Intellectual potential assessing methodology of an innovation-oriented enterprise

Abstract

We formed a theoretical and methodological platform for evaluating the intellectual potential of innovation-oriented enterprise employees. The fundamental principles of the technology for assessing this potential, which are based on the modern management paradigm, were highlighted. The analysis and evaluation of the intellectual potential of innovation-oriented enterprise employees was carried out on the basis of an expert method using mathematical and statistical tools to ensure the consistency of expert assessments, in particular the Kendall concordance coefficient and the Pearson consistency criterion. Our study developed scientific and methodological approach to assessing the level of innovation-oriented enterprise’s employees’ intellectual potential. The main difference between the methodologies was a multi-level assessment: at the professional level – expert assessment of professional qualification potential level significance, taking into account the consistency of expert opinions; at the creative level – expert assessment of creative potential level indicators significance, taking into account the consistency of expert opinions. As a result, taking into account the expert approach, an integral (taxonomic) index was calculated. In general, this makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of innovation-oriented management enterprises’ intellectual potential. The implementation of the proposed methodology makes it possible to solve the managerial problems of identifying potential abilities and opportunities (reserves) of employees, forming study groups, developing training programs, motivating employees to professional and intellectual achievements and demonstrating innovative activity.
