Interpreting the Inequality of the State Support for Development of Small-Sized Business, Using the Means of Iterative Clustering

Abstract

The article is aimed at interpreting the inequality of the State support for development of small-sized business using the instruments of iterative cluster analysis and proving the need to take into view peculiarities of its management in different territories in order to achieve a balanced and equally intensive development of small-sized business with the participation of the State. The hypothesis about inequality of the State support for development of small-sized business in the territory of Ukraine is proposed, the proof of which presupposes evaluation of symmetry and intensity of the State support of development of small-sized business by the means of cluster analysis. The scientific novelty of this article is the construction of the algorithm of using the results of clustering in achieving the uniform State support for the small-sized business development in Ukraine, providing allocation of the permanent and variative components of the algorithm. The carried out clustering of the administrative-territorial units of Ukraine allowed to allocate the list of problem points and similarities in the State support of the small-sized business development.
