INNOVATIVENESS AS THE BASIC CHARACTERISTIC OF INTERDISCIPLINARY ECONOMICS
Abstract
The 21st century is characterized by the strong development of links between individuals, communities and countries in a global dimension. Information and communication technologies allow us to build up communication and receive information in huge quantities. This global awareness creates a situation in which knowledge becomes accessible to everyone. As a result, there is a significant stratification and a gap between developed and transitive countries. Today we can talk about different attitudes towards science and innovation in different countries. Information gaps are widespread phenomena, therefore it is often difficult to find out what exactly leads countries and their population to prosperity. Next in the paper, we will provide statements that will allow us to explain the role of interdisciplinary economics in a development of innovation. One can say that applying an interdisciplinary approach to economics can improve the performance of the national innovation system in general. Modern generations faced with the problem of excessive volumes of information, management of "scattered" knowledge and its systematization could mean finding the right path to solving of most problems. Rejection of economics isolation, even more: effective cooperation with other branches of knowledge creates numerous opportunities for the development of a country. Looking ahead, let's say that one can create a general vision that will be characterized by encyclopedic and holistic knowledge, so you can see the place of economics among other sciences and find productive forms of interaction. The specification of the connections that economics has with other scientific disciplines can lead to a better understanding of economics itself. Therefore, knowledge management and application of economic knowledge will be more productive, that will increase the innovation of the economic science itself. However, we want to focus on a part of the work that can be done by economics in interdisciplinary studies, using different backgrounds.
