Cluster Model of Organizing Logistics in the Region (On the Example of the Economic District «podillya»)

Abstract

The article analyses the dynamics of development indicators of the regional transport and logistics system of the economic region «Podillya». The barriers that hinder its effective functioning are identified and conditionally divided into 10 groups: political, institutional, investment-financial, infrastructural, logistical, tariff, customs, innovation, information, and environmental ones. It is proved that to eliminate these barriers it is advisable to develop a cluster model of logistics in the economic region, which means a conceptual approach that involves the creation and development of transport and logistics cluster as a mechanism for sustainable operation of the regional transport and logistics system. The cluster model includes the following blocks: a single set of logistics processes; members of the transport and logistics cluster that organize these processes; algorithm of cluster formation and functioning; organizational and economic mechanism of creation and development of transport and logistics cluster; mechanisms for forming partnerships between cluster members; achieving sustainable development of the transport and logistics cluster on the basis of stimulating the regions. Implementation of the cluster model of organizing logistics in the economic region will contribute to the synergetic (economic, social and environmental) effect.

Scientific Foundations in Economics and Management

“…Currently, an effective tool for the transformation of national economies is a clustering mechanism, which involves the development of concepts of cluster entities (e.g., transport and logistics [101][102][103][104][105][106], agricultural [107], eco-energy [108], IT [109])…”

Conceptual provisions of the transformation of the national energy system of Ukraine in the context of the European Green Deal

“…Thus, as a result of research (Nyenno et al 2020;Ivanov et al 2019;Kwilinski et al 2020;Liashenko et al 2021;Trushkina et al 2021;Dźwigoł et al 2021aDźwigoł et al , 2021b the conceptual approach to the cluster formation as a specific type of partnership of energy companies, business structures, research institutions, higher education institutions, institutions of logistics, energy and innovation infrastructure, government agencies and authorities are substantiated. Self-government on the basis of green and circular economics, application of the methodology for developing a smart specialization strategy, the introduction of digital technologies and logistics concepts, use of modern financial instruments (venture investment, crowdsourcing, public-private partnership by calling in private investment, credit organizations, pension funds, grants.…”

On the application of the concept of circular economy to ensure balanced sustainable development of the national logistics system in Ukraine

“…Authors provide approach to the formulation of the term "circular economy", as a result of research [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] The analysis shows that many companies around the world are already aware of the need to manage in a "new way", the transformation of economic models and the use of circular economy. Thus, 44% of companies in the top 100 on Fortune Global have chosen a strategy for the development of a circular economy.…”
