Public management of competence formation in the field of development of innovative public-private partnerships
Abstract
The article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of public management of competence formation in the field of development of innovative public-private partnerships (PPP).
The article clarifies the essence of innovative public-private partnerships as a form of public management of development, which is based on long-term interaction between the state and the private sector with the aim of jointly creating, implementing and disseminating innovations in the public sphere by integrating resources, competencies and risk sharing. The key differences between innovative PPPs and traditional ones are identified according to the criteria of purpose, object, level of risks, type of contracts and the role of the state.
The professional competencies required for managing innovative PPPs are systematized, covering managerial and strategic (project management, risk management, coordination), professional and technical (digital competence, knowledge of management theory and economics), and analytical and communicative competencies (monitoring, inter-sectoral interaction). The role of public administration in the formation of competencies, which is implemented through strategic, normative-regulatory, institutional, personnel-educational, coordination, motivational-stimulating and control functions, is substantiated. Public management of the formation of competencies in the field of innovative PPP development is proposed to be interpreted as a targeted, systemic and institutionally supported influence of public authorities on the development of professional, managerial, innovative and communicative capabilities of public sector entities to effectively initiate, implement and monitor innovative PPP projects in the context of socio-economic transformation. Public mechanisms for the formation of competencies are proposed, including institutional, personnel and educational, regulatory and legal, and innovative and digital measures.
As a direction for further research, a theoretical justification of the conceptual foundations of the national strategy for the development of competencies in the field of innovative PPPs is proposed.
