Abstract

Overcoming social-and-economic problems of single-industry towns by diversification of their economy is possible by creating territories of advancing social and economic development (TASED). In contrast to the researchers claiming that the formation of a cluster with participation of enterprises of more than one municipal territory strengthens mono-profile of town, the authors justify synergies effect from using advantages of TASED and-cluster approach in diversification of single-industry towns’ economy. Regional (municipal) industrial cluster, in contrast to the previously known concepts, the authors consider to be formed with an active role of the regional and municipal authorities for implementing projects of mono-town economy diversification and investment projects that meet the requirements of TASED. As a result of problems and risks systematization concerning clusters’ functioning in Russian and foreign practice the basic principles of building clusters on TASED in mono-towns were defined. The research results present a contribution to the cluster theory, the regional economy in terms of methodology development of building regional (municipal) industrial clusters within TASED for economic diversification of mono-town economy. The practical value of the study lies in the possibility of using the results of work in the activities of regional and municipal authorities in the formation of cluster as residents of TASED in single-industry towns.

Highlights

Reducing the number of single-industry towns included in the list approved by the state, from 335 in 2009 to 319 in 2015, is not accompanied by a decrease in the number of accumulated problems
It makes sense to say that on territories of advancing social and economic development (TASED) in mono-towns it is possible to identify and develop the union of enterprises with the potential to be transformed into regional clusters
Established on TASED of mono-town regional industrial cluster is proposed to consider as: the tool of industry structuring and its network organization; the union of organizations formed to implement economic diversification and investment projects for mono-town that meet the requirements of TASED; networking of enterprises and organizations connected by the production relations on the territory of mono-town; the kind of territorial cluster, the regional industrial cluster, industrial district

Summary

Introduction

Reducing the number of single-industry towns included in the list approved by the state, from 335 in 2009 to 319 in 2015, is not accompanied by a decrease in the number of accumulated problems. Up to now there is no experience of establishing clusters in the framework of programs for creation TASED in mono-towns, there is no concept of cluster applying to the forms of business organization for the development of TASED in single-industry towns. It is possible to assume that the provision of favorable conditions for business development, for example, TASED, will become a factor stimulating the birth and development of clusters as residents of such territories. This determines the relevance and practical significance of this study
