CLUSTER AS A MEANS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF GRAIN CROP GROWING IN UKRAINE

Introduction. Natural and climatic conditions and factors of production intensity are important in increasing the efficiency of growing cereal crops. In order to provide the population of the country and its regions with food on a scientifically sound basis based on the deepening of specialization, concentration and interregional exchange of agricultural products, raw materials and food, it is necessary to take into account the existing regional division of labor in agricultural production and the placement of production of certain types of products by using the natural potential of agriculture, the ratio volumes of production and consumption, which depend on the volumes of commodity resources for export or the need for their import. Methods. The following methods and techniques were used to implement the tasks: monographic – for a comprehensive study of the current state of agricultural production, assessment of the organizational and economic conditions of grain crop production by agricultural enterprises and determination of factors affecting the efficiency of activities; selective – for a detailed survey of agricultural commodity producers in the production of cereal crops; comparison – to compare economic phenomena in different time periods in order to identify a cause-and-effect relationship; abstract and logical, calculation-constructive and optimization - when substantiating directions of production specialization in agricultural enterprises. Results. It has been proven that the following are the priority areas of the grain production cluster development strategy: increasing the efficiency of infrastructure organizations based on a higher level of investment attractiveness of the region; stimulation of innovative activity in the cluster; intensification of work on the development of cooperative relations in the cluster, which is based on the formation of special programs to strengthen relationships between its participants; development and implementation of measures to activate missing functions in the grain sub-complex. Discussion. The development of grain production clusters in the future will ensure the formation of specialized zones for the cultivation and processing of grains of grain crops, which will ensure the improvement of their efficiency and the satisfaction of the internal needs of the population of Ukraine. A promising direction of further research is solving the problem of increasing efficiency by introducing innovative products into the technological process of production and processing of grain crops within the territorial specialized cluster in order to create added value in the conditions of the export-oriented post-war economy of Ukraine. Key words: specialization, concentration, cluster, specialized zones, cultures.

The Impact of City Cluster Development on the Inter-City Disparity: Evidence From China

City clusters are important carriers for China’s future urbanization and vital areas for promoting coordinated regional development and common prosperity. The authors first divide the city clusters into Types I, II, and III according to the characteristics of their development stages, and measure the degree of development of city clusters by using city-level night time light (NTL) data and inter-city commuting time, and empirically identify the types of China’s city clusters. On that basis, the authors examine the influence of city cluster development on the inter-city disparity from a perspective of urban agglomeration. The results show that the development of Type I city clusters can lead to the widest inter-city disparity, and that of Type II city clusters ranks the second place in this regard, while that of Type III city clusters can narrow the inter-city disparity. Furthermore, using the 268-year historical geographic data of the Qing Dynasty, the authors construct instrumental variables to address the endogeneity issues, and find that the above conclusions are robust. This study also finds that the factor allocation for the development of Types I and II city clusters is oriented towards labor, while that for Type III city clusters is oriented towards capital. Besides, different types of city clusters vary in the extent of correcting factor misallocation for their development. The differences in the orientation of factor allocation and the extent of factor misallocation correction constitute the main mechanism for the heterogeneous influence of city cluster development on the inter-city disparity. China’s city cluster development strategy should adopt a category-based approach to avoid homogenization, conform to the objective laws, and make greater use of central cities’ spatial spillover effects.

Has mining agglomeration affected energy productivity in Africa?

Given the rising resource exploration and mining openings, energy demand improvement is crucial for African sustainable development as it forms an integral part of public revenue. However, mining agglomeration benefits on energy productivity have been recognized in prior studies, yet empirical insights on Africa's mining sector remain unknown. This paper evaluates the impact of mining agglomeration on energy productivity in Africa using country-level data on 21 economies from 2009 to 2017. The study applied panel fixed effect model, and panel threshold fixed effect technique to estimate linear and nonlinear effects. Energy productivity is computed using Shephard energy distance function (SEDF). The findings suggest that mining agglomeration directly enhances energy productivity. Also, a nonlinear relationship exists between mining agglomeration and energy productivity. In particular, the positive impact of mining agglomeration only exists at a certain level of economic development. Further, on average, total Africa's mining energy productivity improved over the sample period, but performance differs among economic regions. The study findings support the view that policymakers should re-enforce, upgrade, and adopt innovative cluster development strategies and investor-friendly elements in regional mining codes.

Clustering of potato chips SMEs in Batu City, Indonesia

Batu City, Indonesia, has the local product potentials of potato chips with a number of 30 Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs). In improving their competitiveness, SMEs still have problems in product standardization, such as low communication and coordination in production and marketing among SMEs, Government, and marketing agencies. The research aimed to cluster the potato chips SMEs in Batu City for the business development strategy. The study method was the integration of k-means clustering and Fuzzy Analytical Network Process with 9 SMEs as respondents, which met the criteria required. The variables used in clustering are production capacity, number of workers, average turnover, length of operation, and halal certification status. The results showed that the SMEs of potato chips were formed in 2 clusters where cluster 1 (4 SMEs) of a micro-scale and cluster 2 (5 SMEs) of small-scale businesses. Cluster 1 developed the strategy by increasing access to capital, while cluster 2 through marketing access. The success rate of determining the SMEs industrial cluster development strategy will depend directly on the cooperation between institutions include core industries, supporting industries, raw material suppliers, and other supporting institutions.

This study argues that regional development of tourism and recreation industries is of critical significance to the interregional division of labor and participation in interdistrict exchange of products and services, only in the case of ensuring a competitive recreational product. The findings demonstrate that the specifics of a cluster development strategy application in tourism and recreation sectors in Ukraine is based on the premises that strategic planning and clustering paradigm relies upon forecasting and development planning of individual territories and businesses with a high level of tourism and recreation potential whereas a number of other region’s territories remain uninvolved in any regional projects or programs. Based on a cluster approach, the study offers a framework to enhance management support of the regional tourism and recreation businesses that will facilitate fair assessment of the current situation as well as ensure effective utilization of the resources needed for harmonious industry development. The implementation of the cluster approach in coordinating tourism and recreation business activities will contribute to creating a high-quality competitive product, thus imposing important social, economic and other implications for the region and the society. In addition, the study presents a well-grounded formalized model of building a management decision-making process in marketing-driven management of tourism and recreation entrepreneurship which allows identifying the target management function, with a special focus on the core characteristics of tourism and recreation business as well as on the priority alternatives to substantiate an effective marketing action plan to ensure social and economic performance.

ІННОВАЦІЙНІ КЛАСТЕРИ У ВІДНОВЛЮВАНІЙ ЕНЕРГЕТИЦІ: ПРОБЛЕМИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ

The article offers prospects for the development of clusters in the electric power industry. The goals, objectives and principles of the cluster development strategy in the energy sector are formulated. The strategy is based on the organizational and economic mechanism for regulating the development of the energy sector. The transition of the electric power industry to an innovative development path is the most important problem, the successful solution of which will largely determine the prospects for improving the competitiveness of the domestic economy. However, over the past few years, innovation in the energy sector has been characterized by insufficient activity. In the context of the global financial crisis, this situation becomes a factor that hinders the overcoming of negative trends in the development of the domestic economy and complicates its subsequent transition to a path of sustainable growth. The electric power industry is currently undergoing significant changes. The changes are due to scientific and technological progress, the process of European integration of the energy sector, regional and sectoral internal factors, and so on. Today, the formation of cluster structures in the electric power industry of Ukraine is a necessary condition for the revival of domestic production, increasing the efficiency of innovative development, achieving a high level of economic growth, energy efficiency, energy security and energy independence. Informatization on the specifics of the development of the country's regions contributes to the actualization of the role of clusters, which will create competitive advantages. Along with this, problems related to the development and implementation of the cluster approach regarding the integration transformations of the energy industry in order to ensure sustainable development of the region are insufficiently studied. There is no single method for determining potential clusters, a system of criteria and indicators for the development of energy-saving systems clusters that would allow you to make management decisions on their creation, increase the number of employees efficiency of their functioning and improve strategic management models regional development of renewable energy.

The article considers the current tools for the implementation of cluster policy in Ukraine, taking into account the practice and experience of European countries. The relationship between cluster policies and tools for their implementation at the national, regional and local levels has been studied. It is substantiated that modern attempts to develop and implement cluster policy at different levels in Ukraine are dissonant, fragmentary and have a more declarative than applied content. This is evidenced by the lack of appropriate legislation at the national level and distortions in defining “reasonable specialization” of regions, lack of effective communication, financial donations, mechanisms and tools for promoting and implementing cluster policies in both regions and the state as a whole. Given the above, we will focus the plane of the problem field on the main vectors of integrated cluster policy in Ukraine: tools and programs at the cluster level; tools and programs at the regional level; national policies and strategies that define sectoral priorities and directions of development and are directly related to cluster development (industrial policy, innovation, export, digital), as well as national regional development policy). Mechanisms that determine the general economic course and conditions, primarily tax, financial and organizational instruments. The study of tools for the implementation of cluster policies at different levels has convincingly demonstrated the need for their comprehensive interaction within a single national cluster development strategy. It is thanks to the purposeful policy of promoting the development of clusters in Ukraine that it is possible to develop supply chains of goods and services with their further integration into European value chains; to implement research and innovation strategies of smart specialization in the regions; to solve problems of ecology and efficient use of resources by introduction of ecological innovations, eco-industrial clusters and parks; to equalize socio-economic distortions in the development of sectors of the economic system.

Tourist and recreational clusters have become an effective tool for regional development, as they allow using collective opportunities to create tourism products, as well as contribute to the development of related industries. In the Astrakhan region, the tourism cluster was created with the participation of government agencies and is currently in an active stage of its development. The Astrakhan regional tourist cluster comprises interacting economic agents of the tourism sector and related activities, administrative bodies and coordinations, public organizations and research institutes. Despite the existing measures of state support, further effective development of the tourism cluster is associated with the solution of numerous problems. To study the mechanisms of interaction among the participants of the tourism cluster of the Astrakhan region, a survey was conducted, the results of which confirm the presence of a number of problems, including those in the field of cluster management. There have been shown unregulated issues of interdepartmental cooperation on execution of responsibilities for implementation of state policy in the field of tourism, as well as the low level of formalized interaction of cluster members, problems with stuffing, partial use of tourism and recreational potential of the region and increase of ‘shadow’ market participants. Nowadays, in the Astrakhan region there has been adopted the Strategy of tourism cluster development for the period up to 2020. Systematic realization of the Strategy will create conditions for the formation of a competitive and actively developing tourism cluster.

Designing model of performance measurement system of sugar industry cluster based on integrated performance measurement system approach

The Indonesian need for sugar is not balanced with domestic sugar production. This is reinforced by the fact that Indonesia is still a sugar importing country since the 1990s. Since 2010 - 2014, Indonesia's import value reaches 1.7 million US $ every year. This situation indicates mismatch with the roadmap of the sugar industry which is expected by 2015 to 2020. East Java as one of the largest contributor of Indonesian sugar with a contribution percentage of 52.31% of the overall national production has an important role in the development of the sugar industry. Therefore, a comprehensive sugar industry cluster development strategy is needed to be developed. The design of performance measurement system with Integrated Performance Measurement System (IPMS) approach was chosen by selecting PT 'X' as the core agent. The research stages are identification of sugar industry cluster system, stakeholder requirement and objective, Key Performance Indicator (KPI) formulation and model development. Development of performance measurement model by determining aspects and criteria of success of industrial cluster, weighting on each element using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and designing scoring board to facilitate implementation. There were 4 aspects in performance measurement, 9 criteria, 3 sub criteria and 45 KPI’s.

SIMULATION MODELLING OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS CLUSTERS IN UKRAINE

The aim. The article is devoted to the development of methodological approaches to the strategic management of the development of transport and logistics clusters, which take into account opportunities and barriers, especially the domestic economic environment, as well as the specifics of certain types of economic activity. Methods. The economic and mathematical model is substantiated using the Savage criterion, which gives an opportunity to choose the optimal strategy of transport and logistics cluster development in the domestic conditions of management taking into account the different expectations of business entities. Methods similar to the Wald, Bayesian and Savage criteria were used for choosing optimal strategies in decision making theory and optimization problems of the following types were solved: when the distribution of states of the environment is unknown and assumed to be the most unfavourable; when it is known empirical expected distribution of environmental conditions and that is the average expected performance level for each indicator’s group; when it is known expected division of the priorities of the decision-making entity that is the average expected level of financial (organizational, etc.) support for a certain group of indicators. Results. Four types of “clean” cluster development strategies are identified and described, which can be used in various combinations by transport and logistics companies. The economic and mathematical model of the transport and logistics cluster performance is presented, which allows implementing a large number of combinations of types of cluster development strategy by taking economic, environmental, social and innovative measures, affecting different groups of performance indicators. The influence of all possible variants of the binary and ternary combination of different types of transport and logistics cluster development strategies on the cluster performance is considered. It is established that the greatest influence on the transport and logistics cluster performance is exerted by the combination of economic and innovative types of strategy. Practical significance. Given the interest of entrepreneurs in cluster forms of organization and the strengthening of cooperation with EU countries, present development promotes scientific approaches to modelling cluster development strategies in the economy of Ukraine. Relevance/originality. The developed simulation model increases the likelihood of implementing the most optimal combination of “clean” development strategies, contributes to a more accurate prediction of cluster development and as a methodological approach can be applied to various types of economic activity.

Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) and sustainable development: China’s cultural industries clusters

The cultural and creative industries link the traditional knowledge to the ultimate consumer in their capacity to serve both cultural and economic objectives. In this regard, the cultural and creative industries can be seen as consistent with the sustainable development paradigm. Cultural industries cluster is playing an increasingly important role in the development of Chinese cultural industries. This article looks at the Cluster Development Strategy of Chinese Cultural Industries and tries to draw a map of cultural industries clusters in Beijing according to the data gathered from 19 cultural industries clusters in Beijing. With the clusters as a case study, we argue that in the course of development clusters are weak in production research and innovation, combined effect and public service although there is much achievement .At last, the suggestions to promote the sustainable development of cultural industries clusters will be discussed.
