Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study conducted by the author in association with the Russian Innovation Bureau “Expert”. The study was aimed at identifying key factors determining the commercial success of innovative initiatives in the Russian context and their quantitative assessment.Scoring modelling is an internationally proven tool enabling objective evaluation of the capability to obtain a desired implication of an innovative project. However Russian practice still lacks such tools so the presented study is one of the first attempts in this regard.The research has covered a sample of innovative projects implemented by Russian companies from various sectors of the economy. It became the basis for creation of scoring models allowing predicting commercial success of innovative projects in Russia.
