Abstract

Purpose: Research of the potential of developing innovative process management in educational institutions and industrial enterprises in conditions of the scientific educational networking. Methodology: The theoretical basis of the innovative process development management of organizations involved in the scientific educational network is founded on the synthesis of such approaches as network interaction theory, anthropological approach to the educational innovation management as well as systematic, functional and synergetic approaches. Findings: It has been established that management and development of the scientific educational network envisages a certain sequence of actions that makes provisions for the system-defined self-development of the network participants. Basic features of the innovative policy of scientific educational development have been described. A set of criteria for the efficiency assessment of the network innovative projects have been presented. It has been demonstrated that the primary outcome of the network interaction is not only the scientific innovative impact enhancing the efficiency and quality of education but the process of the network interaction as such promoting the creation of new network cells that represent the content-based expansion of the scientific educational network. originality: A function-based structural model for managing the network participants' innovative activities has been designed. The network-based innovative process development has been specified in terms of algorithm including such elements as conceptualization, planning development and functioning and laying out the prospective areas of activities, designing concrete innovative projects, managing the member subjects' interaction. Practical value: Application of the achieved results in educational practices makes it possible to enhance the innovative development efficiency of the establishments involved in networking. © Davydova N.N., Dorozhkin E.
