Conceptual Approach to Essence of the System of Innovation Space Control in Macro-Region

The article deals with identification and comprehension of the approach to innovation space control of enlarged territory. Innovation space control in macro-region is described as a set of principles and mechanisms governing links and relations between entities involved in innovation activity in the enlarged territory in order to intensify innovation activity and obtain synergy effect. The approach advanced in the article is based on the concept of innovation rapprochement, the idea of which can be brought to identifying such a key feature of the macro-region as intensification of links between local innovation spaces included in this territory. The article shows the essence of the system of innovation space control of the macro-region, whose specific characteristic is inserting the block of innovation space control quality. It was found out that the system of traditional parameters necessary to estimate innovation development of the macro-region shall be supplemented by two specific indicators: convergence and superposition. Convergence means the availability of mutual impact and mutual penetration of innovation activity components that make up the macro-region of territories. Superposition reveals identical content and structure of the process of shaping, realizing and proliferating components and results of innovation activity. It was demonstrated that assessing the result of control mechanism impact shall be done in two directions: appraisal of the innovation product and quality of innovation space control.
