Abstract

roDionowa i., kreJDenko t., mąDry C., 2018. Cluster policy in the Russian Federation: A case study of industrial clusters. Quaestiones Geographicae 37(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 61-75. 3 tables, 3 figs.abstract: The article describes cluster policy in the Russian Federation regarding industrial clusters. In the first part, the authors explain the definitions of basic concepts related to clusters that are used in Russia, the features of cluster policy in the light of European experiences, and bring closer the Russian literature on the subject. In the second part, they distinguish and describe five stages of cluster policy in Russia. In the third part, they present basic quantitative data describing clusters in Russia, including their spatial diversification, the number of entities creating clusters, employment, etc. A particular role of the state in creating clusters and subsequent cluster policy programs is described, paying attention to their low efficiency.

The effects of culture, attitudes and perceptions on industrial cluster policy: The case of Russia

“…We employ our adapted model to examine the adoption of industrial cluster policies in Russia (Mindlin et al., 2016; Rodionova et al., 2018), a considerably different cultural and governmental context to that normally discussed in the cluster literature (Delgado et al., 2014; Lazzarini, 2015). Factors highlighted by this examination are likely to be relevant to other similar social and political contexts.…”

Analysis on Sustainable Development of Tire Industry Cluster Based on Life Cycle Theory

“…When a tire industry cluster enters the maturity period, the conditions occurred in the growth period play an important role. It is conducive to the formation of a stable strengthening mechanism [9] . At maturity period, we must pay attention to the mining of resources in the region and strengthen the access to external resources as well as internal links to promote the enhancement of industrial clusters.…”

What Agglomeration Externalities Impact the Development of the Hi-tech Industry Sector? Evidence from the Russian Regions

“…Given the close link between the integration of technologies and innovation, long-term sustained growth and an increase in general productivity may be under threat. The policymakers in Russia attempted to transform the R&D sector, mainly through new legislation and tax incentives (Rodionova et al, 2018) In this study, we intend to examine the electrical equipment, electronic, and optical equipment sector in Russia, which is typically labeled as the "hi-tech" sector and involves technological development and innovations by the Russian Federal State Statistics Service («Росстат»). The federal government has given the hi-tech industry significant attention in Russia in its attempts to stimulate innovative development in the country (Crescenzi and Jaax, 2017;Samsonov et al, 2017).…”
