“…In the first case, the state becomes an initiator through financial support for their development. Such a viewpoint has been supported by some authors [94]; however, this policy is not always successful, as shown elsewhere [95]. In the second case, the clusters are developed by transnational companies together with regions.…”

The intensification of innovation processes in Russia is a challenging task that requires a continuous search for solutions to make possible the many required changes in economics. We consider the major factors needed to advance an innovative activity at all levels in the national economy to have a freely exchanged flow of innovative ideas between all actors involved. As practice shows, the currently existing models in the country to deal with open innovations are mostly based on a cluster development approach, which is still limited. The authors propose synergizing the cluster approach with an ecosystem innovation model, which should ensure an effective collaboration and an accelerated rate for the diffusion of innovations between various actors while involving various regions. The purpose of the study was to develop a conceptual model for implementing open proposals from participants in the innovation economy. The research methodology is based on numerous works in the field of open innovation theory, cluster and ecosystem approaches. The study utilizes empirical and dialectical methods of scientific knowledge. The methodological toolkit covers information processing with historical analysis, a literature review using the Russian Citation Index and Scopus databases, analysis and diagnostics of innovative activity in domestic regions, the comparison method, modeling and correlation analysis. We concluded that the interaction of participants in the Russian regions through implementing the cluster model is not sufficiently effective and requires the development of new methodological approaches. Therefore, we propose combining the cluster approach with the ecosystem innovation model, which should ensure an effective cooperation and accelerate the rate of innovation dissemination among various subjects involving several regions. To determine the approach’s efficiency, the proposed concept should be tested in one or more regions.

“…Moreover, cluster creation should not happen for political fashion`s sake, because a declaration about cluster creation doesn`t mean the organization of all conditions for its effective functioning. Actually, some clusters are just legal unions of separate companies without corresponding organizational content [1,6].…”

The Question of Construction Cluster Efficiency in Russian Regions

Abstract. This article is devoted to the questions of building complex clasterization in Russian regions. The correlation analysis between the existence of the formed building cluster in each region and the volume of construction works fulfilled during the period under review is being conducted on the basis of data about the development of Russian regions generalized by Federal state statistics service. The authors examine the volumes of construction works in leading regions from the position of clusterization features, describing and analyzing key efficiency problems of construction. The authors draw a conclusion that declared cluster creation is not always based on factual building complex clusterization. As result, current situation in Russian economy seems to be problematic: regions without legally formed clusters are, in fact, more clusterized then those with announced formation.

“…Cluster-related efforts can improve the efficiency of economic agents via reinforced cooperation between companies, universities and R&D organizations; or between SMEs and corporations; or between private companies and infrastructure units. These efforts can help attracting foreign direct investment and integrating national producers into the global high-tech markets [Kutsenko, 2012]. For example, during the implementation of pilot innovative clusters support program in Russia between 2013 and 2015, the cluster member export revenues on average are 20% higher that the regional average 6 .…”

Clusters have become a major element of innovation and industrial policies in many countries worldwide. Over the years, targeted cluster support programs have been designed and implemented, each featuring a variety of approaches to the selection of clusters, terms and prerequisites for funds allocation, the areas of support, etc. Such approaches have both the advantages and drawbacks, which leads to a conception of an 'ideal' support program mix that could consider the best practices and ignore some unsuccessful solutions.The working paper aims at suggesting such an 'ideal' approach to designing a cluster support program, based on the synchronization of the most effective elements of various such programs in Russia. Over the past decade, cluster policy has occupied an important position in the agenda of the Russian Government. Two federal Ministriesthe Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade initiated several cluster support programs for innovative and industrial clusters. Nowadays, there are more than 118 clusters in Russia, and over a half of them benefit from current public support measures -27 innovative clusters, 42 industrial and 12 leading clusters. The comparative analysis of federal support programs revealed several benefits and limitations in both approaches in terms of subsidy allocation principles, areas of support and cluster selection criteria. In particular, among the key advantages of innovative clusters programs are the focus on cluster management development, and identifying the strongest clusters through one-time selection procedure. The successful features of industrial clusters program are permanent application process, reduction of budget risk due to compensation principle of funding, and stimulation of cooperation through special requirements for joint projects. The major disadvantages of innovative cluster support programs are budget risks caused by advanced financing of cluster activities, and a lack of project focus; the probability to support low-quality projects and neglecting the issue of cluster management development are the key weaknesses within the industrial clusters program. The paper suggests a 'smart' synchronization of approaches to cluster support, which blends the best practices of different ministries.
