Abstract

The development of the economy of Ukraine in modern conditions requires substantial strengthening of interconnection of the elements of innovation process through the establishment of institutional frameworks for large-scale structural and innovation transformation. This is especially topical for the coal industry as it feels the significant impact of institutional environment.The problems of the institutional environment of innovation development of coal enterprises are considered. They relate to: identifying and disclosing the components of institutional support of innovation development of the coal industry; clarifying the content of the institutional environment of innovation development of the coal industry; determining the directions of institutional support formation for innovation development of the coal industry; trend changes in the institutional environment of innovation development of industry in Ukraine taking into account industry specifics; conceptual positions of institutional support of innovation development of the coal industry; proposals on improving the organizational-economic mechanism of innovation development of coal production; systematization of factors of state regulation of innovation development of the coal industry based on market transformation processes in the economy of Ukraine. As to solve the problems of institutional support of innovation development of the coal industry in a great importance are the generalized approaches of scientific schools «economic security of industrial enterprise» according to classification features, external and internal factors that reduce the level of economic security, constituent elements of the institutional mechanism of economic security of industrial enterprise, consideration of the factors influencing the risks associated with the implementation of investment and innovation projects in the coal industry and measures to minimize their impact through the creation of innovation structures - technology parks. The recommendations on improving the regulatory and legal support of innovation development of the coal industry are given both in general and for the coal Donbas in current emergency situation. The coal industry enterprises should implement the institutionalization of their activity through the process of «investment» in different areas (human and productive capital, implementation of various social priorities, formation of the state policy of energy independence, etc.). To ensure the most positive outcomes of their social and industrial activity coal enterprises need to accumulate and efficiently manage not only the significant material, financial, intellectual, human, and other resources, but also to focus on maintaining a high level of capitalization based on the optimization of different sources of capital formation. The problem of technical and technological modernization of coal mines is extremely urgent for overcoming the unprofitability and improving the efficiency of the domestic coal industry. This issue is of a particular relevance now, when the recovery of the coal industry in Ukraine is significantly complicated by the need to overcome the consequences of the fighting in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
