An algorithm of economic substantiation of using multi-level networking cooperation for the substitution of import

Abstract

The article shows that multi-level network cooperation can be an effective tool for organizing import substitution industries in the Russian Federation under international sanctions, but its use prevents the lack of scientific and methodological support of its application. It is shown that the existing methodological apparatus designed for single-level outsourcing can not be moved in case of multi-level cooperation because of the fundamental differences between these types of networking. A list of these differences is given. An algorithm for choosing the optimal organizational form, based on the criterion of minimum total costs (which are the sum of investment, management and operating costs) is presented.
