On Managing the Growth of Russian Industry amid the Transition to a Supply-Side Economy

Abstract

The transition to a supply-side economy requires a qualitative transformation of the industrial growth management system. The aim of the study is to identify and systematize gaps — including deficiencies, discontinuities, and inconsistencies — in government regulation that impede balanced industrial development in Russia. The methodological framework comprises a systems approach and institutional analysis. The empirical basis consists of data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), analytical materials of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, and regulatory and legal acts issued between 2008 and 2026. The authors demonstrate that the key imbalances in the management of industrial growth — low innovation activity, the concentration of innovation potential in the research sector, and critical dependence on imported equipment — result from institutional, coordination, and regulatory-target- setting gaps. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systematization of these gaps in the context of the transition to a supply-side economy. The findings may be useful both to public authorities in adjusting industrial and science and technology policies and to researchers whose academic interests focus on industrial development management.
