Abstract: The object of this research is the financial policy and indicators that characterize it. Financial policy certainly has a significant impact upon the actions of innovation actors along with other important factors: access to scientific and technological information, availability of highly skilled personnel, level of innovation infrastructure, status of development of domestic and foreign target markets, availability of domestic market for foreign investment, protection of the rights of investors, trusts of the manufacturers in national currency, absence of obstacles to starting a business, consumer preferences, etc. Using the method of graphical analysis, the author illustrates the dynamics of innovation behavior of the Belarusian companies in the context of changing the key financial indicators. The management of available resources in the company – accrual, savings, or investment into innovation development – would depend on the economic conditions established in the country. The conducted analysis allows concluding on interdependence between the financial results of the companies and their innovation activity, the amount of borrowings and innovation costs, as well as currency rates on the investment in innovation.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the process of development of software products for Automated Control Systems of industrial and special designation. The object of this research is the functional responsibilities of the software developers based on their roles in this process. The general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis were applied in studying the peculiarities of the development of software products. Leaning on analysis of the content of technical documentation standards that regulates the software development for automated systems of special designation and determines the content of the process and functions of its participants, the author synthesized the suggestions on clarification of the list of experts engaged in the process and their competences. The problem is articulated regarding the improvement of functional responsibilities of the participants of this process. It is proposed to specify the technical documentation standards, list of involved experts, and their training programs. Execution of such measures should help to bring the process of development of software products for Automated Control Systems in compliance with the current demands.
