Systematic Approach to the Formation of Cluster Structures and Enterprises in Agro-Industrial Complex of the Voronezh Region

Abstract

The work is devoted to the analysis of cluster structures and enterprises in the agro-industrial sector of the Voronezh region from the point of system analysis view. In the framework of the systematic approach, the formed cluster structures have rank distributions corresponding to the hyperbolic Zipf's law. It is shown that the hyperbolic laws with a real indicator characterize formations with a systemic organization. The consideration of the formed cluster structures as system objects leads to the need to assess the shape of rank distributions. To verify the fulfillment of the systematic conditions of the analyzed agro-industrial cluster, the method of statistical tests was used. The article presents the results of testing on the data of the agro-industrial cluster in the Voronezh region, which allow coming to the conclusion about the nature of the ranking distribution. It is shown that the newly formed cluster of agricultural enterprises demonstrates the necessary properties of system formation. The fulfillment of the Zipf distribution on the constructed rank distribution confirms the assumption of the systemic nature of the new economic structure. In general, the results obtained indicate the perspectives of a new economic structure.
