NEW FORMS OF COOPERATION OF BUSINESS ENTITIES IN THE UKRAINIAN MARITIME ECONOMIC COMPLEX

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Recently, science and education, which generate new knowledge and provide training of highly qualified workers for enterprises and organizations of the industry, have been increasingly important in the development of the economy of the maritime economic complex (MEC) of the country. It is new knowledge that is becoming an important component of the modern economy. The development of information technology, the increasing role of the scientific and technological process, the globalization of the world economy require the introduction of new approaches and methods in management. In modern business conditions, business structures that use new economic approaches in organizing their activities become successful. Such structures most often contain their own research centres, which provide scientific support for their activities, and work closely with educational institutions, within which training and retraining of personnel for the participants of these structures is carried out. To the fullest extent, the requirements of this interaction are met by such a relatively new form of association of enterprises and organizations for Ukraine as clusters that have been functioning effectively for a long time not only in industrialized countries, but also in developing economies. Clusters arise at the national, sectoral, regional and municipal levels. The range of forms and types of cluster structures is extremely wide. This creates significant difficulties in the formation of the maritime cluster in a particular region and requires serious research work in this area.
