Strategic Management of Clustering Policy During Provision of Sustainable Development

Abstract: Analysis of the problems of sustainable development of territories shows that one of the main methods for solving is transition to strategic management of the policy of clustering. Strategic management of the policy of clustering is pre-determined mainly by quick changes of external environment and emergence of hardly predictable economic and financial situations. An important precondition of transition to strategic management of the policy of clustering of territories is the process of globalization of the country’s economy, which determines not only the necessity to use the resource potential effectively, but also to create conditions for creation and formation of new competitive advantages. Enterprises and organizations of small business should become their bearers. The Concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federation until 2020 sets one of the most important conditions for transition to innovational development as “creation of a network of territorial and production clusters which realize competitive potential of territories”. Besides, the Strategy of innovational development of the Russian Federation until 2020 includes into the main goals of innovational policy of regions the transition to principles of innovational cluster policy. Thus, strategic documents of the federal level pay special attention to management of clustering policy through creation of a network of clusters which would allow increasing effectiveness of using competitive potential of territories and providing their sustainable development through development of the network of territorial and production clusters of subjects of small business.

Challenges to Sustainable Rural Development in Russia: Social Issues and Regional Divergences

Abstract: Paper aims at investigation of contemporary approaches to sustainable rural development in Russia. It includes the overview of current experiences in rural development, analysis of major economic and social indicators of rural areas in comparison with urban ones. Analysis included the set of indicators such as number of rural people, number of rural settlements, rates of births and mortalities, natural and migration increases and declines of population, rates of employment and unemployment, average monthly nominal per capita wages, and level of the subsistence minimum. Indicators have been measured separately for rural and urban areas; regions have been grouped in relation to the particular indicator. The research is concluded by discovery of growth points for rural development and a set of recommendations on perspective measures of state and local policies in rural areas, directed on increase of living standards of rural population and retention of labour resources in their traditional rural areas of inhabitation.

Digitalization as the Key Factor in AIC Development

Abstract: Currently, the pace of digitalization of the economy is growing. Despite the progress of many high-tech sectors of the economy over the past few decades, the welfare of the population is still determined by the development of agriculture. Moreover, in the foreseeable future, the importance of this sector of the economy will only grow steadily due to an increase in the population, urbanization processes, a reduction in the size of cultivated land, environmental pollution, and several other reasons that accompany evolutionary changes. Therefore, the production of products and meeting the needs of the population in food products with high quality are invariably among the strategic tasks of national importance. The innovative nature of advanced agricultural technologies, including the active use of information technologies as basic elements, led to the digital transformation of the agro-industrial complex [AIC]. The review of successful practices of introducing modern information technologies into the organization and management of agricultural production confirms that ensuring an acceptable degree of efficiency is achieved through the adoption of system management decisions, taking into account the mutual conditionality, specificity of the applied information technologies, and various software and hardware systems.

Synthesis and electrophysical properties of nanostructured composites NіCо/BaTiO3 and NiCo/TiO2

Abstract: Nanocomposites containing components with semiconductor, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic properties have attracted considerable attention of specialists due to the range of possible applications, including catalysis and electrocatalysis, electrode materials for solar and fuel cells, capacitors, electrical and biosensors, anti-corrosion coatings and much more. In recent years, both fundamental and applied interest in this direction of research is due to the possibility of creating a new type of controlled microwave devices and tools. The aim of the work is to develop methods for the synthesis of nanostructured NiCo composites based on BaTiO3 and TiO2, as well as to find the differences and regularities of their physicochemical properties. Two series of samples with different content of NiCo nanoparticles based on titanium oxide (TiO2) and barium titanate (BaTiO3) were obtained. NiCo particles were obtained by the method of chemical precipitation of nickel and cobalt carbonates in equal parts from a hydrazine hydrate solution at the temperature of 350 K. The results of X-ray phase analysis indicate the chemical purity of the obtained samples. The values of ε′, ε″ at a frequency of 9 GHz for the NiCo/BaTiO3 system are twice as high compared to NiCo/TiO2 for the corresponding values of the NiCo content, which is due to the higher values of ε′, ε″ of the initial barium titanate. Electrical conductivity of NiCo/BaTiO3 system changes by six orders of magnitude, which indicates the formation of a continuous percolation cluster of metal particles on the surface of dielectric BaTiO3 particles. The composites are heat-resistant up to 630K, as shown by the method of thermogravimetry and pronounced magnetic properties. The program for calculating frequency dependences of reflection and absorption coefficients in a complex form has been developed. EMF absorption for composites from the radiation frequency and the position of the minima of these characteristics, which agree satisfactorily with the experiment. The obtained composites can be promising components for obtaining composite systems and paints for protection against electromagnetic radiation.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth: The Experience of Developed and Developing Countries

Abstract: This chapter elaborates on entrepreneurship in developed and developing countries and focuses on the optimization of entrepreneurial activities. Various scenarios are considered: independent functioning of the market, integration in the form of reorganization (mergers and acquisitions), integration in the form of clustering, and integration in the form of innovational networks and technological parks. The optimal structure of the integration processes and best-case scenarios for its implementation to accelerate the rate and increase the quality of economic growth are substantiated. The potential for uptake of integration processes in stimulating economic growth through entrepreneurship is determined by the level of institutionalization in an economy. In developed countries, all forms of company integration are characterized by the high level of institutionalization, which allows for their effective use for economic growth. Independent companies, mergers, and acquisitions restrain economic growth and reduce its quality, while clusters, technological parks, and innovational networks accelerate the rate of economic growth and increase its quality. In developing countries, integration processes in entrepreneurship have a different influence on economic growth and require further institutionalization.

Clusters and Innovational Networks Toward Sustainable Growth

Abstract: This chapter elaborates on the role of clusters and innovational networks in Russia and interprets that the future growth of Russia’s economy depends on the development of clusters and innovational networks. We substantiated that clusters and innovational networks possess considerable potential in the sphere of provision of sustainable growth of Russia’s economy. Today, this potential is not used due to unequal distribution of clusters and innovational networks on Russia’s vast territory and due to their being at the initial stage of development – despite their prolonged period of existence. However, even in the current conditions, clusters and innovational networks make a significant contribution to Russia’s GDP (15.58% in 2018). By 2024, by implementing our described optimal scenario of clusters and innovational networks development, it would be possible to expand Russia’s GDP by 15 times, which will allow increasing the country’s GDP by 2.5 times. This positive effect will be achieved due to the provision of balance and stability of economic growth, which will make it more sustainable. Clusters and innovational networks should become a basis for sustainable growth of Russia’s economy. We recommend a scenario of sustainable growth based on a more equal distribution of clusters and innovational networks across Russia and a quicker development of clusters and innovational networks via more extensive involvement of private businesses.
