Abstract
The processes of cluster-network integration taking place in the economy at territorial macro-levels can be described as one of the directions in developing “smart” specialization. The concept of management at the level of individual business units is changing, focused on consistency and interdependence not only from external conditions, but also from business environment, whose subjects can significantly influence specialization, improving the quality of goods and services, changing the assortment range, uniting consumers. The agro-industrial complex of Russian regions is steadily developing on the basis of large diversified industries. The advantages are given to the enterprises that move from competition to consolidation and building up common advantages. The article presents an overview of scientific and theoretical approaches describing the concept of cluster-network integration of agro-industrial complex, the features and advantages of this process for various groups of subjects; the analytical part is based on the analysis of Rosstat materials. The paper examines the development trends of Russia’s leading agro-industrial clusters, developing within the framework of horizontal network integration. Based on methods of analysis, synthesis, scientific abstraction and modeling, the article develops a model of cluster-network integration of regional agro-industrial clusters. In the course of the study, conclusions were drawn about the uneven impact of cluster-network integration on the subjects of agroindustrial clusters, due to the scale of their activities, the direction of specialization, and the degree of participation in production. The general positive effects of clustering are the stability of activity and market demand, the build-up of unique network competencies, which are a resource for entrepreneurship. The conditions for the development of cluster-network integration at the level of government authorities, large corporate structures, and family entrepreneurship in agribusiness, the basis of which lies in the tactics and strategy of interests, are revealed. Agro-industrial clusters are developing in the directions of a full-cycle economy, increasing the resource base of agricultural land, compensating for personnel shortages through financial incentives. Cluster-network interaction makes it possible to consolidate the resource potential of subjects of various specializations in order to obtain high-quality goods under conditions of mutual control and benefits.
