For Russian reality the implementation of the tools of strategic innovation management, sustainable development, and entrepreneurship is highly important.

In this article we specify our understanding of innovation-based scenario of economic development where innovations are directly associated to the sustainability that moves from exploitation to exploration, from corporate environmental management to sustainable entrepreneurship, and from efficiency to innovation. We indicate the need for radical innovation via entrepreneurial start-ups or new ventures connected to science and educational institutions within existing corporations.
