Methods of calculating the efficiency of clusters and possible modalities for their development

Abstract

The objective of the article is to analyze the method of calculating the efficiency of high-tech clusters and alternative models of their development. Method. The methodological basis of the study is a series of general and specific cognition methods. In the research process, the following were used: the formal-logical method, the system and the structural, comparative-legal, logical-legal and other scientific research methods. Results of the investigation. Four groups of efficiency indicators of the organizational and economic regulation mechanism of the administrative activity of a business cluster are defined. The difference between traditional industrial clusters and innovation clusters is considered. Examples of successful cluster operation in some countries around the world are studied. Practical meaning. It is emphasized that the efficiency of the cluster, and therefore its development, is significantly influenced by the availability of scientific potential and activity of research institutes, as well as access to non-reimbursable funds (institutions, agencies) and the operation of technology parks. Value / originality. It is observed that due to globalization, the role of clusters in competition is increasingly important. In this context, the forms of cluster development in Ukraine were proposed, as well as examples of successful clusters in Ukraine were considered.
