A wide range of reasons can be identified for this, one of which is the historical background of the formation of industry in 70–80s. But it is important not only to understand that this area requires certain innovations, but also to evaluate the further creation of its development in order to improve the economic growth of the country as a whole. At the same time, the degree of influence of RandD in industry should not be underestimated. As concerns directly the prospects of the RandD sector of the national industry, it is determined by the following trends: insufficient implementation of RandD potential; - reduction of intellectual potential; increased labor intensity; institutional transformation, changing of the forms and specialization of the subjects performing the work. In this context, there is an objective need for modernizing management mechanisms to streamline complex interactions between production and research structures. This study evaluates the development of the RandD sector of industry in Russia.
