RESEARCH OF METHODS FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INNOVATIONS IN THE FIELD OF SHIPBUILDING: A THEORETICAL ASPECT

Abstract

Evaluating the effectiveness of innovations in mechanical engineering is a complex task that requires multifactorial analysis and the use of specialized techniques. The urgency of this problem is due to the high capital intensity of innovative projects in the industry, the long payback periods and the need to integrate new technologies into traditional production processes. In modern practice, various approaches are used to evaluate the effectiveness of innovations, including traditional financial methods such as calculating net discounted income, internal rate of return and payback period. The purpose of the article is to develop integral indicators that combine quantitative and qualitative assessment methods. Such indicators make it possible to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of innovations, taking into account technical, economic, social and environmental aspects. The authors conclude that the results of evaluating the effectiveness of innovations serve as the basis for making strategic decisions in the field of technological development, determining investment priorities, and developing programs to modernize production processes in mechanical engineering.
