Cluster approach in ensuring the development of the sports industry in Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of the research. There is a substantiation of a cluster approach to ensuring the development of a sports industry in Ukraine. Methodology. Investigated general scientific methods, in particular: theoretical generalization - to determine theoretical bases and tendencies of content and components of the principles, cluster approach in providing the development of the Sports industry; system approach - for generalization of properties and conditions for the formation of clusters and techno-parks; methods of positive and normative analysis - for the development of recommendations and conclusions. Results. The article considers the experience of implementing a cluster approach to the organization of the economy on the example of leading countries. It is determined that the most effective in building a system of economic governance is a cluster. The advantage of this approach is the ability to concentrate the efforts of economic entities in creating added value, creating new conditions for the development of traditional and new sectors of the economy. Global experience in the development of the cluster approach shows the positive dynamics taking place in certain sectors. This development will be exacerbated by the intensification of competition between large organizations and small and medium-sized businesses, on the one hand, scientific discoveries on the other. In order to develop a cluster model of economic organization in the construction of public policy, the mechanisms of stimulating innovation, job creation, the level of infrastructure development, tax benefits are taken into account. Therefore, the introduction of a cluster approach in the practice of public administration is an urgent issue in the process of forming the state Ukrainian policy, focused on economic growth and sustainable development in the long run. Definitely, a sports cluster is a network structure with vertical and horizontal connections between organizations of the sports industry (main) and service industries (sporting goods, inventory, equipment, etc.) and infrastructure services. It should be noted that the state does not initiate the creation of a cluster, but creates conditions for the development of the cluster ("rules of the game") through tax, budget, credit policy, customs, the creation of research centers, sports infrastructure. Prospects for further research. Investigation of the principles of a cluster approach to ensuring the development of the sports industry in Ukraine give grounds for further improvement of the tools for the development of the sports industry and why will be devoted to further exploration of the author.
