SYSTEMATIZATION OF STRATEGIC CLUSTER INITIATIVES FOR LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION AND ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THEIR IMPLEMENTATION
This article is devoted to the formation of a systematic approach when initiating investment projects of a regional scale. The region, as a socio-economic system, is influenced by the forces and interests of three levels: the interests of private business and industries within the region, the interests of the region itself in the person of its administration, the interests of the metaregional order in the person of federal and interregional bodies and big business. It is necessary to understand that the interests of the region itself as an integral systemic formation may not coincide with the interests of the subjects of the micro, sectoral and federal levels. Moreover, the absence or weakness of the regional administration's own position almost always results in the failure to achieve potential growth rates in view of, for example, the parallel implementation of projects competing for resources or «unusual» projects that the existing sectorial structure of the region does not perceive and does not multiply. This paper evaluates the residual multiplier effect from the implementation of a conventional meat processing plant in a comparative context with the project for coal mining in the conditions of the Tuva economy. The residual (localized in Tuva) multiplier effect from the implementation of the agro-industrial project (relative to the total volume of the multiplier effect) is 2,5 times higher than that of the coal project.
