Subject The article addresses the concept of innovative capacity management system. Objectives The purpose of the study is to define the essence of the Innovative Capacity Management System category by refining the definitions of Innovative Capacity, Management System, and Innovative Capacity Management. Methods The results of scientific research contained in the publications of Russian and foreign scientists served as theoretical and methodological basis of the study. I employed systems and integrated approaches, methods of logical, structural, comparative, and categorical data analysis. Results I offer a classification of definitions of the innovative capacity concept based on two aspects. The paper presents two approaches: a resource-based approach, implying that the management of innovative capacity is primarily about efficient use of resources, and a condition-forming approach, which focuses on the management of innovative capacity as a way to establish conditions for creating, developing and promoting innovation, as well as for conducting a targeted innovation policy at the enterprise. Conclusions The proposed approaches can be used for formulating own definitions depending on the purpose of the study, and for developing a theoretical basis in determining the factors affecting the management system of innovative capacity.
