Abstract

The article studies a foreign language knowledge as a means of control in the processes of innovative management. The ability of organizations to continue training during the work process is closely connected with the processes of increasing the pace of innovation. The study is relevant due to the lack of published works identifying the ways of assessing the quality of the employee performance in a managerial position in the organization in the innovation process. The goal of this study is to analyze the level of English language proficiency by managers who hold upper-middle level positions in various fields of activity, since increasing the level of foreign language proficiency is a necessary element of the successful functioning of a modern leader. The prospects of applying foreign language knowledge are connected with improving the quality of research and development, increasing the production capacity of enterprises, and building up innovative potential.
