Factors That Influence the Industrial Complexes Performance at the Mesolevel

Abstract

The Russian fishing industry is a strategically important element in ensuring the country's food security. It has established production, technological, and economic ties with many industries and types of economic activity and plays an important social role. However, the current state of the Russian fishing industry is primarily described by the loss of competitive positions in both domestic and foreign markets. Long lasting systemic crisis and stagnation in this industry negatively influenced the economic potential and prospects for its development. The development of the fishing industry is of particular interest to the Primorye Territory, since this industry is directly related to the socioeconomic development of this particular region and the Far East as a whole. Today, the fishing industry of the Primorye Territory provides the bulk of fish products in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD): the production of marketable products amounted to 27.6 thous. tons in 2019, against 7.5 thous. tons a year earlier. The fishing industry is described by a variety of systemic external and internal factors that influence its performance. Development of managerial decisions, first of all, requires to define a set of factors as "levers" for improving business processes and developing tools of state support. The goal of the study is to identify and group the factors that influence the industrial complexes operation at the mesolevel (for example, the fishing industry of the Primorye Territory). The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was to use general methods of scientific and theoretical analysis to deepen the phenomena and concepts under study. The methods of analysis and synthesis were used in the article to consider and identify the factors that influence the performance of the fishing industry in the region, as well as to reveal connections between the elements, their interaction and contradictions.
