EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLUSTER APPROACH IN THE SHIP-BUILDING INDUSTRY OF RUSSIA

Abstract

The article assesses the feasibility of using a cluster approach to improve the efficiency of the functioning of enterprises of the ship-building industry of the Russian Federation. It contains the results of a study of the activities of shipbuilding enterprises that are members of clusters operating in our coun-try in the field of shipbuilding. The paper pre-sents a systematization of the participants and the main characteristics, as well as the expected results of the functioning of these clusters at the planning stage. The existing world and domestic experience in creating such structures has proved their effective-ness in various industries. At the same time, an analysis of the dynamics of performance indicators of participating enterprises over the period of the clusters' existence, con-ducted on the basis of accounting state-ments and annual reports, revealed a dis-crepancy between the expected and real results. The paper identifies the reasons for the absence of the planned effect of the as-sociation of domestic shipbuilders within the framework of cluster structures, as well as the conditions for its achievement in the fu-ture.
