Program-targeted management of the economic development of the Arctic
The article discusses the theoretical aspects of program-target management and the specific features of its application to the economic development of the Arctic zone. The capabilities of the program-targeted management methodology are fully realized only in the case of clear understanding of the expected results, correct definition of goals and objectives, as well as the necessary resources. Otherwise, the method leads to inefficient spending of time and resources. Analysis of the acting version of the state program “Social and economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025” showed that the indicators, planned for the achievement, do not correspond to the goals and objectives of the Program. It was assumed that the specification of activities and financial resources, allocated for these purposes, is reflected in three subprogrammes, which, according to the logic of the document, are designed to ensure the solution of the tasks of the Arctic Program in the framework of the implementation of the main goal. However, the study of the subprogram of the formation of reference zones showed the absence of specific mechanisms for the development of this institution, and the analysis of the subprogram of the development of the Northern Sea Route revealed a lack of mechanisms for solving the problem of increasing the cargo traffic. Regarding the implementation of the subprogram of creating equipment and technologies for oil and gas and industrial engineering, there are no answers to the question of its role in the economic development of the Arctic. The authors concluded that the Arctic program was of a purely departmental nature.
