Abstract

Within the framework of traditional economic approaches that incline the researcher's attention to the ordering of systems, it is difficult to track and adequately assess the turbulent changes in the environment in the conditions of transformation of almost all spheres of the economy. The way out of this cognitive trap is possible in applying the tools of the ecosystem approach, which considers economic relations within a set of ecosystems as extra-organizational, self-organized forms of conducting commercial and social (non-commercial) entrepreneurship. A hierarchy of models of innovative ecosystems is proposed for scientific and practical analysis of the phenomenon under consideration and for developing recommendations for the formation of necessary conditions for the development of ecosystem relations. The combinatorics of environmental factors and internal structure allows us to construct a significant set of ecosystem models.
