Methodological dilemmas of studying of innovation ecosystem in cross-national perspective
The paper describes the methodological dilemmas of the study of innovation ecosystem with examples of cross-national study conducted in Russia and Japan. The methodology of studying innovation ecosystem of innovation actors on the enterprise level, region, country, cross-country are analyzed. As a result, the comparative analysis of cutting-edge approaches for studying innovations in cross-national perspective is conducted. An algorithm of qualitative research of actors of innovation ecosystem, which allows increasing stability of innovation in practical application is considered. The main problems of investigation of innovations from theoretical and practical points of view are described. As a result, the hybrid model for analysis of innovation ecosystem in the crossnational perspective is proposed
Keywords: innovation ecosystem, methods of innovation research, cross-national research, Russian innovation environment, Japanese innovation environment
