Standard cluster model: theory and application in the practice of municipal planning
In the article on the basis of systems analysis theoretical approaches to a cluster model choice, as the most general class of models that describe the correlations of the elements of a complex system, are proposed.The expediency of separation of the main elements of the cluster in the form of four blocks: the cluster kernel, the suppliers’ block, the consumers’ block and the block of the supporting infrastructure - is substantiated. The standard cluster model developed by the author and tested on the example of the agro-industrial and tourist industries of the municipal entity of Berezovsky district of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra is presented. The author describes a standard structure of the cluster model, and also justifies the need for its expansion due to such non-systemic elements as «external suppliers» and «export outside the region». These elements should not be included in the cluster theoretically, but their inclusion in the cluster makes it possible to carry out the most important economic analysis to justify investment projects, which are implemented in the territory of municipal entities, as well as to develop practical measures for industrial policy and support of local enterprises.
