ANNOTATION

Transfer of technology is one of the most important components of an innovation-oriented enterprise development. The purpose of the article is to determine the place of technology transfer in the innovation-oriented development of an industrial enterprise. The existing approaches to interpreting of the economic concept of «technology transfer» have differences in the definition of its essence and forms. Basing on the analysis of the essence of technology transfer, the work defines its functions as a process. According to the international ratings, including the Global Competitiveness Index (IGC) and the Global Innovation Index (GII), and INSEAD Business School, the work determines the level of involvement of Ukrainian enterprises in the process of transfer of technology. The Global Index of innovation combines assessment of available resources and conditions for introduction of innovation (Innovation Input) and achieved results(Innovation Output). The Index marks low international rating of domestic industrial enterprises according to all technological development indicators, i.e. the 38th position. The study of statistics and scientific literature identifies problems that impede ntegration of technology transfer processes at domestic industrial enterprises. The work proposes measures to increase efficiency of application of the technology transfer in the activity of modern enterprises in Ukraine. Transfer of technology, as a component of innovation-oriented enterprise development, is the free dissemination of a technology with the use of any information between industrial enterprises in order to enhance innovation-oriented development and improve innovation strategy. However, technology transfer cannot be considered as a universal solution to the problem of financing and even as a source of significant revenue. Technology transfer enables enterprises and the total society to develop towards innovations, and to commercialize research results.
