DEVELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES
& SUPPORT FOR STABLE DEVELOPMENT
In Kazakhstan, the "Strategy of Industrial & Innovation Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2003-2015" provides for
creation of conditions for the development of: innovation and high-tech and science intensive industries in the medium and small-scale business due to the acquisition of equipment and
technologies by leasing, the franchising relations becoming wide spread, and the cooperation of the small-scale business
with large-scale enterprises. To activate a real innovation process, the
Program of Formation
and Development of the National Innovation System for 2005-2015 is being realized by the R.K. Government [1].
The National Innovation
System is subdivided into the following four subsystems:
1) Scientific potential,
2) Innovation business,
3) Multilevel innovation infrastructure. This is a system consisting of interrelated
production, - consulting, - educational and information structures that provide
and ensure conditions to realize innovation activities. The innovation infrastructure
includes the following elements: national and regional technoparks, business incubators,
venture funds etc.
4) Financial infrastructure – a subsystem intended for a complex financing
of research-and-production and educational processes in the field of innovation
and technological development. It is based on the combination of different mechanisms
of direct and indirect state support of innovation business and infrastructure.
The Program of Formation and Development of the National
Innovation System lays emphasis not just on the acquisition of equipment and
the transfer of advanced technologies from abroad, but on the production
application of domestic developments first of all. Thus, appropriate measures to
increase the efficiency of training of technicians in domestic and foreign
research institutes and institutes of higher education are being taken in the
Republic.
The analysis of the world practice proves that the national innovation systems
have as a rule, a number of specific characteristics peculiar to the national
institutions, the features of historical development, and the transformation
and the self-organization of national systems under the state control. The control
is intended for a further development of the regulatory basis and the matching
of it with new conditions of such development, and for the formation and
improvement of the mechanisms of financing and stimulation of innovation
processes, and the adaptation of institutional structures to the changing
conditions. The important line of development of the National Innovation system
is to form the so-called network economy. The basis of such economy is transnational
corporations and small venture firms serving such corporations. And the state support
of the small innovation business promotes the said transnational corporations.
The matters of formation of the national
innovation systems infrastructure are developed in many researches.
Let’s consider the experience of Russia included in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) group. Three stages can be mentioned in creating a national research & innovation complex in Russia. [2, p.p.18-20].
The first stage (1992–1996) consisted
in forming the regulatory basis of science and mechanisms of adaptation of
science to the market conditions. During the initial period of market changes owning
to the collapse of financing, urgent measures were taken to preserve the major constituents
of the scientific and technical complex, first of all, of the abstract science.
At the same time, it was necessary to provide a basis of market mechanisms for
distribution of budgetary funds. The main normative document was the law of
science and the state scientific and technical policy.
The second stage (1997–2000) was connected with the development of a
concept and a plan of reformation of the Russian science. The basic work in
that field was carried out in 1997 and was related to the stabilization of
economy and a substantial increase in the financing of science. The concept set
forth views on the reformation of the scientific and technical sphere. The plan
was actually frustrated owing to the crisis of 1998, but is basic approaches
were preserved in the developed Fundamentals
of the R.F. Policy for development of science and technologies as approved by
the R.F. President on March 30, 2002.
The third stage of the said reformation (since 2000 until now) may be characterized as transfer from the phase of survival to that of development. At this period, measures are being taken to prepare normative documents that determine development of the whole research & innovation complex including both scientific and innovation components. A perspective model of the state sector of science has been formed including organizations of public academies of sciences, reformed public research centres built by the principle of head branch institutes, research and planning organizations and design bureaus for double and special purpose, scientific organizations controlling the performance of particular functions imposed on the federal bodies of executive power, and scientific organizations within the institutes of higher education. A Strategy for development of science and innovations in the Russian Federation until 2015 has been approved where the main system problem of the Russian sector of research and developments is emphasized arising out of the fact that its rate of growth and structure do not meet the needs of the society, the national security and the rising demand on the part of the business/enterprise sector for advanced technologies. The purpose of the strategy has become formation of a balanced sector of research and developments and an effective innovation system that ensure technological modernization of economy and an increase in its competitiveness. The strategy of development of the Russian scientific and innovation complex is determined by a number of factors having a national economic importance and set forth, first of all, in the concept for a long-term social and economic development of the country where a combination of the Russia’s advantages as an energy power with a transfer to the innovation type of development is underlined. To solve the set tasks, one should:
- To build a management system
for the scientific and innovation complex adequate to the market conditions
subject to the Russian specificity;
- To form infrastructure of
innovation activities and mechanisms of the state support of innovations;
- To develop methods of distribution
of exclusive rights to research and developments subject to the acceptance of
the fourth part of the R.F. Civil Code;
- To make effective approaches
to the stimulation of innovation activities and the transfer of technologies;
- To form and put into practice
a training model for managers and specialists for the applied scientific and
technical and innovation activities, which adequate to the market needs;
- To build a multilevel system
of training and generation of inclination to the innovation activities (infant
schools → school → institute of higher education → occupational
refresher).
The similar but more difficult (as
regards realization) tasks should be also solved by Kazakhstan. So, we should draw
up a section of the Civil Code devoted to the matters of research activities (for
stimulation of innovation activities). The generalization of the world and domestic
experiences in creating the infrastructure allows us to judge on the
perspective use of mechanisms of the public-private partnership.
The main point of our proposal is to use the said mechanism of the public-private
partnership in the innovation sphere within the national innovation system. Here it is important to make a proper choice since
each form of such partnership has its advantages and disadvantages (see Table 1).
There has been no uniform interpretation of the public-private partnership in the
innovation sphere in the Kazakhstan legal system until now, and its official
definition is not available in the statutory acts.

We propose the following definition:
public-private
partnership in the innovation sphere is a peer partnership of legal and natural persons in the state and
private sectors of economy on the mutually beneficial contractual terms to
solve the key innovation objectives of the society.
The choice
of a form of the public-private partnership
depends on the purposes pursued under a particular project and on the
distribution of responsibility as per the duties of ownership, operation, risk
and investments. The table 2 systematize forms of the public-private partnership subject to these duties.

We have determined above that the
key factor of economic growth is human capital.
According to the level of development of the human capital, Kazakhstan is
referred to the average-developed countries holding 79th place by
the world rating with IHDP (Index of
human development and potential) equal
to 0,774 [4, p.284]. The qualitative composition of the R.K. population is
characterized by highly qualified labour resources represented by research
fellows and instructors of institutes of higher education. There are also cadres
of the top and medium structural units in the industry, the sphere of the state
control and private companies. We have succeeded in the preservation of the scientific
and technical potential by organizing national scientific centres and providing
the state support to the academy of sciences and higher education. This
potential is a creator of high tech and science intensive industries. For the time
being, the scientific and technical sphere lags in the transfer to the market
basis, though there are necessary conditions: a legislative basis is created, necessary
program documents are drawn up and an appropriate legislative basis is
developed. Thus, the "Concept for integration of research institutions and
institutes of higher education with science intensive industries" provides
for the creation of an applied sector of science existing on the basis of the
laws of market economy, and the creation of "point" centres of science
intensive industries of the fifth process structure [5].
However, these science intensive
industries of the fifth process structure have not been created until now. Even
in Almaty where about 45% of the total intellectual potential of the country
are concentrated, contribution of the fourth process structure does not exceed,
according to the most optimistic estimations, 25-35%, and the third structure
dominates – about 50-60%, which contribution remains at the level of 5-10%. The fifth process structure is generated with difficulty.
On account of the
incompleteness of the reproduction contour, science intensive products of this
structure are manufactured in single pieces of low quality and for a high cost
[6]. In those regions, where there is no scientific and technical potential,
matters stand worse. Though also here one may act by establishing particular
science intensive enterprises – branches and subdivisions of the R.K. national
scientific centres. Then, based on them, one can form clusters.
The cluster approach can
radically change the content of the industrial policy, as here a traditional
division into branches fails.
The Kazakhstan model of education is
being developed according to the "State Program of Development of
Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2005-2010". Subject to Art. 12 of the R.K. Law "Of
Education in the Republic of Kazakhstan", the following multilevel
structure of education is in force:
- preschool education and teaching,
- elementary education,
- basic secondary education,
- secondary education (general secondary education, technical
and vocational education),
- post - secondary education,
- higher education,
- post -
graduate education
[7].
Adults are taught by educational institutions, and also
by legal entities having structural subdivisions that realize additional
educational programs. There are different ways of the obtaining of higher education
– full-time courses, instruction by correspondence and evening courses as well
as remote course and external studies. Educational institutions of the R.K.
higher education system are divided into three types: classical university, specialized
university or academy as well as institutes referred to the institutes of
higher education of a university type.
One of the functions of
the credit system of education is to apply an interstate quality assurance system
for educations services as the system is one of the basic elements of the Bologna
Process. In the world practice, to recognize educational programs (curriculums)
of institutes of higher education, they should be certified for the quality of services rendered. In Kazakhstan,
internal and external assessments of the quality of education are being applied; standardized assessment means and
instruments are improved that determine a level of the progress of students; organizational
structures are set up. The system of the state grants and credits gives
positive results: admission of entrants has turned to be protected from
corruption.
The following two problems are underlined in the system of higher
education:
- Disbalance of the manpower training structure in the context of
specialities. As a result, there is an excess of specialists of liberal
education and a lack of technical ones;
- Low quality of training of specialists owing to the ineffective state
control.
Economics and law are the basic directions of education in private
institutes of higher education.
In case
of a low
population and an
average birth rate, the health
of people is
of great importance for the
economic growth. Unfortunately, the state of the health protection in Kazakhstan leaves much
to be desired, the same being not able to
fully ensure that the health of people is protected, maintained and
recovered, and the population is reproduced. The birth rate acquired a positive
tendency only in 2002- 227117 infants,
and in â 2005 – 278977 (â 2001 – 221487) [8, p.202].
The regulatory basis of the R.K. health protection
system includes the Laws "Of Health Protection in the Republic of Kazakhstan"
of May 19, 1997, "Of Health Protection System" of July 4, 2003, the "State
Program of Reformation and Development of Public Health in the Republic of Kazakhstan
for 2005-2010" of September 13, 2004 [9-11]. To realize
State Program of Reformation and Development of Public Health in the Republic of
Kazakhstan for 2005-2010, target transfers are provided for. The problem is not in developing such transfers. And failure to
develop so is allowed to the largest extent as related to the current target
transfers allocated for provision of particular categories of citizens with
medicines on preferential terms, who are treated as out-patients.
At the Alma-Ata Conference of the
WHO in 1978, the first medical aid system in the USSSR was acknowledged as the
most thought-out one and was recommended to all countries for implementation.
At that time Kazakhstan held the first place worldwide in the number of doctors
per one inhabitant (40,0 per 10 000 persons). Even in 1996, the index was 35,3
doctors per 10 000 persons, which was higher than the similar indices in Great
Britain (25,9) and the U.S.A. (28,8). During the years of the crisis, there was
a tendency of reduction in the number of doctors, which was 33,9 doctors per 10
000 persons in 1999. That circumstance was explained as an approach to the
world standards. Then, after the occurrence of the private sector in the Public
Health, there has been a growth since 2000. Provision of all specialities with doctors
was 55,5 doctors per 10000 persons in 2005 – 55,5 [12, p.82].
Now
Íûíå
the first medical aid system
is the basis of the WHO’s Strategy "Health to everybody" and the main instrument in
reforming national health protection systems. Many countries applying the
principles of the first medical aid system have
succeeded much in health protection. According to the WHO’s experts, up to 90% of the population in the advanced
countries are mainly treated in the institutions of the first medical aid system.
Development of the first medical aid system is expressed by the increase in the network of such institutions
of the first medical aid system.
More attention is paid to the rural
health protection now. A clear relation is seen between the health of the rural
population and the economic growth in the agriculture. Earlier rural inhabitants
were given medical aid as occupational medical examinations once a year. The lack
of prospects, low wages and bad living conditions derive doctors of any
motivation to work in the countryside. In the course of optimization, a
majority of rural medical institutions were reduced, and a part of them was
reorganized into the rural ambulance stations and medical assistant’s and obstetrician’s
stations. The situation threatened to the national security of the country [13,
c.13].
In the "National Report on the
Human Development for 2005" the two important factors were underlined that
threatened to the stable human development in the country. They were related to
the following changes in the structure of economy:
1) Almost a fivefold reduction of the
share of agriculture in the GDP, as related to 1990, affects the capabilities of
development of agricultural regions that requires further measures for
development of the agricultural food complex of the country, and of the
production and social infrastructure in the countryside;
2) The increase in the raw material direction
of economy of Kazakhstan threatens the economic security and prevents a stable
economic development of the country. A level of expenses for education and health
protection in percentage to the GDP is 1,5–2 times lower than that of 1991 and
of the level available in the advanced countries and a number of countries of transition
economy, that sets a task of a further increase in the expenses of the state
budget for these two major spheres of the human development [14, p.29].
We think that by 2030, IHDP (Index of human development and
potential) of Kazakhstan shall be
lead up to the level of 0,96-0,97. At present, Norway and Iceland have such level
holding the first and second places in the rating made by the program of
development of the organisation of the incorporated nations. For this purpose, investments
are required in the TCP (the target complex program) of the social sphere (education,
public health, preservation of the environment and others).
The scientific and technical potential is important
for the industrial and innovation development. The scientific and technical potential
includes many components: research-and-production infrastructure, volumes of
financing of research engineering, quantitative and qualitative cadre potential
of science and many others. In 2008 the science of Kazakhstan consisted of 421
organizations. The number of such organizations
increased mainly due to the establishment of small enterprises. At the same time,
a number of organizations in the scientific and technical sphere reduced a
scope of research to a large extent, and some organizations suspended their
scientific activities completely (table 3) [15, p.458]. The number of employees
performing scientific research was 16304 persons at the end of 2008. The cadre potential id concentrated in the
institutes of higher education, the national research centres and academic institutes.
For the last five years, there is a stable tendency of the increase in the
number of those, who are involved in research, mainly in the non-state sector.
The basic provisions of the concept for the increase
in efficiency of the use of human capital under the conditions of the
industrial and innovation development are drawn up in [16, p.307-325] as
follows:
- Development of a human being as a purpose and means,
- Social and political stability,
- Stable economic growth based on the innovation changes, the ecologically
safe nature management, and the entering the world economic system.
Under the conditions of the global competiveness, countries modify their
man power continuously. The main requirement is to redistribute resources to the
human capital improvement programs. Kazakhstan exports natural raw materials,
and that requires no high qualification of employees. To develop the human
capital, a set and a structure of incentives are of importance, with which
manufacturers and consumers deal. In the market economy, such incentives may be
described by means of prices. However, the prices are only a part of the
incentive structure. Besides, such barriers are of importance as exclude
participation in some markets and cases of economic activity without any
intermediation and an explicit assessment (for example, work of housewives
producing goods and services not estimated).

Nonprice aspects of the incentive system are of great importance. It is important
because the existing incentive structure in Kazakhstan is accented to the
objective of reception of investments for minimum interest, and it allows for the
human development badly. So, here there are reserves for the increase in the
efficiency of the human capital as well. Generally, at the level of the country,
the efficiency of the human capital will increase if a highly skilled labour is
remunerated failrly. Discrimination restricts a labour market, and it reserves well-paid
and desirable work for the privileged minority and restricts some groups within
the low-paid and undesirable work. Discrimination restricts a choice and
possibilities. The incentive structure leads simultaneously to the ineffective
use of labour and the unequal distribution of income. The greater part of manpower,
especially in small towns and villages, has to seek means of subsistence, sometimes
without remuneration. Thus, radical changes
in the optimization of the ways of the state budget redistribution are
required. Expenses for education, health, and occupational safety shall be
considered as means of the human capital development. All this is impossible without
the active participation of the state, the civil society and the people
themselves. The state must increase the amounts of investments for research, education,
health and ecology This can be achieved due to:
- The reduction of investment programs that make no contribution to the
human development;
- The redistribution of budget funds in favour of the programs covering
the maximum number of people;
- The uniform distribution of resources per large groups of the
population, instead of their concentration in small ones that will result in
the higher rate of return of the invested costs in future;
- The refusal of a complex and expensive social security system peculiar
to the advanced countries, as in Kazakhstan it is oriented mainly towards the
urban population and is to the benefit of the urban elite, i.e. it may be not
justified within the concept of the human capital development human potential development;
- The proper monitoring of an idea of selectivity in social expenditure
in favour of the concept of the human capital development human potential development.
Formation of a contingent of the highly skilled manpower is connected
with the mastering of knowledge of nanotechnologies. At the same time, one should
remember the role of universities in the preparation of highly qualified
instructors for primary and secondary education.
Development of electronic education on the Internet basis provides for
large educational capabilities. Therefore, the Internet is indispensable in the
rural remote place. The electronic education strategy, its formats, curriculums
and certification documents promotes a further employment of graduates and
development of villages. At the same time,
the electronic education increases the inequality of opportunities, since it
can be available not to everybody [19, p.p.211-216.] In this respect, one should
use remote education within reasonable limits and, since it does not provide
for the presence of students, it should be deemed to be a sort of the instruction
by correspondence. One must develop internet education standards, and make
available free internet to the backward regions and the unemployed.
The rate of return of educational investments is attractive as benefits
are high and costs are low. In the public health, an accent should be from the
hospitals to the first medical aid programs, from the therapeutic medicine to
the preventive one. The budget redistribution to the primary public health and
education influences positively on each other. Financing from the budget
usually provides no proper level of the human capital development. It should be
combined with the use of internal reserves.
The state ensures that the human capital
is developed using organizational and economic mechanisms. As as is well known,
the state is a system of governmental, quasigovernmental and nongovernmental
organizations that regulate activities of the society. All political, economic and
legal actions of the state – budget, - regional, - tax, - scientific &
technological, monetary and credit, - and demographic policies and so on – impart
the human capital. The problem consists in determining a scope of intervention
by the state in the human capital development.
To quantitatively determine the role
of the state in the control of economic growth is impossible. The need in the re-comprehension
of the role of the state and its functions in the context of the human capital
development is still urgent. As proof of it, there is a report of the World
Bank specially devoted to the role of the state in the world development [20]. The
World Bank has changed its opinion about the role of the state per the two
positions: development without the support of the state and an auxiliary role
of the state. They are close to each other and supplement each other. The state
creates public goods. These goods are conventionally divided into the following
three groups. The first group includes creation and matching a new order, which
provides the operation of the national economy in combination with the
formation of the civil society. The objective of the second group is to create material
and cultural preconditions for a stable economic growth by developing economic
and social infrastructure – transport, communications, education, science, and
public health. The objective of the third group is to replenish shortages of
the market mechanism. An increase in the
role of the state can be expressed by the following four measurements and
processes: differentiation of its functions, integration of the society by the
state, institutionalization of power and universalization of the state as a
supreme form of organization of societies on a global scale [16, p.p.323-324].
At present, reformation of the
processes of the state control of the human development is based on the
participation concept where the right to such participation is one of the basic
human rights set forth in the "General
Declaration of Human Rights" (Art.21, Part1). The involvement of citizens
in the process of the state control is especially important, where decisions
concern the compliance with the human rights and freedoms. A peer dialogue between
the population and the state is a form of control by the population of
activities of governmental bodies. Thus, participation of the population in
such control is an important detail of the development.
The Kazakhstan
research-and-production associations the non-governmental organisations ñarry on their activities guided by
the experience of foreign ones that can be explained by the lack of traditions
of functioning of public organizations. Such research-and-production associations
the non-governmental organisations unites the most active part of the population
with a higher level, of education. Economic problems are dealt with by approximately
15% of all research-and-production
associations the non-governmental organisations; remedial ones
– by 8%; problems of gender inequality and those of children and youth – by 14%;
medical ones, and those in the sphere of culture, arts, science and education –
by 13%; problems associated with social support and invalids – by 7%; those of
support of social initiatives – by 6%. Such distribution strikingly differs from
the U.S.A. where 25% of research-and-production
associations the non-governmental organisations operate in the
sphere of social service provision, 19% – public health, 14% – culture, 12% – charity,
10% – assistance and development, 9% – religious activity, 6% – education, 5% –
conservancy [21, p.46]. The level of development of the civil society is
evaluated by the two basic indices: à) membership
in trade unions, á) the
number of nongovernmental organizations. The first index is determined in
percentage to the total number of manpower in non-agricultural sectors. In
Sweden it is 77%, in Iceland – 71%, in Finland - 60%, in China – 55%, in
Hungary – 52%, in Slovakia – 52%. The maximum number of research-and-production
associations the non-governmental organisations are in France – 3551, in
Germany – 3505, then in the United Kingdom – 3388, in Italy – 3257, in the
Netherlands – 3203, in Spain – 3116. In the U.S.A the number of them is 2685, in
Japan – 2122. In the C.I.S countries, such number is much lower: in Belarus –
474, in the Russian Federation – 1752, in Kazakhstan – 274, in the Ukraine –
890, in Kyrghystan – 130. The minimum number
is in Iran, Eritrea and the Maldives [22].
The increase in the human capital level shall become a strategic
direction of activities conducted by research-and-production associations the
non-governmental organisations. To fully use the human factor, it is desirable
to use the experienced of Russia. In the Russian Federation this factor is
realized as "national projects". The main point of such national
projects is to create a modern and effective human development system. The following two groups
of arrangements may
be mentioned in
the national projects.
On the one hand, allocation of additional budget resources
to increase labour remuneration to the employees of the respective branches and
implementation of structural reforms in the respective sectors, on the other
hand. The two said groups cannot be separated from each other: it is
politically risky and economically ineffective to solve one task ignoring the
other. However,
the risks that
events will develop
just so, are
rather substantial. The increase in the salaries of doctors and teachers, investments and
equipment, and other budget decisions are the necessary but insufficient
condition of the implementation of a national project. It is undesirable that the
social sector reform completes by the increase in the budget expenditure, that
is to say, the first step turns to be the last one. Moreover, the increase in
financing without structural reforms is fraught with negative results. A higher
salary will lead not to the renewal of personnel but to the cadre conservation.
To prevent that, one should activate
efforts to carry out the structural reform of the social sphere. The principal criteria,
according to which the actions of the government in any country can be
evaluated, are as follows: economic
growth and increase in the living standard of the population.
Thus, the analysis of world practice testifies that national innovative
systems, as a rule, possess a number of the specific characteristics inherent
in national institutes, features of historical development, transformation and
self-organising of national systems under control of the state. Management is
directed on perfection of is standard-legal base and its reduction to
conformity with new conditions of development, formation and perfection of mechanisms
of financing and stimulation of innovative processes, adaptation èíñòèòóöèîíàëüíûõ structures to varying conditions.
The important direction of development ÍÈÑ is formation of so-called network economy. A
basis of such economy are the multinational corporation and the small venture
firms serving these corporations. Thus the state support of small innovative
business gives multinational corporation support. Problems of working out of
innovative activity are actual and for Kazakhstan. Key problem for realisation
of the given policy is research of questions of perspectivity of use of
mechanisms of state-private partnership. The essence of the offer investigated
by us consists in use of the mechanism of state-private partnership in
innovative sphere, as a part of national innovative system. It is necessary to
make a correct choice since each form of partnership has advantages and lacks.
In the Kazakhstan legal system till now there was no uniform understanding
state-private partnership in innovative sphere, and its official definition in
statutory acts is absent. Us following definition is offered: state-private
partnership in innovative sphere? This partnership equal in rights legal and
physical persons of the state and private sectors of economy on mutually
advantageous contractual conditions with a view of the decision of key
innovative problems of a society. Generalising the aforesaid, it is necessary
to note all-round use of the mechanism of state-private partnership in
innovative sphere, as a part of national innovative system. Reforming of
processes of a state administration by human development is based on the
participation concept, where the right to participation - one of fundamental
laws of the person. The system approach to efficient control perfection the
human capital includes not only èíñòèòóöèîíàëüíóþ reform and reform of system of public service,
but also reorganisation of processes of development and realisation of the
decisions adequate to requirements of social development.
