The logic and directions of economic entity integration during the formation of innovation clusters

The presented paper is devoted to a brief estimation of the situation with the formation of cluster structures in the Russian economy and the definition of the main directions of overcoming problems in this area. The evaluation of organizational, financial, methodological and other aspects of economic clusters creation and activities support in the current domestic conditions was conducted. On this basis the approaches to solving the problems of economic clustering have been suggested. The hierarchy of logic levels was examined, and the principles on which the implementation of such tasks should be based were presented. We describe the basic categories and generalized indicators, as well as the requirements to the process of clustering which are the basis for the formation of integral and private indicators system to evaluate the cluster's conditions and development prospects. The structure of the modules of the specialized information analysis system that is being created was presented.
