Strategic planning as the main tool for the socio-economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation at the present stage
The article discusses the problems of socio-economic development of the regions of the Russian Federation and the main reasons that led to them. The indicators of the socio-economic development of the federal districts are analyzed and the main problems slowing down the socio-economic development at the present stage are noted. The author believes that today the region's management system is undergoing a transformation due to a number of factors: an attempt to build a state in the Russian Federation with a high level and quality of life; the influence of private owners of large enterprises in the most important branches of production, forcing them to seek new methods of state regulation of the regional economy; the growth of elements of authoritarian control, subjectivism and a simplified approach to the complex socio-economic problems of the regions and others. In conclusion, the author concludes that it is necessary to introduce a ««non-imitative» system of strategic management in the regions of the Russian Federation, for which a number of legislative initiatives are needed, above all at the federal level.
