Information Provision as a Factor in the Formation of Enterprises’ Receptivity to Energy-Saving Technologies
摘要
Reducing the consumption of non-renewable energy resources requires increasing the level of receptivity of enterprises to energy-saving technologies (EST). At the same time, it is important to establish the most important factors that influence this receptivity. One of these factors can be information provision of the processes of development, implementation and use of energy-saving technologies at enterprises. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish the role played by information provision in the formation of enterprises’ receptivity to energy-saving technologies. The theoretical foundations of the formation of the enterprise’s receptivity to advanced technological processes (ATP) were developed. The main factors that determine this receptivity are identified, namely: the level of quality of information support for the processes of development, implementation and use of ATP; the level of provision of the processes of development, implementation and use of ATP with other types of resources, except for information; the level of competence of the company’s management; economic efficiency of ATP implementation at enterprises. A method of evaluating the impact of information support on the level of receptivity of enterprises to EST has been developed. Approbation of the developed method was carried out on the example of industrial enterprises of Ukraine. It was established that information provision has a significant impact on the receptivity of the studied enterprises to EST. In particular, with an increase of 0.01 in the general level of information provision, the level of receptivity of the studied companies to EST increases on average by the following values: for enterprises engaged in the production of construction materials—by 0.0032, for enterprises of the food industry—by 0.0035, for enterprises of the chemical industry—by 0.0029. At the same time, many of the studied enterprises have significant reserves for increasing their level of receptivity to advanced EST thanks to the improvement of information support for the processes of development, implementation and use of these technologies.
