified inconsistencies are considered.
