In the context of modern conditions for the formation of an “innovative” type of economy, the dominant role of innovation as a factor of economic development and growth of competitiveness is emphasized. However, the terminological diversity present in the scientific environment limits the formation of a unified system of concepts and definitions, which characterizes the relevance of this research. The purpose of this study was to analyze and systematize approaches to defining a number of main categories of innovation theory, as well as to identify the relationship between them. The authors of the article analyzed data on the publication activity of domestic authors for the corresponding works registered in the scientific electronic library elibrary.ru. Results were obtained indicating an explosive growth of publications on innovation in the period 2002—2005 compared to the period 1998—2001: the growth of publications on the request “innovation” was more than 900 %; on the request “innovation” — more than 400 %; on the request “innovation activity” — 700 %. The features of the oil and gas industry are revealed, where innovations play a key role in improving the efficiency of production and processing of hydrocarbons, supporting exploration and ensuring effective decommissioning. The author introduces the concept of “innovative activity”, the essence of which is to assess the level and nature of innovative activity of the enterprise. It is determined that there is a relationship between innovation potential and innovation activity, characterized by a tendency to lack of connection between resources and results, on the one hand, and innovation activity, on the other. The theoretical and practical significance of this research is to enrich the theoretical and practical tools of innovation theory.
