MONITORING THE READINESS OF R&D RESULTS OF BUSINESS STRUCTURES FOR COMMERCIALIZATION

A methodical approach to monitoring the readiness of the R&D results of business structures for commercialization is substantiated. The approach is based on five evaluation components (consumer value, competitiveness, technological readiness, cost, and riskiness of the R&D result), which facilitate the implementation of monitoring from various aspects of the preparation of the R&D result. To justify the author's approach, a statistical study of innovatively active business structures in Ukraine was carried out, the purpose of which was to establish «bottlenecks» regarding the commercialization of the result of R&D. The monitoring of readiness for commercialization of the technology of interferometric determination of the refractive index of crystalline materials in the optical range, conducted based on the developed approach, proved the readiness of this development in all components, as well as the convenience of applying the approach in practice. The author's approach makes it possible to calculate probabilistic estimates of the stages of monitoring the readiness of R&D results for commercialization, which can be expressed quantitatively. This approach is a system (has input and output parameters) defined by isotropy with simple subordination, and symmetry with branching. This makes it possible to further apply the theory of reliability of hierarchically branched systems as a toolkit for interpreting monitoring results. The developed methodological approach will contribute to increasing the level of validity of monitoring the readiness of R&D results generated by business structures for commercialization, and the possibilities of developing several additional corrective methods within the given system.
