THE CONSUMER VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE INNOVATIVE ECOSYSTEM OF THE FAR EAST OF RUSSIA

The aim of this research article is to study the essence of Russian Far East innovation ecosystem as the center of knowledge generation and defining consumer value of knowledge, as well as the design of areas for developing institutional environment of macro-region innovation ecosystem that would allow for defining the direction of Far East universities innovation development. In the article, based on a comparative analysis of scientific approaches to the characteristics of ecosystems, the content and main features of innovative ecosystems are revealed, their key components and interaction features are defined. From the point of view of systematic approach authors formulate the interpretation of innovation ecosystem as an open dynamic self-organizing and self - developing system consisting of organizational, structural and functional components (institutions) and their relations, which creates, uses and transforms academic knowledge and ideas into innovation products in the complex matrix of relations between its components. The interpretation of the category of innovation ecosystem from the point of view of the system approach is formulated. The role and importance of the formation process of the consumer value of knowledge in the innovation ecosystem is revealed. It has been proven that consumer value is the basis for acknowledging efficacy of research and technical results as the view of a consumer and his/her readiness to pay for the device defines consumer value of such a device and technical knowledge behind it. The article provides grounds for instruments of creating innovation consumer value such as commercialization and valorization. Several characteristics of intellectual components of Russian and Russian Far East economics are given. The authors point out the problems hindering the development of innovation ecosystem. The need for formulating methodological approach to evaluating innovation territorial unity - innovation ecosystem of the macro-region has been proven. Authors demonstrate that in order to form macro-region innovation ecosystem model it is necessary to create modern network system of university science based on «digital manufacture». The article contains priority areas for innovation development of Far East Universities and macro-region innovation ecosystem. The novelty and originality of the conducted research is in defining knowledge customer value in innovation ecosystem of the Russian Far East area and is reflected in designing innovation development areas for Far East universities and institutional environment of macro-region innovation ecosystem. This article is of particular interest to innovation ecosystem subjects that need to conduct targeted interaction with each other and external environment which is a relevant problem of managing macro-region ecosystem.
