The quadruple helix model as a tool for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Republic of Kazakhstan
The application of the concept of the quadruple helix as a tool for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Republic of Kazakhstan is justified. The approach under consideration is aimed at activating the network interactions of the business-state-science-civil society components to create an evolutionary, smart, sustainable entrepreneurship, the growth of the economy of the regions and the country as a whole. The necessity of increasing the production of innovative products, taking into account the maximum interaction of all components of network interactions, is proved. The assessment and classification of regions by the level of production of the gross regional product using ABC analysis is carried out. The specialization of SMEs for single-industry regions is proposed. The stages of implementing smart specialization for SMEs have been developed. The directions for the further development of SMEs in the Republic of Kazakhstan are presented.
