Developing technologically innovative industrial infrastructural facilities for their better efficiency: case study of technology parks in Russia

The article discusses an approach to forming a model for evaluating the efficiency of a typical technologically innovative industrial infrastructural facility using a nonparametric modelling. The study models and measures the efficiency of technologically innovative industrial infrastructure (case study of technology parks in Russia) by using a data envelope analysis (DEA) method. Facilities are identified as efficient or inefficient from the standpoint of the DEA methodology, and the evaluation results are compared with the results obtained in the Technopark National Ranking. The article also presents recommendations for making technologically innovative industrial infrastructural facilities more efficient in accordance with the results of the modelling; it substantiates the mechanism of ensuring the competitiveness of technologically innovative industrial infrastructural facilities of the same type, based on the technical efficiency achieved by a facility, as a result of solving an optimization problem using the shell data analysis method.
