The analysis covers the dynamics of the number of specialists performing R&D by scientific field and in selected disciplines, against the dynamics of R&D financing in Ukraine over the past 14 years. It's shown that apart from the strong (more than thrice) reduction in the total number, this period marked quite essential change in the structure of the R&D personnel in Ukraine. Social sciences proved to be the most demanded by the State, in view of the essential growth in absolute numbers of their researchers and their structural share. A positive dynamics could be secured by natural sciences, as the share of their researchers grew from 19% to 37%. However, it wouldn't be fair to say now that the Ukrainian science features prevalence of researchers in the engineering profile: while in 1995 they accounted for 72% of the total amount of researchers, in 2009 their share fell to 47%. The situation in humanities, although being quite alarming, seems to be somewhat less dramatic. Regarding the qualification structuring, the share of doctors of science has been up, in parallel with quite rapidly reducing share of candidates of sciences. The conclusion is made about irrelevance of the established qualitative and structural tendency to the innovation objectives, which requires comprehensive analysis and proper response from the State.

THE ROLE OF BANKS IN UTILIZATION OF THE EU FUNDS

The favorable economic policy can trigger positive reactions from the business entities resulting in increasing the level of investments (capital, technological, information as well as in knowledge) and economy competitiveness. The level of investments depends, among others, on accessibility of investment funding. In most cases, enterprises fund the developmental investments with own as well as external sources. Use of the EU funds in business development reduces the costs of investment considerably because it is possible to obtain up to 50% grant-in-aid after completing the modernization project. Enterprises must, however, fund the investment project first to be able to apply for reimbursement of a part of the developmental expenditures. Until that time they use the support of commercial banks, which take active part in programming and utilization of funds allocated for Poland. This paper shows the role of banks in utilization of the EU funds allocated for development of Polish enterprises.

Real estate leasing market has been functioning in Poland since 1997, it is a young service in development phase only. In recent years the value of real estate leasing has been significantly increasing. The 2007 year confirmed that Poland had become the area of big interest from institutions allocating its capital in real estate. In Poland leasing became popular form of financing shopping centers, storage areas, production halls and office buildings. Enterprise’s interest in financing real estate through leasing should still increase thanks to foreign investors inflow for whom this type of financing is very friendly. After investors, the banks will follow, for which investment financing through leasing is quite apparent.

Comparative analysis of key statistical indicators on science and technology performance in Ukraine and Russia in the post-Soviet period is made, with emphasis on the evolution of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Similar and distinctive features in the evolution of the two national science & technology systems and the two national academies are shown by use of statistical data on R&D capacity of GDP, research personnel, R&D financing, publication activity, patenting and licensing activity. Conclusions are made with respect to specifics of the dynamics and restructuring of personnel and financing sources at national and Academy level in the two countries. It is emphasized that while the two Academies could really work in spite of poor financial support, fleeing and ageing personnel, and could product excellent results with far smaller expenditures than analogous research teams in the West, political debate about 'transplanting' basic science from academies to universities looks quite odd, as mere 'transplantion' from one department to another one cannot produce anything but losses of the accumulated resources and capacities. Ambitious declarations about the innovation-driven development could only be implemented given the radical revision of decision-making on research funding in Russia and Ukraine alike. Recent measures to support large projects on nanotechnologies, stimuli for researchers' repatriation etc., taken by the Russian government inspire some optimism, whereas Ukrainian science has not enjoyed an additional support.

The paper contains analysis of factors suppressing the efficiency of targeted approach with respect to Ukrainian State Targeted Programs on Priority S&T Areas (by results of questioning program managers) and authors' propositions on amendments to the act of Ukraine 'On State Targeted Programs'. The term 'program' has been abused in Ukraine, the title 'program' being applied to any nomenclature of actions irrespective of their relation to the targeted approach, and, consequently, the number of programs in Ukraine, claiming for budgetary funding, has exceeded 200. A detailed account is given of the interview of 19 project managers (who are outstanding scientists), organized by the Center for S&T Potential and Science History Studies of the NAS of Ukraine. (Experts were asked about execution of the budgetary position to the effect of financing the Programs, and all the answers were negative; about the need to extend the mandate of project managers: to entitle managers to suspend/stop funding of a project of the Program, which is proved to be inefficient or not corresponding with the Program objectives, to entitle managers to reallocate funds between projects of the Program in order to have the Program objectives achieved as quicker as possible; about the need to have a reserve fund for each S&T Program. Also, experts expressed their own propositions on enhancing the programs efficiency). On the basis of expert information shortcomings of targeted approach in Ukraine are identified. Propositions on amendments to the Act of Ukraine 'On State Targeted Programs' are made on the basis of in-depth analysis of its selected chapters.

Lack of financing is an important obstacle for growth and development of small and medium-sized enterprises all over the Europe. This paper reveals the effect of the sovereign stress on the financing of small businesses from Euro area economies that have suffered most, denoted as stressed economies. The main finding is that 37% of the firms in the researched sample were either rejected on their loan application or their loan application was accepted but refused due to high costs. Also, the heterogeneity across firms plays a significant role when it comes to loan granting, older firms with higher turnover are less likely to be rejected on their loan application. The firms in the stressed countries are most likely to be refused in their bank loan application after the crisis unfolded and have a higher probability of not applying to a bank loan compared to the firms from the non-stressed economies.

Health care as a socio-economic category is currently undergoing a number of analytically remarkable changes. In countries like the Czech Republic, where in the past there was a universal health care paid from the government budget, we have seen in the last 20 years the development of differentiated forms of health care with special characteristics. This article aims to show changes in perception of health care as socio-economic category in the context of reforms of health systems. Attention is also paid to the international experience in financing schemes of standard and above standard health care and possible scenarios for future development. The article shows the development phases of health care and new problems that arose in this context.

The study addresses the problem of what factors should be accounted for in overcoming the R&D and innovation inertia in Ukraine. Detailed data on the science, technology and innovation performance in Ukraine are given, and major tendencies in these fields are outlined in comparison with other countries. The data show the increasing share of basic research in Ukraine, in parallel with the reducing share of applied research and development, and the increasing share of S&T services, especially internal (intra-firm) ones. The share of R&D performers in HEE and industrial companies is still small. This tendency has affected the innovation activity in Ukraine, which remains too low in terms of innovating enterprises and innovative products sales. As a result, the national industry becomes even more dependent on innovations from abroad, while national R&D staff has to seek for contracts from abroad. This leads to the inevitable loss of their intellectual property rights, importation of innovation products originating from Ukrainian developments etc. A major problem for Ukraine lies in commercialization and economic utilization of intellectual activities output with consideration to benefits of its generator, user (industry) and the state. The national innovation policy should focus on forms and methods for direct and indirect stimulation of S& T activities. Urgent solutions are required for utilization of the objects of intellectual property right.

In the 80s and 90s the accelerated development of technology caused several changes in most sciences, even in the field of business formations. The classical value chain transformed, the university science centres obtained a bigger focus and the role of research organisations is getting more and more important. New business form emerged and became popular: the academic spin-off firm. However, the spin-off companies are well-known and widely used ventures in the corporate business for a long time, especially at technology-oriented industries. For the time being, there is plenty of literature and completed surveys available regarding both academic and corporate spin-off. Some of them are engaged to reveal the critical success factors of spin-off companies and several models were created. The hypothetical question of this study whether common success factors do exist for both types of spin-off even if they are established in quite different environments. Using the relevant international literature and available public data of academic and corporate spin-off firms, six aspects were investigated: 'Raison d' etre', management, investment, networking, location and relation to intellectual property. As a result of this study, common success factors of spin-off companies having different origins could be identified.
