Theory and Practice of Management Decisions on Regional Cluster Policy Implementation

The authors focus on the problem of low level of technologization of management activities of public authorities in the implementation of cluster regional policy, which leads to the adoption of ineffective management decisions in supporting regional cluster initiatives. To solve the problem, the authors propose a developed algorithm for evaluating the economic and organizational factors of the formation of an industrial cluster in the region. As a result of factor analysis, authorities receive information on the objective possibility and subjective readiness of enterprises in a particular industry to cluster formation processes, as well as determine the type of cluster, its most optimal structure and organizational model. Practical testing of the developed algorithm is tested on the example of designing a territorial cluster of building materials in the Samara region, Russian Federation. The developed technology is of practical importance for making decisions on the allocation of state subsidies for the implementation of cluster initiatives in the region, as well as for the inclusion of cluster projects in the strategy of social and economic development of the territory.
