Mathematical Methods Applied to Manage Risks Associated with Innovative Activity of High-Tech Enterprises

Theoretical Foundations of Management of Risks Associated with Innovative Activity of High-Tech Enterprises
In the context of today’s unstable economic conditions, great attention is being paid to the study and adjustment of best international practices of risk management. The issue appears especially relevant for the countries that seek to move to the fore and boost their competitive capacity by developing high-tech innovative production, since competitive performance of any country is largely determined by the efficiency of high-tech industries creating innovative products with high added value. These products are commonly recognized for greater competitive edge which, more often than not, appears to be rather sustainable. Risk management has been a subject of research since the seventeenth century, but it was only in the mid-twentieth century that it established itself as one of the most important mechanisms of business management. This period of time was characterized by accelerating scientific and engineering progress, the development of high-tech industries, a significant increase in the scale of industrial activity, and a growing capital demand, which caused rapid development of financial markets and brought about new financial instruments (such as futures and the like). It was during this period that enterprises faced increasing risks and, thus, were forced to look for the ways to handle them. In this regard, the evolution of modern theoretical approaches to risk management (which is presented in Table 8.1) can be divided into two phases: – The “bottom-up” approach that had been applied since the 1970s up to the late 1990s – The “top-down” approach” that gained momentum in the twenty-first century
