Abstract
The main Lithuanian manufacturing industry clustering preconditions are related to productivity, innovation, and export development. In this research paper, it was found that the strength of cooperative relationships among cluster members, more favorable opportunities to access, and use of infrastructure of business and professional human resources are the major factors to form the preconditions chosen for developing a research model. Four hypotheses have been formulated, which aim to confirm or deny the formation of clustering economic preconditions for productivity, innovation, and export development. Along with the exploratory study, the arisen hypotheses verified that improvement of infrastructure of business and professional human resources and easier access to it for companies have a positive impact on export development. Two other factors – the strength of cooperative relationships and the infrastructure of human resources – are not significant. Cooperation and partnership processes remain undeveloped, as high-quality and full-value formation of the economic preconditions for productivity, innovation, and export development is not ensured properly.

Summary
Major changes in the manufacturing industry are taking place in the contemporary global economy, which is extremely dynamic, economic development is uneven, and competitive struggle is intensifying. The use of competitive advantage factors is becoming a key priority for successful competition In this context, industrial companies are embarking on networking, one of the relevant forms of which is clustering. Most researchers emphasize the benefits of a cluster and its relationship with the preconditions for business efficiency, productivity, and innovation; policies to promote clustering are increasingly being developed in the countries’ strategies for economic development and increasing competitiveness.
