Summary

Abstract

The article focuses on the solution to an important research task—the formation of entrepreneurial competencies and identification of the motivational basis of a young entrepreneur. One of the conditions for the formation of a competitive economic system is to enhance the country's technological security. The key factor in ensuring the country's ability to develop lies in the transformation of science and technology within the modern educational organisation which faced the task not only and not so much to support the educational process as to form the entrepreneurial competencies of the student. This year the International Business Department of SPbSEU is occupied by the task of developing a methodology concept for technological entrepreneurship of the young people in Russia. The implementation of the model adopted at the department is based on the involvement of students into research activity with the aim of forming and introducing particular managerial processes. Our approach is adapted to suit the educational programmes of SPbSEU and provides a methodological basis for the formation of entrepreneurial competencies among students.

Introduction

One of the factors for the formation of a competitive economic system is to enhance the country's technological security. According to the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation the transformation of science and technology is a key factor in ensuring the country's ability to meet the big challenge effectively, that is to deal with the problems and threats that require state intervention, which is one of the main priorities formulated in the Strategy of National Security of Russia.

According to the RAS academician L. I. Abalkin, the technological component of national security is integral to the economic security of the state, however, the innovation potential of Russian science has practically no effect on the development of the domestic economy, since there is a problem of interaction between science and business, scientific achievements and real economy—innovations are not mastered by the economy to the extent that is necessary for the sustainable development of Russia. In science there is a shortage of specialists—managers in the field of commercialisation of innovations and integration of research results into the production process.
