Increasing the role of intangible activity in the machine and tool industry’s work: system approach

The object of the exploration is the structure of machine and tool industrial sector from the positions of its achievements in the previous four years. This structure is analyzed from the points of principles which characterize all kinds of systems and from the points of known approaches to modeling just the economic systems: distributing the innovations by F. Bass and E. Rogers, combinations of managing acts by I. Adizes and the economic tetra-­structures by G.B. Kleiner. In the exploration we found the areas where these approaches cross with each other. And this is the base for the integrated view on the structure of Russian machine and tool industry, which formed as a start of realizing the new Strategy of its development. We come to conclusion that in the initial period of the Strategy’s being realized the explored economic sector receives the character of a system which has enough nomenclature of components from the points of all these three approaches. It forms the base for the progress in development of this system on the further stages of the life cycle of transformations in it. We further analyze the quantity indicators of some certain machine and tool industrial plants. These indicators characterize connections between using intangible products which belong to these plants and the economic effects of their production activities. In the case of each plant such quantity analyze proves the correctness of it’s including to one the groups depending from the success of using intangible products. It forms the base for the recommendations how to improve this work of Russian machine and tool industrial plants in future.
